"This is a captivating tale that addresses a lot of contemporary issues in a sensitive and thought-provoking way." -- Nicki J Markus, author, "Day-Walker & Time Keepers" "A searing and tender portrait of the complexities of high school friendships, dating and privilege. Canary is a testament to the power of the hard-won truths." -- Daisy Whitney, author, "The Mockingbirds" & "When You Were Here" "Rachele Alpine's Canary sings the truth about what happens when we put our high school heroes on a pedestal and give them the power to act like villains." -- Erin Jade Lange, author, "Butter" "The subtle way Rachele Alpine addresses love, loss, popularity, and friendship makes this book a realistic and arresting read. For anyone who ever struggled with frenemies and fitting in, Canary is an important addition to contemporary YA discussions." -- Jennifer Brown, author, "Hate List" "Alpine's Canary is a deeply-felt, poignant account of someone trying to find strength in a world that has hurled its worst at her. Alpine has created a compelling narrator in Kate and the challenges she must face are both realistic and heartbreaking." -- Colleen Clayton, author, "What Happens Next" "I also admire how the subtexts of family, of privilege and how it is exploited, of bullying, and the sexual vulnerability of many girls are presented... It is a powerful story that evokes intense emotions... Grab a copy of Canary." -- Jhobell Kristyl, "Book Maven" "Sometimes I feel like I need a lot of words to describe a story and convince people to read it. This time I'm not going to. Canary is so much better than that. I need not convince you anymore." -- Open Book Society "The subtle way Rachele Alpine addresses love, loss, popularity, and friendship makes this book a realistic and arresting read. For anyone who ever struggled with frenemies and fitting in, Canary is an important addition to contemporary YA discussions." --Jennifer Brown, author, Hate List
