Wintersong
Fans of atmospheric historical fantasy audiobooks may enjoy, but this is an additional purchase for most libraries.
Optimists Die First
Fans of moving, emotionally intense novels, such as the works of Sarah Dessen or Jennifer Niven's All the Bright Places, will enjoy this recording. ["Perhaps the novel's greatest strength is its handling of the characters' very real burdens with sympathy, wit, and not an ounce of melodrama. Nielsen excels at depicting troubled, clever teenagers in familiar environments": SLJ 11/16 starred review of the Wendy Lamb book.]
Our Chemical Hearts
Give this to fans of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower or Ingrid Sundberg's All We Left Behind. ["Delves far deeper than the typical high school romance, [with its] savvy wordplay and Henry's self-deprecating charm": SLJ 8/16 review of the Putnam book.]
The Lovely Reckless
With its realistic portrait of high school life in poverty-stricken neighborhoods, this audiobook would work for urban audiences as well as those who like drama-filled romance. ["High stakes, suspenseful romance. The drama-filled love story, though not the healthiest example for impressionable teens, will keep them turning pages": SLJ 9/16 review of the Macmillan book.]
What Light
Fans of Sarah Dessen, Stephanie Perkins, and Jenny Han as well as those looking for a cozy wintertime love story will enjoy this audiobook.
Truthwitch
The first in a projected four-book series, this will certainly appeal to high fantasy readers. Give this to fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and "The Kiss of Deception" series by Mary E. Pearson, as well as to listeners who like strong female characters in fast-paced, action-packed story lines. ["A great choice for fans of fantasy adventure and strong female characters": SLJ 11/15 review of the Tor Teen book.]
Darkness Fair
Much of this sequel is built on what happened in the previous book, so it is a better purchase for those who already have Darkness Brutal on their shelves.
Never Always Sometimes
Fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins will enjoy this audiobook. ["This fun romp will appeal to students looking to push beyond the edges of their own comfort zones": SLJ 7/15 review of the Harlequin Teen book.]
