teens Love THINGS CHANGE

"I just wanted to tell you just how much I loved your book Things Change.

It made me laugh, it made me cry, and most importantly it made me think."

—Sarah, agefifteen, Connecticut

"I loved Johanna in all of her nerdy glory before she met Paul. You actually captured an insecure teenage girl very well, and since I highly doubt you've ever been an insecure teenage girl, I was really surprised because Johanna could be someone at my school."

—Amber, age sixteen, Pennsylvania

"I'm a person who hates to read. I've only read about five books in the past eight years. When I saw this book, I read the cover and decided that this would be a book I would buy. I started reading, and I couldn't put it down . . . I stayed up until three in the morning just to finish it!"

—Jen, age fourteen, New York

"I just finished reading Things Change and I believe this may be one of the truest fiction novels I have ever read. My ex-boyfriend was abusive and, like Paul, always promised to stop. I enjoyed this book, and it will sit on my shelf forever."

—Hannah, age sixteen, Nebraska

"I just got out of a bad relationship where some of the things my boyfriend said to me were exactly like Paul. About five days ago, my best friends gave me the book Things Change. I hate reading. It just doesn't interest me. But I finished it in three days. I want to read it again so badly, but the way I have been talking about it, all my friends want to read it. So I'm passing it on."

—Kaylee, age thirteen, New Jersey
