Three starred reviews and several glowing endorsements from today’s top YA authors!

“A tautly written, fast-moving novel… that captures the unbalanced experience of an all-consuming love.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

 

"The rich language describing the way the two love each other is magnificent... A beautiful, emotionally charged novel." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

 

"All of Woodfolk’s choices—every line break, indentation, and italicization... Even the blank space on the page helps to carry this piece to its full potential as a feverishly gripping, immersive, and emotional ride that will stick with readers for a long time... A masterfully crafted love letter to tumultuous, young, queer love and its lessons." —School Library Journal (starred review)

 

"Unapologetically shows the more challenging elements of falling—and staying—in love… This book has completely transformed the way I think about what it means to love unconditionally." Nic Stone, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Odd One Out

 

"Nothing Burns as Bright as You is a beautiful exploration of first love with the emotional resonance that only an Ashley Woodfolk novel can bring. Exquisite from beginning to end." Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give
