"Equal parts humorous and heartwrenching. . . . A powerful, tender reminder of the importance of friendship in times of trauma."
— Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Carpenter's debut is written with a sure hand; her descriptions of anxiety and OCD are spot-on. Hand to fans of John Green immediately."
— Booklist

"This evenly paced book shines a light on the power of friendship and a true friend's ability to hear a cry for help no matter how quiet.... For readers who enjoy realistic, emotional journeys such as John Corey Whaley's books or Nina LaCour's We Are Okay."

— School Library Journal

"A heartfelt, poignant, and candid story about the power-and danger-of magical thinking, and the grounding strength of good friends."

— Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee

"The Edge of Anything is a gorgeously imagined, tender, irresistible examination of shame and the secrets we keep even from ourselves, but more than that, it is a reminder that vulnerability and truth telling are the best paths to healing and triumph. I can't wait for the world to meet Sage and Len!"

— Estelle Laure, author of This Raging

"An unforgettable story about the power of friendship."
— Martha Brockenbrough, author of The Game of Love and Death

"The link between the two units is advocacy, for it is of vital importance to have an advocate in life, whether this person be a family member or friend. This is a dynamic story about the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit."
— School Library Connection
