Rachels writing has been described as better than Judy Blumes: her ability to create an authentic adolescent world complete with the emotions and priorities is second to none. Review "Vail shows a clear understanding of the everyday turmoil faced by todays teens and handles them with wit and obvious affection. If they havent already read its predecessor, Lucky (2008), teens will want to after finishing this one. " -- Kirkus Reviews "A solid, realistic account of a girls beginning to find her own identity." -- Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books Praise for Lucky: "This is superior for its realism, its moderation, and its understated complexity of characters and relationships. Readers will drink up the drama and impatiently await the planned follow up titles." -- Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books (starred review) "Vail (You, Maybe) again demonstrates a penetrating insight into the concerns of young teen girls, this time upending the conventions of the rich-girl novel... Readers will absorb this in one fell swoop." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Kindness and understanding emerge in unexpected, fresh, and satisfying ways, and readers will be looking forward to finding out what lies ahead for the Avery family" -- School Library Journal Review Quote "Vail (You, Maybe) again demonstrates a penetrating insight into the concerns of young teen girls, this time upending the conventions of the richgirl novel… Readers will absorb this in one fell swoop."
