9780385731454 Anyone But You, hardcover trade, Random House (young adult) 9780385901772 Anyone But You, hardcover library, Random House (young adult) A Teen People Top 10 Pick 'Pitch-perfect narration.' Kirkus Reviews 'Zeises examines the volatile nature of relationships within the family, providing a fresh perspective in part because of the unconventional nature of this family's structure. Allowing Critter and Seattle each to serve as narrators also adds complexity to the story and to its telling. The main characters are fully fleshed and exhibit many of the ambivalent emotions typical of adolescents struggling with school and love and class and family... Mature readers ... will come away with the understanding that there is, indeed, hope as they continue to struggle to make their family ties strong.'
