Praise for A Pretty Implausible Premise: "Told in literary and lyrical prose, this stunning contemporary coming-of-age novel rings romantically and nostalgically true. Contemporary readers will enjoy the snug-fitting references to Taylor Swift and (less obviously) John and Hank Green that give the novel a real world feel without inducing a cringe or a real threat of datedness, even for future readers. Heartfelt and cerebral enough to be cognitively delicious but not elitist, the prose and characterization make the overall result feel like a warm, glowing sunset." -- Booklist, starred review "Rivers organically pulls off the improbable premise of love conquering all; lightly speculative elements, smart attention to each minute detail, and Hattie and Presley's convincing character arcs proffer an at once melancholy and joyful romance." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Rivers explores trauma with sensitivity: Readers see the wide range of emotions and coping mechanisms that can come into play." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for You Are the Everything : "This is good choice for those who enjoyed E. Lockhart's We Were Liars or books with pieces that only fit together after a surprising ending. Fans of unreliable narrators and twist endings will clamor for this story of romance and survival.
