- About Lisa Burstein
"Disturbing and Beautiful...Get ready to be more than entertained. Get ready to be changed."- Katie Kacvinsky, Author of First Comes Love

"Raw, uncompromising...Draws the reader in with taut storytelling and complex, original characters." - Holly Goldberg Sloan, Author of I'll Be There
"An honest, raw, sexy night of self discovery. I loved Joe and Amy's story!" - Nyrae Dawn, Bestelling author of Charade

“Sharp, heartfelt and sexy with characters so well-developed and nuanced that they feel completely real.” – Daisy Whitney, author of The Mockingbirds and When You Were Here

"A Really enjoyable and touching read that taps into heartfelt emotions about making choices between past and present."- Lauren Blakely, NY Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Caught Up In Us
"If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong or didn’t know what you wanted to do with your life, then Pretty Amy is a must-read for you."— Girl's Life Magazine

"Pretty Amy will resonate with any teen considering or already on the wrong path. Burstein paints a bleak picture of teenage politics and one girl's search to fit in and be loved."- San Francisco Book Review

“A coming-of-age story without the comfort of padding…a relatable and compelling character [with] a lot of wonderful snark.” —New York Journal of Books

“A candid story that serves as a cautionary reminder against the power of peer pressure without reading like an “I told you so” lecture from an adult. Teens will be drawn in and relate to Amy’s innermost thoughts. A satisfying read”- School Library Journal

"Burstein writes this teenage misfit coming-of-age tale like she’s currently living the nightmare of it, with a strong, assured hand and a sharp tongue. Amy has an authentic, raw teen voice, the sort that is as prematurely cynical and world-weary as Holden Caulfield."- Alice Marvels
