My Friends Recommend: YA Novels
This time I asked my friends to recommend YA books, and I was not disappointed! Here’s what they came up with. Click on any of the covers below to see more.
Melanie Harlow recommends the Luxe Series, by Anna Godbersen. Melanie says, “I still swoon for Henry Schoonmaker.” Book #1 is The Luxe.
And CD Reiss says "Twilight, and ANYONE WHO HAS SHIT TO SAY ABOUT THAT CAN GO POUND A BUCKET OF SPARKLES" Well okay then.
Carrie Ann Ryan recommends If There's No tomorrow by Jennifer L Armentrout. (And did you know that Carrie Ann has a YA fantasy novel out now? From Breath and Ruin. So cool!)
Jana Aston loves Looking For Alaska by John Green (And so do I! That basketball game scene!)
Amy Daws loves Dumplin' by Julie Murphy. And did you see the Netflix movie? Adorable. It made me want to listen to a lot of Dolly Parton.
Tijan loves The DUFF by Kody Keplinger.
Sarah Mayberry recommends Every Breath by Aussie writer Ellie Marney.

Unexpected Love from the New York Times
So this was a strange thing to wake up to. In fact, if I hadn’t broken my own rule and checked Twitter, I might have missed it entirely.
The New York Times reviewed Overnight Sensation. I’m astonished. The article is: Spring’s Best New Romance Novels: Hockey Players, Werewolves, 19th-Century Farmers and More.
They write: “There’s so much more happening in this sprightly book — Heidi’s odd jobs, two entire unrelated scandals, plenty of hockey — that as soon as the momentum flags you’re on to the next play.”
Thanks, guys! I don’t know how I got this nod, or why mine is the only self-published book in that roundup. But thanks for making my Thursday brighter!
