What Happens Next

* "Equal parts endearing spunk and heartbreaking vulnerability, Sid Murphy is a character who feels more like family by story's end. The story-and even more importantly, Sid herself-will stay with readers long after the final page is turned. Kudos to Clayton for crafting a powerful, moving debut."—Kirkus (starred review)

"Debut author Clayton doesn't simplify Sid or her emotions... painfully realistic yet hopeful."—PW

"Girls will see themselves or someone they know in this thought-provoking story as it gets passed from friend to friend."—SLJ

"Colleen Clayton's characters stuck with me long after I finished reading this great debut novel."—Lucy Christopher, Printz Honor Winning author of Stolen

"Real teenagers. Real issues. Real writing...Heartbreaking, but still filled with hope and promise, author Colleen Clayton knows that the past can't be rewritten, but you can ruin the future by not learning from it."—Holly Goldberg Sloan, author of I'll Be There

"I haven't been this in love with a set of characters in maybe forever...This book is for every girl who thinks she's got everything under control, for every girl who thinks rape can't happen to her, and for every girl who thinks she knows how she would respond to the worst. May we all have a bit of Sid in us -- smart, strong, spunky, and ultimately aware that we can't do it all on our own."—Jennifer Brown, author of Hate List, Bitter End, and Perfect Escape

"Sad, funny, and true, this book hits all the right notes"—Miranda Kenneally, author of Catching Jordan and Stealing Parker
