Some Coolish Updates

A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL comes out in just a little over a month. I honestly can't believe it. It seems like a million years ago (last January) that I announced the deal and did a little dance. But now... it's almost here! Yay! Have you preordered it yet? It might be kinda cool if you did....

Anyway, the reviews are just starting to come in, and I'm super excited to say that BOOKLIST gave it a STARRED REVIEW!!! *dies. *revives

Here's a quick peek:

"A clever and well-written fantasy. Whether Charlotte is an angel or a being less freighted by religious tradition is left up to the reader, but the dilemma of how we can make a lasting impression is a very human concern. Young offers an elegant solution that is well worth consideration."
— BOOKLIST (STARRED REVIEW)


Kirkus had some kind things to say as well:

"A gripping supernatural romance… An imaginative twist on the timeless battle between dark and light. " --Kirkus

And then today, I ventured out into the day in search of a magazine--Girls' Life (GL) Magazine to be exact. The June/July issue is finally out and A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL is included on their Beach Blanket Book Club!! (Hope you don't mind sand in your tears).



So it has been a pretty cool last couple of weeks. I also sold a new book series (details on my books page) and FINALLY caught up on the laundry.

Feel free to grab the A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL countdown widget from the sidebar or embed the awesome book trailer that VLC Productions put together on your own blog!

Have a fantastic week!!!
