Praise for Run Away with Me : * "Brimming with electric-feeling affection and longing as well as musings on 'stories . secrets . histories,' it's an intricately woven Roman holiday: Danny marvels at 'my life reflected back through the prism of Angelo,' and readers will too." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review * "The characters are quirky, imaginative, and enigmatic; their curiosity and desire are as infectious as Roman fever." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Selznick meticulously weaves in cultural elements of the city, ancient and recent history, and mystery with the ease of a seasoned professional, pulling together a tale not just of young love but of old romances, the power of a good story, and the lasting impact of what we leave behind." -- Booklist , starred review * "A mesmerizing ode to poetry, art, and love that stands the test of time, Selznick's first title for young adults is recommended for all collections." -- School Library Journal , starred review * "In sensitively written first-person past tense (with occasional yearning passages told from a years-later perspective), Selznick builds thematic layer upon layer through poetic language, references to real-world art, and detailed imagery." -- The Horn Book , starred review * "This illustrated novel is pure romance, skipping the mundanity or compromises that befall most long-term daily relationships and instead diving into all of the passion, infatuation, and fervent dedication of a dwindling summer (the chapter headings even count down the remaining days) in a glorious city for two beautiful boys wildly in love.
