Anyone know anything about ROXY, the forthcoming book by Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman? The cover copy gives me bad vibes, but perhaps I'm missing something? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56980350-roxy

Bc I adored the tv show, I read Alice Oseman's 4 volumes of HEARTSTOPPER. I think the show is better, but the graphic novels are charming. Worried about how they'll handle the vol 4 Charlie arc. Those kind of plots can inspire copycat behavior in teens. https://t.co/T2OV0B5g5g

It's Novella Week over at my blog. Today I'm reviewing LOCAL STAR by Aimee and @IntFlightPress. A polyamorous queer space adventure about a framed military captain, a guttergirl with commitment issues, and her stubborn ex. https://bookjockeyalex.com/2021/06/21/review-local-star-by-aimee-ogden https://t.co/e8tSNFsqVI

I listened to LOVE & OTHER DISASTERS by Anita Kelly narrated by Lindsey Dorcus and SAVVY SHELDON FEELS GOOD AS HELL by Taj McCoy narrated by Adenrele Ojo. Narrators were great, thought the stories themselves were fine https://t.co/0LU1zcRDVN and https://t.co/XyWcLNPmsD

No review can do a book like this justice. How do I feel about this new novella? I feel like running up to random people in the street and shaking them. I want to buy dozens of copies to throw at strangers like that Melissa McCartney gif.
