"Ms. [Rowe] is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors in this genre, and I won’t hesitate to recommend her to teens. I’d compare her style to that of Meg Cabot, and I see a bright future for her voice in the genre of teen romantic comedies… For fans of teen romances, STUDYING BOYS is a must-read." ~Romance Reader at Heart

"Nerds can have fun and be cool too. This book will give every shy, brainy girl a ray of hope and a few laughs. Its innocent sensuality almost reminds you of "Dirty Dancing", whose heroine has the same name as the star of this book. If you liked Putting Boys on the Ledge, you'll like this one twice as much." ~Huntress Reviews

"A very girl-empowering addition to the teen fiction genre, that will hold a special place in the hearts of female readers the world over." ~Community Bugle Newspaper
