"Written with sparkling humor and cleverness, this book grabs the reader and does not let go, even after it ends. This emotionally charged title is a must-purchase." -- VOYA, starred review "Simonet's plotting is superb, and he sharply writes two unique characters, whose sparring will be as exciting to readers as it is to Jason and Meili. A fresh story, boldly told." -- Booklist , starred review "Simonet holds his cards very close to the vest throughout the narrative, creating Jason as a credible and sympathetic victim of some pretty rough circumstances as well as a righteous defender of endangered women. [A] suspenseful read a psychologically haunting finish." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Instead of delivering a clear-cut moral and tidy resolution, debut author Simonet leaves readers to decide whether Jason's actions are justified and whether he is a criminal, a hero, or a victim." -- Publishers Weekly "A page-turning, mind-twisting adventure that illuminates the complexity of male violence-- Jason's story gripped me by the lapels and refused to let me look away.

" --Dashka Slater, New York Times- bestselling author of The 57 Bus " Wilder is unique, innovative, edgy. A powerful mixture of funny and serious that will jolt you into a deeper understanding of the relentless longing for love that we carry within us." --Francisco Stork, award-winning author of Marcelo in the Real World.
