What they’re saying about Fact of Life #31...
Reviews
“...The novel is well-written and well-paced. All the characters are likable even as they fail to communicate with each other in moments of comedy juxtaposed with real pain.”* -- Kliatt, (*asterisk highlights exceptional books.)
“...Told in Kat’s passionate voice, this coming-of-age novel, with its romantic subplot, snappy dialogue and strong secondary characters, will appeal to fans of Sarah Dessen.”--Kirkus Reviews
“...athletic, artsy, oddball Kat is an unusual protagonist who doesn’t easily fit into type, and many readers will welcome her strong individuality and believable growth.” --Booklist
“...In her second novel, Denise Vega delivers a thoughtful, realistic story about friendships, families, firsts, and fresh starts.” Little Willow on Amazon.com
“...it's enjoyable, and I'll be recommending it to my avid realistic fiction readers.” -- bookshelves of doom.
“...Kat is a wonderful character that the reader immediately comes to love. Through her highs and lows, the reader is constantly rooting for her. All along the reader knows that Kat is stronger than she realizes, and the self-acceptance she gets in the end makes you want to stand up and applaud for her.” -- teens read too
“Vega is a master at putting her characters in difficult situations and allowing them to grow and work through things, and this book is no exception...A beautiful exploration of life, love, and family; definitely a must-read!” --Jolene Gutierrez, Librarian
