'It’s a very bittersweet story and it’s also one of the few books that made me cry so much I had to stop for a moment and wipe away the tears at 4am. […] This has become one of my favourite books and every time I think about it, my heart smiles.' thegalwholivesofbooks
'[Webber] has a real talent for creating nuanced teenage characters' The Bookseller
'Another author with a talent for connecting with teenage readers is Katherine Webber. Japanese-American Reiko navigates love and grief amid the claustrophobia of family expectations and peer pressure in Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Walker, £7.99), set in the California desert. It’s familiar emotional territory for contemporary young adult fiction but Webber’s complex, nuanced protagonist feels real and is memorable.' The Observer
