"If Becky wasn't a gay teenage boy with good grammar and a foul mouth in several past lives, then she's absolutely one of the most observant writers in the YA game. New Review (June 2017): Just finished my third or fourth reread of SIMON VS., this time on audio which is narrated by the amazing Michael Crouch, and wow, I love this book more each time. I'm 27 right now and SIMON remains the book I wish I had 10 years ago."

Inspired by the real-life Louise de Bettignies (aka Alice DuBois, aka Lili), this novel fictionalizes one of the women behind this famous titular group of spies in German-occupied Europe during the first World War, and brings her back to post-World War II France in search of one missing person, as well as resolutions to questions unanswered for nearly 30 years.

The tagline for Liv Constantine's psychological thriller "The Last Mrs. Parrish" is, "Some women get everything. Some women get everything they deserve." This is the story of Amber, who comes from poverty, and her decision to change all that by stealing the handsome Jackson Parrish away from Daphne, the gorgeous woman who seems to have it all. You can read more about this debut collaborative novel in my review here.
