"Blending personal stakes with historical detail, this novel highlights and the risks--and resilience--behind reinvention. Fans of Elizabeth Camden will be delighted."
~Booklist, Starred Review
"The plot in The Manhattan Confessions was surprisingly intricate, with several different threads of danger and mystery Ivy and her friends have to untangle to discover the truth and keep themselves safe. I think I fell in love with Jocelyn Green’s writing on the spot when she rejected a trendy, romance-heavy plot and chose instead to allow the love between Ivy and Tom to grow naturally and completely unforced. It was by far my favorite love story in a long time."
