Parker, acclaimed author of THE GIRL WHO FELL and THE RATTLED BONES "Morris finalist Thomas' poetic, figurative language beautifully defines each narrator. A fantastic novel that will be especially resonant for readers who struggle with being or feeling outside of 'normal.'" - Booklist, starred review, on NOWHERE NEAR YOU "This brilliant follow-up to a clever and unexpected novel does exactly what it should in keeping the same epistolary format but taking these two unforgettable characters way out of their comfort zones and toward lives that are lived rather than waited out, and the result is powerful stuff indeed." - BCCB, starred review, on NOWHERE NEAR YOU "The pacing is impeccable, as letters move from sunniness (Oliver) and bemused distance (Moritz) to both writers exploring their darkest fears, experiences, and worries for their futures." - BCCB, starred review, on BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME "A witty, unusual take on friendship and parlaying weakness into power." - Kirkus Reviews on BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME, "Fiercely feminist and gorgeously inclusive, Wild and Crooked effortlessly compels the reader to explore what it means to discover the beautiful truth of who you are, and how to fight for the truth of those you love." - Shannon M.
