Praise for Seven Days of You: "How hard am I crushing on Seven Days
of You? I'm crying, laughing, aching, and squealing all at once. I
would live in this book if I could."--Becky Albertalli,
award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
Praise for The Summer of Us: "The atmospheric descriptions of the
places they visit (and drink in), such as Amsterdam, Prague, and
Florence, and the nuanced characterizations lend expansiveness to a
plot that might otherwise have become a simple coming-of-age
romance...A transformative odyssey of self-discovery."--Kirkus
Reviews
"Seven Days of You is a deliciously fizzy, neon-bright romance: a
swoony tangle of past and future, love and friendship, and what
exactly it means to be home."--Katie Cotugno, New York Times
bestselling author of 99 Days
"Readers who enjoy art history are in for treat with this book. The
story's setting takes on the part of a sixth character and gives
worn tropes a fresh new spin. Older teens will relate to Rae and
Aubrey as they are likely making some of the same life choices. The
emotions play out perfectly with the backdrop of romantic
monuments, gritty bars, and elegant cafes. Recommended for
realistic fiction -collections."--SLJ
"This dazzling and genuinely romantic story shows just how much
your life can change in the course of a single week."--Jennifer E.
Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First
Sight
"This highly readable novel about finding home and discovering
oneself will have fans of Stephanie Perkins's Anna and the French
Kiss swooning."--SLJ
"Vinesse never lets her story fall into melodrama, relying on solid
character development and conflict...Crisp prose, quick dialogue,
and vivid descriptions of the friends' travels add to the novel's
appeal. YA readers...will enjoy the vicarious view through Aubrey
and Rae's eyes in this engaging romantic novel about the ups and
downs of changing relationships."--Publishers Weekly
"Weaving in and out of Tokyo's karaoke rooms, coffee shops, night
clubs, monuments, and food, food, and more food, the story
delights. Have some tissues handy for the ending."--Kirkus
