This is more than a love story. When We Collided carefully yet effortlessly puts mental illness in conversation with the beauty and struggle of adolescence. It is a book I wish could have written, but am so much better for having read * Julie Murphy, bestselling author of Dumplin on WHEN WE COLLIDED *
A five-star must-read romance * USA Today on WHEN WE COLLIDED *
A beautiful, emotional read * Maximum Pop on WHEN WE COLLIDED *
Searingly honest, gut-wrenchingly authentic, and deeply romantic, When We Collided is a gift of a novel. It tackles tough topics with nuance, and will make readers both laugh and cry, sometimes within the span of a page * Jasmine Warga, author of My Heart and Other Black Holes, on WHEN WE COLLIDED *
In sharp contrast to darker, more issue-driven YA books, this title keeps truer to the problems that most teens face. The protagonists upbeat attitude will inspire readers to persevere even during the low points in life * Starred review, School Library Journal on THE START OF ME AND YOU *
Lord offers a sweet story of love and loss. The author is gentle with Paige as she struggles to redefine herself both in school and at home, as well as figure out who understands her best as she stumbles toward new romance * Publishers Weekly on THE START OF ME AND YOU *
