"An exquisitely crafted YA tale about the prescribed bounds of femininity by Anna-Marie McLemore. Flawless Girls splits storied notions of proper femininity--and gender itself--apart at the seams in an exemplary portrait of learning to express oneself. McLemore's signature prose both cuts like ice and rolls languidly off the tongue." -- Shelf Awareness , starred review on Flawless Girls "Enemies-to-lovers romances rarely offer this much emotional depth, and fans of the trope will find a lot to love about this coauthored romantic YA fantasy." -- Booklist , starred review on Venom & Vow "McLemore cleverly and subtly weaves in imagery from the source material while crafting a unique look at queer relations in 1920s New York, and lush prose skillfully depicts the characters' yearning for freedom and acceptance. This is a compelling reimagining, and a stunner in its own right." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review on Self-Made Boys "Compelling and satisfying for Gatsby fans, critics, and neophytes alike, avoiding and subverting tropes and giving the main quartet the happy endings they deserve. In this absolutely stunning work, McLemore delivers their signature lyrical prose and rich symbolism.
