“The Wonder of Us is an epic journey of love and friendship, forgiveness and possibility. And hope. So much hope. The novel itself is a beautiful wonder, and I would follow Riya and Abby anywhere.” —Jennifer Niven, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places and Holding Up the Universe

The Possibility of Now: “Culbertson has once again crafted a cast of relatable teen characters and experiences and constructed a story reinforcing the idea that perfect isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Both a cautionary tale against convention as well as an invitation to take uncharacteristic strides forward, this will hit close to home for many teens.” — Booklist

Catch a Falling Star: “Culbertson writes with sensitivity and sympathy, crafting an entertaining but perceptive character study.” —Kirkus

The Liberation of Max McTrue: “Beautifully written, honest, witty, heart-achingly good” —  FRAGMENTS OF LIFE book blog

Instructions for a Broken Heart: “Culbertson balances the story between teen angst and a nice Italian travelogue. The author has a flair for evocative descriptions. . . The major strength here is in the literary quality of the writing, although teens may be more interested in the characters’ relationship.” — Kirkus

Songs for a Teenage Nomad: “Both music and words flow beautifully throughout Songs for a Teenage Nomad. The songs lead the reader into the story linking the past to the present and in so doing, build a fragile connection between a mother and a daughter.” — Mother Daughter Book Club
