PRAISE FOR
Dear Universe
“Cham is engaging, and her life feels real.… A novel with an appealing protagonist that reflects life’s messiness.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Gonsalves… crafts an authentic read for teens trying to create normalcy at school while struggling with issues in their personal lives.”
—Publishers Weekly

PRAISE FOR
Love & Other Carnivorous Plants
A Booklist Editors’ Choice: Books for Youth A Rainbow List Selection
“A pitch-perfect take on what happens when the future you imagined doesn’t live up to expectations.… This genuinely funny novel about some harrowing topics manages to balance humor and pathos perfectly. Readers who connected with J.J. Johnson’s Believarexic or Sam J. Miller’s The Art of Starving will want this book, as well as the many John Green fans who crave intelligent stories that occupy both shadow and light.”
—Booklist, starred review
“Fans of Sarah Dessen will appreciate Danny’s relatable and realistic journey. A must-have sharp, powerful, and witty immersion into the complexities of sexual identity and mental health.”
