BB BOOK CLUB | JUNE'S BOOK IS...
314 pages of cuteness, 14 different popular YA authors tell stories about couple's first meeting. At times romantic and witty, epic and every day, and heartbreaking and real - every romance has to start somewhere.
Readers will experience Nina LaCour's beautifully written piece about two Bay Area girls meeting via a cranky customer service Tweet, Sara Shepard's glossy tale about a magazine intern and a young rock star, Nicola Yoon's imaginative take on break-ups and make-ups, Katie Cotugno's story of two teens hiding out from the police at a house party, and Huntley Fitzpatrick's charming love story that begins over iced teas at a diner. There’s futuristic flirting from Kass Morgan and Katharine McGee, a riveting transgender heroine from Meredith Russo, a subway missed connection moment from Jocelyn Davies, and a girl determined to get out of her small town from Ibi Zoboi. Jennifer Armentrout writes a sweet story about finding love from a missing library book, Emery Lord has a heartwarming and funny tale of two girls stuck in an airport, Dhonielle Clayton takes a thoughtful, speculate approach to pre-destined love, and Julie Murphy dreams up a fun twist on reality dating show contestants.
If you'd like to join us and read along during the month go and pick yourself up a copy whether from your local bookstore or library. This may not be the shortest book but it doesn't mean you have to read the entire thing, pick a story or two that takes your fancy. Do, however, remember to tell us what you thought about them by using the hashtag #bookshelfbookclub and submitting your feedback to the google form here by the 25th June.
Not into the lovey-dovey YA mushiness? Be sure to check back at the end of the month as Anjali's July pick might be more your style!
