Dear You, This is gonna be a good month and here’s why. This month’s curator is Val Emmich, author of Dear Evan Hansen: The Novel and The Reminders!

It’s the last cover reveal for the Spring and Summer 2020 season, and we have just the perfect book to close it out! More Than Just a Pretty Face by Syed M. Masood is perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han—it’s a sweetly funny YA rom-com debut about arranged marriage, falling in love,…

If you saw the NOVL livetweet of I Know What You Did Last Summer, you’ll know we had a great time traveling back to the 90’s to experience those very on-trend floral camisoles and some slasher shenanigans. BUT—firstly, did you know the movie is (loosely) based upon a book, and secondly, DID YOU KNOW IT’S…

I grew up in New Delhi in a large family with three sisters and lots of cousins. I also went to a women’s college, which was kind of like an Indian Wellesley or Barnard. Many of the girls I grew up with had arranged marriages and they were not the stereotypical negative experiences you might…

If you’re nervous about starting high school, here are some books that will offer sage wisdom and characters you can commiserate with. Life’s not a musical, but we really ARE all in this together.

Sadboi is defined as a young male who spends most of his time in his feels and often questions what life has in store from them. In other words, it’s…most of my guy friends. The more I talk about it, the more I realize that I might be a sadgirl— but I’m not here for…

I don’t know about you, but I am an audiobook fiend. I love audiobooks! I listen to them while I do chores or on my commute. Honestly, I kind of wish I had gotten into them earlier. My morning drive to and from school could have been so much more productive! Whether you like to…

Dear Universe, I need you to add Florence Gonsalves’s new novel, Dear Universe, to your TBR—stat. The author of Love & Other Carnivorous Plants returns with another book written in her fresh, witty, memorable voice reminiscent to those of my funniest and smartest friends.

I’m so ecstatic to share that the creator, Sarah Watson, has created yet another powerful story about four friends destined for great things—including being the first female president. The cover to her novel, Most Likely, was revealed by our friends at Refinery29 along with an excerpt.

Historical fiction is a genre that’s tough to write because it requires the ability to create a story within another story that’s already been written.
