"Flynn Doherty''s competing desires to uncover the secrets behind his ex-girlfriend''s disappearance and keep his own secrets hidden propel debut author Roehrig''s powerful thriller. . . . A compelling mystery and characters with fully developed strengths and flaws make Roehrig''s novel an important addition in the world of queer young adult fiction." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Debut novelist Roehrig peoples his sensationalistic, twisty mystery with credible characters, especially narrator Flynn, whose struggles with coming out will resonate with young gay teens in more mundane circumstances. Witty, realistically foulmouthed dialogue and the suspenseful, well-laid mystery will keep pages turning . . . Readers won''t be able to put it down." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"This truly hair-raising, stand-out mystery thriller from debut author Roehrig will keep readers guessing, even until the end." -Booklist, starred review

"The characters are believable, the mystery is interesting, and the action is often fast-paced. Flynn''s internal struggle to open up about his sexuality carries weight, and readers will be drawn into his emotional journey and his adventures in amateur sleuthing . . . A fun mystery with a credible emotional pull." -School Library Journal
