Zac & Mia
by A.J. Betts
REVIEWS...
"While comparisons to John Green's The Fault in Our Stars are inevitable, Zac & Mia holds its own as a smart, well-crafted story about the importance of friendship and feeling understood." --School Library Journal (starred review)
"Betts portrays cancer as hard, scary, and isolating, but beatable — or at least bearable — if one isn't facing it alone." --Publishers Weekly
"Above average in this burgeoning subgenre; it’s the healing powers of friendship, love and family that make this funny-yet-philosophical tale of brutal teen illness stand out."
--Kirkus
"There's complexity in their sometimes thorny relationship that makes this compelling as more than just a romance, but their connection is ultimately satisfyingly heartfelt. Hand this to readers looking for a love story with shadows but not inevitable doom." --Bulletin
