A starred review in Publishers Weekly!

I was thrilled – thrilled, I tell ya – to hear the news that THE MOCKINGBIRDS had received a starred review in Publisher's Weekly! Here's what the esteemed book trade publication had to say about my novel: "First-time author Whitney boldly addresses date rape, vigilantism, and academic politics in an intense and timely novel, set at the elite Themis Academy…Besides showing skill in executing suspense and drama, Whitney masterfully evokes the complexity of her protagonist's emotions, particularly her intense longing to feel "normal" again."

Not too shabby, eh?

Here's the full review. (Scroll to the bottom of the page.) Plus you can ogle that little red star too. I know I am.
