“Rivers’s writing is achingly,hilariously perceptive ... I look forward to seeing what Karen Rivers does with the rest of her planned XYZ trilogy ... “

Praise for Karen Rivers’ Haley Andromeda Trilogy:

 

The Healing Time of Hickeys

“This book will have you laughing out loud. Haley is a completely loveable and crazy character. Her quirky thoughts are fun to read and her adventures in dating (or lack of) will have you giggling until your sides ache. It’s guaranteed to make you giggle and feel good — what more could you want in a book?” — Kidzworld

 

“Sixteen-year-old Haley Harmony is ... a likeable, grounded soul, despite the fact that she spends an awful lot of time hyperventilating ... A pleasure from start to finish.” — Quill

& Quire

 

The Cure for Crushes

“I can’t help it. I’m a sucker for Bridget Jones and I’m a sucker for Karen Rivers’s ongoing series based on the star-crossed life of Haley Harmony. We first met the unfortunately named Harmony (hippie parents, home-schooled, deck stacked against her socially) in The Healing Time of Hickeys. It’s refreshing that Haley, told through v. funny diary entries, is not entirely likeable; nor are her friends endlessly patient. And without her brother’s shoulder to lean on, Haley finds herself alone more this time than last, wondering, like all of us, if she really is capable of happiness and how to make the good hair days outnumber the bad.” — The Georgia Straight

 

“We’ve all had our fair share of red-faced moments, and that’s why it’s so easy to relate to the accident-prone Haley. Her quirky accidents and comical thoughts are the best part of the book cuz they’ll make you laugh until your stomach hurts!” — Kidzworld

 

The Quirky Girls’ Guide to Rest Stops and Road Trips

“Fans of the Haley [Andromeda] books (The Healing Time of Hickeys and The Cure for Crushes) will definitely enjoy the conclusion of the trilogy. Yes, it’s chick lit, lite chick lit (is that chick lite???), but it’s fun, perfect for a quick read over the holidays, maybe even on a road trip! Buy it for your young Haley wanna-bes, and make sure that you have the two preceding volumes for those who like to read a complete series.” — Joanne Peters, CM Magazine

 

“Teen readers will find Haley’s diary filled with countless moments of recognition as Rivers, with spot-on accuracy, captures contemporary teen life.” — Quill & Quire
