On the day of its highly anticipated release, Dawnie Walton’s debut novel THE FINAL REVIVAL OF OPAL & NEV has gained another starred review, this time from Library Journal. They write: "The characters seem so real that readers will find themselves searching the internet, hoping to find that Opal and Nev are actual people." Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly raves that the book “bursts with fourth wall breaks and clear-eyed takes on race, sex, and creativity that Walton unfurls in urgent, endlessly readable style.” 37 Ink published the novel on March 30, 2021.
