review 1: A disturbing and uncomfortable book about two mentally ill teenaged neighbours who strike up a friendship of sorts through their adjacent bedroom windows. Original and brutal in its portrayal of self harm, this novel is sabotaged by an unsatisfactory ending. Perhaps we are meant to take hope from it, but after 200 odd pages being repelled by the two protagonists, I didn't feel any joy or relief. CBCA short listed - older readers 2013
review 2: I was asked to read this book as one of the librarians was unsure if it was suitable for our school library, she thought it too crude. Whilst it was crude, it was also exceptionally well written and what she found to be 'crude' I found to be hilarious. Just a difference of opinion I suppose. I would recommend this book to
... more teenagers, probably no younger than 16 however, especially those who feel as though they don't quite 'fit in'. less

Amazingly confronting. You just can't help feeling love, hate and empathy for Creepy and Maud.

Freaking brilliant. Way better than the other YA I've read this year.
