Misa Sugiura

eBook, ePUB

Love & Other Natural Disasters (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This delightfully disastrous queer YA rom-com is a
perfect read for fans of Jenny Han, Morgan Matson, and Sandhya Menon.

When Nozomi Nagai pictured the ideal summer romance, a fake
one wasn't what she had in mind.

That was before she met the perfect girl. Willow is
gorgeous, glamorous, and...heartbroken? And when she enlists Nozomi to pose as
her new girlfriend to make her ex jealous, Nozomi is a willing volunteer.

Because Nozomi has a master plan of her own: one to show
Willow she's better than a stand-in, and turn their fauxmance into something
real. But as the lies pile up, it's not long before Nozomi's schemes take a
turn toward disaster...and maybe a chance at love she didn't plan
for.

Rezensionen

"Delightfully romantic and hugely refreshing! I loved every page!" - Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Dumplin'

"A laugh-out-loud, tender, and wholly satisfying read." - Kirkus Reviews

"Sugiura expertly details an intricate web of relationships with exquisite precision and wonderfully cringey moments to explore the joys, frustrations, and conundrums of love." - David Yoon, New York Times bestselling author of Frankly in Love

"An adorable rom-com." - School Library Journal

Praise for This Time Will Be Different: "Sugiura tackles an abundance of topics with

finesse, including social and economic injustice, allyship, and feminism, simultaneously breaking down the Asian-American immigration narrative and the myth of the model minority. Essential." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Fresh, vibrant, affecting and powerful." - New York Times Book Review

"A gripping, emotionally charged story that presents a window into a uniquely Japanese American experience." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"With intelligent dialogue surrounding diversity, representation and responsible social action, This Time Will Be Different is a timely, smart novel that readers of contemporary teen fiction will likely devour." - Shelf Awareness

"Sugiura deftly weaves historical fact into this coming-of-age narrative, providing an entertaining and informative backdrop that allows CJ to explore her own sense of identity while giving readers a front seat to her process." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for It's Not Like It's a Secret: "The graceful complexity of this first-person narrative is an accomplishment in itself. Sana is a fully realized protagonist with faults and unacknowledged privilege alongside her nuanced experience of identity and "model minority" racism. Sugiura thoughtfully explores intersecting issues of race, immigrant-family relationships, queer romance, and, less explicitly, class dynamics without implying the significance of one over the others. Well-paced, brimming with drama, and utterly vital." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"An essential and delightful choice that realistically celebrates a teen's discovery of trust in herself and in others." - School Library Journal
