"although the plot is a bit obvious in places, it has a couple of good twists and it's so well-written that it doesn't matter - a really great book with characters who have depth, reality and humour."
"a really amazing book which follows Penelope, a teenage girl in 50's england who has to deal with love, rock 'n' roll, a crumbling mansion, guinea-pigs, friendship, and her fascinating family,"
"set in the 60's, this is a book that combines friendship, mystery, humour, and drama. this is one of those books which never has a lull in the story line."
"Gabriella Zevin is a really great young adult author, and this book is one of her best; when Naomi has an accident and loses 3 years of memory she has to piece together what happened to her life."
"this story is split between the main character Julia's narration and local news stories covering the story of an abandoned baby. a really good teen story set in england, which makes a nice change."
"not exactly realistic (about a girl from southport who becomes a rockstar and falls for her bandmate...) but still a great read, and not as cliched as you might imagine."
