* “Ami Polonsky has crafted a beautiful story which speaks of courage, family, love, anger, discrimination, ignorance, and hope. The narrative is lyrical and heartfelt, and young people will be inspired to see Iris transcend her grief, use her voice, and find a way to make a difference.” – The Horn Book, starred review * “This is the best kind of family story, filled with love and, yes, loss, but most importantly with caring. * "Foregrounding believable, dynamic characters both the cost of inaction and fear around the HIV/AIDS crisis, and the power of activism to bring change and build community."- Publishers Weekly, starred review * “The book shows a girl focusing her rage and pain into love… Simultaneously sad and life affirming a poetry-filled, inspiring call to activism.”- Kirkus, Starred Review
