"Nice engaging story!"
Really enjoying this so far
"My eldest son is on the autistic spectrum and I love that you included this as part of your character's development. I'm really enjoying this so far and excited to read more. The plot is engaging and the opening chapter hooked me straight away."
Love it!
"I absolutely adore this story. Right from the beginning, everything about it feels so real. Starting with a flashback was very effective, as it immediately gave us an idea of what Rebecca is like, but you pulled me in gradually, which allowed me to get my bearings and really invest in your characters, especially Rebecca. As someone who grew up with two older brothers, the family dynamic between the three siblings feels super real to me (I mean, I never had them break into the bathroom like that, but I still found that scene absolutely hilarious) and just their general back and forth felt really well realized and relatable to me. And getting to know Rebecca and the characters through school and their friends and dance was very effective. I don't know how else to describe this story other than real. It feels like something any reader could grasp onto and invest in, which is a feat of itself, so bravo! :) One thing to mention, and this is simply because I'm not from the UK, but I would suggest providing some explanation for the GCSE's and the GCE's. But that's minor in the grand scheme of things. :) Overall I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this. Really fantastic job :)"

"i definitely didn’t expect for Rebecca’s mom to have died at the beginning. very sad but a very intriguing opening! i’m not so sure what the overall plot is just from the first chapter but Rebecca is a good character, so it doesn’t really matter. some of your sentences sounded a bit off and sometimes childish due to your word choice but overall it was great! keep on writing!!

"WOW! I absolutely adore this book and am amazed to see that this isn’t a bestseller or paperback yet! The way you describe autism in the main character is really hard hitting. I loved every second of it and can’t wait to buy it in paperback! Congratulations author on an amazing book, Olivia x"

"This is the first time after a very long time that I've read a young adult story. And, I've loved every bit of it! The fact that the protagonist is an autistic teenage girl made it even more interesting to me. My only child is autistic as well and I know how harsh our society can be towards these kids. I have a first-hand experience of how earnestly my son tries to fit in, to be accepted by the so-called 'normal kids'. So when I read about Rebecca and her singlings and how they all lost their mother at the tender age of eight, it broke my heart. Seeing Rebecca growing up in a household with only male members around her and no motherly figure to help her know about womanhood made my heart go out to her. The way the author has depicted the social stereotypes about being gay or homosexual is amazing. Kudos to the author for being able to write about teenage kids in an authentic fashion. It never felt made up. To me, it's like I'm actually there, right in the middle of the Cohen household watching the characters move around me like people of real flesh and blood. I sincerely hope that this book gets its fair share of reads and stars. I will definitely continue to read the story till its very end and see how things turn out for Becky. :-)"

I really like the main character and her relationship with her family, I love how you built her character and the flashbacks were really effective and a good touch. I enjoyed very aspect of the story and I am looking forward to read the rest of your work! "

"Great dynamic between the different characters. I think your story has a lot of potential! You provide just enough detail in your scenes, moving the read along at a good pace "

"Based on the few chapters read the story is pretty interesting but needs some fixing like grammar and a few restructuring. And with other necessary parameters like plot, character, story development, etc duly considered I am sure it will make a good read."
