Darkhearts (2023)
James L Sutter
"Darkhearts is a delightful, boy-centric YA that doesn't shy away from Romance with a capital R. Chance is a soulful, ethereal mystery to the reader, and David a down-to-earth, weighty mystery to himself, but wherever your tastes lie, you'll find it in Darkhearts. Sutter has created a world that will feel starkly familiar to teens, layered with exploration and an unflinchingly real glimpse into the sometimes elusive world of the teen boy. Top everything off with an insta-fave quirky best friend, and a setting steeped with musicians' culture-Sutter is an author to watch."

Girl on the Run (2020)
(Underlined Paperbacks)
Abigail Johnson
"A tense, fast read . . . Abigail has created a twisting, complex path through a room full of mousetraps and every time I thought maybe Katelyn was finally going to get through it, another one went SNAP!"

The Fall of Grace (2018)
Amy Fellner Dominy
"The Fall of Grace is heart-rending and real; readers will laugh and weep as they follow Grace's journey of anger, guilt, betrayal, love, and the different layers of forgiveness. The emotional turmoil is almost abrasively raw, and yet so believable. In a culture of call-outs and finger pointing, this is a book for anyone who has stood accused."
