"Dunnion paints a brutal urban reality that mocks the saccharine sweetness of many teen novels. Back alley fixes, weblog rants and honest friendships blend together to create a tender, original and powerful read. Teens will devour it, parents will fear it and smart booksellers will stock it."

"Mosh Pit is a delightful slap in the face of your grade 11 reading list. It's Sweet Valley High if the twins were working-class high school dropouts who joined an army of punk rock sex workers, drag queens and underage alcoholics. Mosh Pit is addictive, seductive, fast-paced and, ultimately, a sweet coming-of-age story for people who hate sweet coming-of-age stories."

"Young Toronto author Kristyn Dunnion describes herself as a 'saucy tart' but she's also a seriously good prose stylist. Her second YA title is funny, outrageous, taut, and at times lyrical. The language is realistically explicit … The teen underworld Dunnion so convincingly creates may traumatize some adult readers, as S.E. Hinton did a generation ago."
