Industry Reviews
"Cohn writes with verve and an edible, unique style somewhat reminiscent of Francesca Lia Block's in its ability to evoke a vivid and believable language that's separate from that of the parental generation, but also with a touch of the breathless, desperate comedy of BRIDGET JONES' DIARY....This is a sparkling authorial debut featuring a memorable YA heroine."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (04/01/2002)
