Today I woke up to 2 more 5-Star reviews of Burn Baby Burn Baby. The first, on Amazon, was titled as follows:

This book belongs alongside Laurie Halse Anderson's TWISTED and John Green's LOOKING FOR ALASKA

I mean, Looking for Alaska! How do I even deal with that!!?? My favourite Green, and one of my favourite reads of the last few years.

Kevin Craig has written a gripping, heart-wrenching yet hopeful story. BURN BABY, BURN BABY is a novel about poverty, abuse, bullying, self-esteem, sexuality, friendship and loyalty, and personal growth. It’s got it all! I know...not an easy thing to pull off. But Kevin Craig does it seemingly effortlessly, in a story that will hook you right from the very first page. His characters are complex and flawed, relatable, and authentic, and while Craig tackles some very weighty issues, he does so with grace, intelligence and sensitivity.

The second review was just as amazing...and from a fellow AW member...which THRILLS me. (-:

I keep getting punched in the feels in the most spectacular way. And I honestly believed this book would NEVER EVER be published.

HALF DEAD & FULLY BROKEN TOO!

Along with the amazing reviews for Burn Baby Burn Baby, the reviews for the newly released novel HALF DEAD & FULLY BROKEN are coming in now...and they too are phenomenal. And I don't even know if I can deal with this.

Today, this came:

The depth of emotion that is covered between these three is brilliant to read.

If you are looking for a Young Adult story that deals with emotional issues, with a dash of the paranormal, then I can highly recommend this book.

These from a review in my blog review tour set up by my publisher. Here's the full review:

Thanks muchly, all!

I received a new review last night that mentioned Burn Baby would make an awesome movie. Almost every single review is mentioning this fact. But that sort of thing doesn't happen to me. (-: But it's amazing and wonderful to hear all the reviews. My one goal is to write stuff that punches people in the feels. Judging by the reviews, I'm reaching my goal. That's all I want. (-: I'm delirious. One spectacular review after another. I don't think I can ask for more...even if it is to ask for movie rights. (-;

Thank you!
