Together they escape a squad of pigeons, marauding owls and carnivorous bats seeking to return south to the jungle, among other hazards. Along the way, he meets and befriends Marina, a bat of another species, driven out by fear of the band that Humans have placed on her wing. Shade is separated from the others during a storm, and the bulk of the narrative chronicles his attempts to rejoin them.

His obsession, he learns later, was shared by his missing father, who thought Humans would help bats return to the daylight. Although Shade is small for his age, he is curious and a bit obsessive, in some ways a Jonathan Livingston Seagull of the bat community.

Struggling to sort out her growing feelings and Saskia’s confusing signals, Leila confides in her old friend, Lisa, and grows closer to her fellow drama tech-crew members, especially Tomas, whose comments about his own sexuality are frank, funny, wise, and sometimes painful. But when beautiful new girl Saskia shows up, Leila starts to take risks she never thought she would, especially when it looks as if the attraction between them is mutual. As an Iranian American, she’s different enough if word got out that she liked girls, life would be twice as hard. Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is something of a relief.

Now, I’ve seen this a lot in New Adults and contemporaries that feature a famous hero. To add to the “WTF happened last night” and the “OMG I’m going to throw up,” that stranger is David Ferris, the hot, tattooed song-writer and member of the band Stage Dive.Įvelyn, who is a fan of country music, has no idea who David is. This is bound to be disconcerting, but she also happens to be married to that stranger-because Vegas is a place where good decisions are made, people. Scott does a good job of fleshing this fantasy out into a New Adult novel, although the first person perspective left me wondering at what the hero was thinking a good portion of the time and the ending was a little wobbly.Įvelyn Thomas wakes up from her 21 st birthday party in Vegas in bed with a stranger. So yeah, I get the whole popstar/rockstar crush thing. My person crush was on Kevin, the oldest member of the group, who didn’t sing so much as say things like “Baby, I love how you looked in homeroom today” before the beginning of songs, despite the fact that he was, I believe, 30 at the time. I wrote what was, although I didn’t know it, fan fiction in a notebook that, please Jesus, has since been destroyed in the fiery bowels of hell. Now, back when I was a youngster I had posters of the Backstreet Boys lining my bedroom walls. Lick by Kylie Scott is a New Adult for anyone who’s had a crush on a musician. Genre: Contemporary Romance, New Adult, Romance Great pick, I'm a huge fan of Dave Barry!Ĥ. He is so funny and I’ve read his books so many times that I can quote a lot of lines from them. What do you think is the most quotable book you've ever read? I mentioned in my review of This Song Will Save Your Life that there were a huge amount of wonderful lines which I'd have shared with readers, if I could narrow it down and wasn't afraid of spoiling it. I had expected about the level of reader engagement here that I’d gotten for PAST PERFECT, and of course I’d hoped for slightly more (we writers always hope for something more than whatever we’ve achieved before!), but I hadn’t expected anything like this. I’ve heard from many readers who loved and were deeply affected by my previous books, but the Twitter response to THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE has surpassed what I saw for those other books. Where you surprised by just how much people have loved it? I have to say, I don't think I've seen such an overwhelmingly positive response on my Twitter timeline as I have for This Song Will Save Your Life to ANY book, certainly not for a long time. Maybe girls who seem quiet and bookish, but who have a lot going on inside.Ģ. I imagine girls like me, or at least girls like who I was as a teenager.

To highlight that point, most of the people in the narrator's life are offbeat or provisional figures: Reva, her well-meaning but shallow former classmate Trevor, a boyfriend who only pursues her when he’s on the rebound and Dr. Instead, she means to explore whether there are paths to living that don’t involve traditional (and wearying) habits of consumption, production, and relationships. (She quits her job at an art gallery in obnoxious, scatological fashion.) But Moshfegh isn’t interested in grief or mental illness per se. (Her parents are both dead, and they’re much on her mind.) And if she’s not mentally ill, she’s certainly severely maladjusted socially. Moshfegh’s prickly fourth book ( Homesick for Another World, 2017, etc.) is narrated by an unnamed woman who’s decided to spend a year “hibernating.” She has a few conventional grief issues. A young New York woman figures there’s nothing wrong with existence that a fistful of prescriptions and months of napping wouldn’t fix.
