Ashley Woodfolk recommends

Ariel Crashes a Train (2024)
Olivia A Cole
"A gorgeously kind, wonderfully gentle, and unfailingly compassionate depiction of OCD...bursting with light."

All the Fighting Parts (2023)
Hannah V Sawyerr
"The sharp shift in tone and structure instantly divides Amina's story into a stark before and after in the same way an assault can divide a life. But she, like most courageous victims, refuses to let divide define her. A heroic and candid debut."

There Goes the Neighborhood (2023)
Jade Adia
"A charming and beautiful ode to found family, nerdy Black girls, and urban communities everywhere surviving and thriving despite it all."

Some Mistakes Were Made (2022)
Kristin Dwyer
"SOME MISTAKES WERE MADE is a gorgeous meditation on shattered dreams and making amends, found family and loyalty and what it means to sacrifice for the people we love most. Dwyer's debut is brimming with hope and love amidst angst, longing, heartache, and the bittersweetness of growing up. It is tender and romantic, vulnerable and sincere, but it is never ever cheesy. I was rooting for Easton and Ellis from the very first page."

In the Key of Us (2022)
Mariama J Lockington
"In the Key of Us gives voice to the rich inner lives of Black kids and celebrates their loves while holding space for their losses in equal measure. It is a joyous celebration of music and art, loneliness and togetherness, and what it means to grow up and find peace in the world and within yourself. A charming, life-affirming, queer band camp novel I never knew I needed. I'm thrilled that the world has it now."

Rise to the Sun (2021)
Leah Johnson
"Rise to the Sun is a novel that will show Black girls just how brightly they can shine, and that love, like music, is a True Thing."

Some Other Now (2021)
Sarah Everett
"Everett's writing packs a punch that will hit readers right in the feels. Whether you're sixteen or sixty, you'll fall in love with Luke, Ro, and Jessi's story and you'll keep coming back for more."

Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf (2020)
Hayley Krischer
"Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf deftly examines the elaborate complexity of high school friendships, and confronts every possible shade of gray. A timely and intimate discussion of rape culture, the power of shared stories, the courage it takes to find your voice."

Grown (2020)
Tiffany D Jackson
"Grown is equal parts riveting and alarming. It asks hard questions about power, innocence, and who we, as a society, see as worth saving. A captivating and cautionary page-turner."

Now That I've Found You (2020)
Kristina Forest
"This glowing blend of romance, mystery, and New York City warmed my heart and made me laugh outloud."
