"Fans of survival stories will enjoy this one. Based on the true accounts of a group of men and boys who were abandoned on a remote rock of an island off the coast of Scotland while birding, it brings to life the harshness and desolation of this part of the world. Interesting facts about birds and how they formed the basis of the lives of the people who relied on them. Also an enlightening piece on the unfairness of the landowners, people who had little regard for the lives under their care. At times shocking, the story will leave readers wondering how anyone could survive such an ordeal."

"Girl, Unframed is a timely, gripping read that deals with the complexities of female sexuality and societal expectations. Sydney is an engaging narrator whose desire for a successful summer fling is at odds with the unwanted out of town trip to spend the summer with her movie star mother. There, she finds herself caught up in the double standards of male and female behavior exemplified by her mother's most recent abusive boyfriend and the horror titles she used to love. Her retrospective recounting builds suspense as the reader is well aware of *something* coming but has to wait for the reveal. Sydney's questions about parental examples, the shaping of teen's sexuality, and society's expectations are relatable and add to the important topics Caletti discusses. Sure to appeal to readers of A Heart in a Body in the World. An engaging read that will spark important discussions."
