From Booklist:

Teen ice-queen Isabel is shocked when former rock-god Cole turns up in Los Angeles saying he is drug-free and there for her. He is also producing his next album and starring in a popular reality show, notorious for pushing its rehabbed stars back over the edge. Two secondary characters from the Shiver series take turns narrating this sweet and sexy love story set in an L.A. faintly reminiscent of Francesca Lia Block’s Weetzie Bat books. The characterizations of Isabel and Cole are so solid that it seems Stiefvater is transcribing them rather than creating them, and minor characters are just as deftly (if not as deeply) drawn. Despite this, there are stereotypes aplenty when it comes to the reality show and references to Cole’s former life, but they work well enough to shorthand the background info and keep the focus on the two lovers. Bits of backstory are provided, and after a slightly confusing start, this one could stand on its own. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Stiefvater has conquered both critical and commercial mountains, and the YA world watches everything she does. Buy more than a few. Grades 9-12. --Cindy Welch
