Apr 2 I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST by Mason Deaver

Mason Deaver’s I Wish You All the Best was my favorite YA read of 2019 and the coming of age story I wish I’d had to give to my non-binary teen when they were in high school. The protagonist, Ben De Backer, is a queer, non-binary teen who’s finding their way after a gutting rejection by their parents in the book’s early pages. While I was in tears within the first few pages, ultimately, Ben’s story is one of resilience and hope.

She Read

This was a slumpbuster of a book that left me wondering why Romantic Suspense doesn’t feature more prominently in my reading.
