Let It Snow
Three Holiday Romances
"Three top authors of teen fiction join forces for a collection of linked novellas set in the same small town in North Carolina on Christmas Eve. During the worst blizzard in 50 years, a packed train gets stuck in the snow, and teens from the train…- "Based on the premises that "love is tied to truth" and "being friends, that's just something you are," this powerful, thought-provoking, funny, moving, and unique plot is irresistible. Told in alternating chapters from each Will Grayson's point of…
- "Wonky, offbeat, and happily anachronistic—the references run the gamut from Shakespeare to Monty Python, with plenty of nods to The Princess Bride—this fantasy adventure politely tips its hat to history before joyfully punting it out of the way. An…
- "After I finished this book, I sat there for a moment thinking, What am I supposed to do now? No book will ever beat this wonderful story. ... I loved both David Levithan's and Rachel Cohn's writing style and I felt they shaped the writing so it fit…
- "A thriller told from the perspective of three narrators: a woman, her ex-husband, and his fiance. The storyline is intricate and nonlinear and the characters are likable, but unreliable. This one will keep you guessing." LibraryReads
- "The German occupation of the Channel Islands, recalled in letters between a London reporter and an eccentric gaggle of Guernsey islanders. This debut by an "aunt-niece" authorial team presents itself as cozy fiction about comfortably quirky people…

- "First love between golden boy Asher and intriguing new girl Lily ends with one teen dead and the other under suspicion of murder. This stellar collaboration is more layered, surprising, and emotional than any story has a right to be- and readers…
- "In this collection of interlinked shorts, the YA-author supergroup of Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Ashley Woodfolk, Angie Thomas, and Nicola Yoon takes the concept of a New York City–wide blackout and lights it up with six…
- "Fashion bloggers Cocks and Morgan (Spoiled, 2011, etc.) debunk the princess fantasy in a fictional tell-all inspired by the courtship of Kate Middleton and Prince William. ... Pages of biting humor and breathtaking glamour rewrite a fairy tale into…
- "In 1840s Ireland, heartstruck thief Liam O'Connor lures away lovely Cora from her intended, Finn, so angels send him to small-town contemporary America to right this wrong. He must convince today's Cora, a police detective, to marry a lawyer she…
- "Clark uses the main characters of her thriller I’ve Got You Under My Skin for this engaging collaboration with Burke (If You Were Here ). The novel launches a series centered on Under Suspicion, a TV show that purports to re-enact (and often solve)…
- "Clara and Madeleine are summoned to their ailing grandmother’s estate in winter 1937 to hear a startling request: she wants the sisters to take a trip to Europe together. ... Charming historical fiction." Booklist

- "This is thrilling and philosophical military science fiction, in which vampires become saviors and aliens become allies. It will appeal to fans looking for a more fantastic take on what Star Trek could have become." Library Journal
