Reviews
"A searing and raw exploration of guilt and grieving, family and forgiveness, This unforgettable, slow-burning debut builds toward a stunning conclusion. Lyrical and evocative, Ezell's is a powerful new voice in contemporary YA literature." --Elle Cosimano, award-winning author of Nearly Gone and Holding Smoke "Devastatingly beautiful and masterfully woven, Nothing Left to Burn explores the compromises we make for love, and the strength it takes to speak difficult truths. Ezell's stunning, electric prose had my heart racing--and aching--up until the very end." --Emily Martin, author of The Year We Fell Apart "All-consuming first love, raging flames of a deadly wildfire, and a shocking revelation of an ending--a remarkable, absolutely original debut." -- Jennifer Longo, author of Six Feet Over It and Up to This Pointe "As intense and consuming as its fiery setting, Nothing Left to Burn is nothing less than a fierce, explosive debut." -- Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of Firsts, "Unfolding over the course of a single day, the narrative manages to mix the ticking-clock tension of the approaching, unforgivable fire with flashbacks that pull back the curtain on a mystery without slowing the pace...a gripping novel about finding out who you are under the worst circumstances, and still maintaining hope that your new sense of self will carry you through to better times." -- Booklist "[An] entertaining story of love, loss, and hope." - Kirkus Reviews "Perfectly paced....Readers of mysteries, of love stories, of stories about loss and grief, and of stories about finding strength will all enjoy this explosive story." -- VOYA "A searing and raw exploration of guilt and grieving, family and forgiveness, This unforgettable, slow-burning debut builds toward a stunning conclusion.
