Happy Happy Book Birthday to the rad Sarah Nicole Smetana, whose debut is out in the world today! Also, I'm reading it and it's PHENOMENAL. You should stop by Sarah's website to spy all the cool talk and a round up of the insane media coverage this amazing book has been getting. I read one of these posts at Germ Magazine and it's fascinating (also she was electrocuted)! This voice-driven coming-of-age YA novel is perfect for fans of Katie Cotugno and Playlist for the Dead. Susannah Hayes has never been in the spotlight, but she dreams of following her father[...]
