FIND gets a starred review from Library Journal. Hurray!
On FIND ME, Kirkus says “Van den Berg’s writing is curiously beautiful, and her portrayals can also be disarmingly sensitive, as if we might break this girl just by reading about her.”
And over at Book Riot, Rebecca Schinsky has some kind words for FIND ME: “This is one of my favorite novels of 2015, and we’re not even IN 2015 yet…The language is beautiful, spare, and carefully crafted, and the characters are fully realized and unforgettable.”
