This book had me crying by page 1. Actually, I cried reading EVERY PAGE. Damnit, Daisy Whitney. I have to be honest, I could not get into THE MOCKINGBIRDS. The voice didn't grab me, I wasn't in lo... " Read more of this review » |

This is a book that checks all the boxes. It's funny AND heart wrenching. It's familiar AND different. It's smart AND relatable. It's literary AND commercial. Then to top it all off, this novel has voice. It's not just the MC Danny--but all of the...

I am so very thankful that Zoe at Little, Brown brought a copy of this to NCTE for me. It's absolutely fantastic. I'll write a longer review closer to the release date which is in June.

“I don't need to be any place else, because the music takes me to the only place I want to be right now. To the place where I am and have always been wholly me, the only church I've ever belonged to, the only place I've ever prayed.”
― Daisy Whitney, The Mockingbirds
― Daisy Whitney, The Mockingbirds
“[Referring to rape] It already is bigger than everything else. It lives in front of me, behind me, next to me, inside me every single day. My schedule is dictated by it, my habits by it, my music by it.”
― Daisy Whitney, The Mockingbirds

“We are what we love. We are the things, the people, the ideas we spend our days with. They center us, they drive us, they define us to our very core.
Without them, we are empty.”

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”

150 pages into Beautiful Creatures and loving it! I am glad I got it! Thanks for the recomendation!!!!
Hey Daisy. I just finished Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac. Have given it a small review. Wasn't quite as good as I thought it would be but you might like it more. Definitely doesn't come close to Twenty Boy Summer.
Thank you for adding me as a friend. I recently joined goodreads and the YA book group. I love this website. I can get so much more information on my favorite authors upcoming books and I love talking about the books I'm reading so it's great to connect with other people who do as well.
