Editorial Review

"Stinson does a superb job in allowing readers to observe a wide range of feelings as experienced through her characters....The consistency in Stinson's writing makes readers feel a part of the neighbourhood rather than outside observers. The dynamics of friendships and their complexities are a dominant feature. Stinson shows how everyone can experience feelings of jealousy and animosity towards others, but she shows how things can get resolved."
