Praise for FIRSTS AND LASTS:
"Each story flows nicely into the next, almost like new friends swapping storiesAlongside each milestone’s potential universality, each short story revels in specificity to create glimpses of fully realized characters. The entries that are rooted in trauma or sadness, especially, demonstrate the fictional adolescents’ incredible resilience and maturity as they process these novel experiences. Beautifully sentimental and utterly relatable."—Kirkus Reviews
"Perfectly balanced anthology that embraces diversity across the board…The strength of the whole lies in compelling juxtapositions. Give this to readers with an eclectic taste or those looking for something outside their usual choices, as they will surely find it here."—BCCB
