"What a gift Emery Lord has given us with The Map from Here to
There. Gut-bustingly funny and exquisitely tender, full of
characters to fall in love with and writing that sings out loud,
this is a book about figuring out what the rest of your life is
going to look like. It's a book about learning to be a person in
the world." - Katie Cotugno, New York Times bestselling author of
99 DAYS
"Lord spends time developing her side characters with depth and
maturity, calling out stereotypes and using the characters to
explore less common topics in teen literature. An engaging novel."
- School Library Connection "Engrossing and engaging." - Kirkus
Reviews "Lord hits the agonizing and comforting beats of the end of
high school, capturing the nostalgia of old friendships and hard
choices." - Booklist "A relationship-focused romance with some
solid and authentic dynamics. . . . Relatable." - BCCB "Will
inspire readers to persevere." - SLJ, starred review, on THE START
OF ME AND YOU A well-crafted love story that will melt your heart a
dozen different ways." - USA Today on THE START OF ME AND YOU "Lord
crafts a poignant look at what it's like to deal with love, loss,
and general teendom, then infuses it with sharp wit and pop culture
references." - Entertainment Weekly on THE START OF ME AND YOU "A
natural successor to Sarah Dessen's The Truth about Forever. . . .
Comfortingly familiar, vibrant, and, at times, wrenching, this
belongs on all shelves." - Booklist, starred review, on THE NAMES
THEY GAVE US "This solid coming-of-age story with family drama and
personal growth is a must-have for libraries with Jenny Han and
Jennifer Niven fans." - SLJ on THE NAMES THEY GAVE US "This is more
than a love story. When We Collided carefully yet effortlessly puts
mental illness in conversation with the beauty and struggle of
adolescence." - Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author
of DUMPLIN' on WHEN WE COLLIDED
"Searingly honest, gut-wrenchingly authentic, and deeply romantic,
When We Collided is a gift of a novel." - Jasmine Warga, author of
MY HEART AND OTHER BLACK HOLES on WHEN WE COLLIDED "An absolute
tearjerker romance with a powerful message about weightier topics
of grief and mental illness." - SLJ, starred review, on WHEN WE
COLLIDED "A beautifully wrought portrait of bipolar disorder and
depression. . . . Full, compassionate and achingly vibrant." - USA
