John Corey Whaley recommends
Dark Room Etiquette (2022)
Robin Roe
"With Dark Room Etiquette, Robin Roe has surely cemented herself as one of the most compelling and honest YA writers of our time. Through searing and haunting prose, this exploration of trauma, identity, and resiliency will take your breath away - but not your light."
The First Thing About You (2022)
Chaz Hayden
"The First Thing About You is a stellar debut about what does--and doesn't--define us. It's about being seen, and truly seeing; an entertaining and moving love note to the search for one's place in the world. On top of all that, Chaz Hayden writes with the humor and heart of a seasoned storyteller. An instant favorite."
Bones of a Saint (2021)
Grant Farley
"Bones of a Saint reads like a dream--I found myself muttering the word 'wow' over and over as I read. My favorite stories are coming-of-age ones that find a new way into the teenage struggle, a new lens through which to view the fight for one's innocence against the adult world's corruption and chaos. Bones of a Saint is exactly that, but there's something else--a grittiness and an honesty that earns the reader's trust from page one. It's like nothing I've read in years."
