“极富时代感的文字，流行文化元素的加入，使这本书捕获了千千万万青少年读者的心。而书中对犯罪，性爱，和死亡的描写却是如此的坦诚甚至随意，丝毫没有说教的成分和居高临下的姿态。的确是一部极为杰出的处女作。”

“这本书给人以启示……洋溢着对现实的不敬和反抗，尖锐却又清新脱俗……思想深刻，发人深省，写作技巧也相当的高明，读完之后，几个星期都难以忘怀……是一本令人难忘的小说。”——早饭前七件不可能的事情（博客）

“非常动人……白血病癌症晚期的少女不是一个很好写的主题，但本书却采用了一个温馨而积极向上的视角，以敏感细腻的笔触娓娓道来，给读者带来了愉悦的感受。”
——《出版界新闻》 
“开篇二十几页就涉及嗑药以及随意发生性关系，这在青少年小说中是很少见的。另外，大多数的青少年小说往往会让成人读者潸然泪下，不忍面对*后的结局。杰妮·唐纳姆的处女作将以上两点都实现了。”——《星期日泰晤士报》
