—Kirkus
"Carve out some time to read this series starter - it's that hard to put down."
—RT Book Reviews
"This first in a series combines an intriguing mystery with a terrific cast of characters. Fans of Nancy Pickard or Lisa Unger will find much to like in Kessler. Expect her to become very popular very quickly."
—Booklist (starred review)
"Kate Kessler's writing is impossible to put down. I devoured It Takes One and couldn't wait to read the sequel. If you love characters that are misfits, and outsiders, have a penchant for bad boys, and want a mystery that keeps you guessing, this is the series for you."

Just the right amount of suspense and love. I enjoyed the well built characters and small town feel. The authenticity of flawed characters and unrequited love. While it’s not a feel good story, you did feel for all of them. It’s a good introduction to the author, and I’ll search out more of her books.

Excellent summer listen!
