"PRAISE FOR CATFISHING ON CATNET ""A pure delight...that's as tender and funny as it is gripping and fast-paced. This book is perfect. From the believable teenage voices to the shockingly effective thriller plot, it swings effortlessly from charming humor to visceral terror, grounding it all in beautiful friendships, budding romance, and radical acceptance.""-- The New York Times Book Review ""A first-rate YA novel."" -- Locus Magazine ""Bold and absurd and a whole lot of fun."" -- NPR ""An absolutely charming and incredibly gripping, superbly plotted YA thriller.
