"[Caitlin] sets an excellent example as someone who follows her dreams, despite other people's opinions." -- KLIATT "Realistic and thoughtful." -- Kirkus Reviews "Flinn turns a fine eye on the seemingly never-ending mother-daughter dance, in which someone is always out of step. A fast read, but there's meat here, too." -- Booklist
