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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DUMPLIN' and SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY 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
A five-star must-read romance for older teens (and up) that will challenge readers toward a better understanding of a too-often marginalized and stigmatized segment of the population, When We Collided is an important book not only for this generation of teens, but those who've come before . . . and those who will come after. * USA Today on WHEN WE COLLIDED *
An absolute tearjerker romance with a powerful message about weightier topics of grief and mental illness. -- starred review * School Library Journal 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 protagonist's 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 *
This is the teen world as it should be, full of good times and good friends to temper life's inevitable sorrows, big and small. Fans of Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti will want to add Emery Lord to their summer reading list. * BCCB 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 *
Reads like an ode to unconditional love that will keep readers firmly believing in believing. * Booklist on OPEN ROAD SUMMER *
