Rezensionen

"What would you tell your teen self if you could go back in time? Underhill's tender, innovative debut is the smartest take on this trope I've ever read. . . and for the record, I read it in a single sitting. A beautiful, thoughtful study of how we find our truest selves, and whom we choose to trust with that gift." - Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"The In-Between Bookstore is a charming and thoroughly modern take on the question of the road not taken that both challenges our assumptions about small-town prejudice and suggests that maybe you can go home again." - Gayle Forman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay and After

Life

"Underhill skillfully employs a clever set-up and a queer lens to explore the deep changes we all experience in growing up and the kindness and forgiveness we owe our younger selves. Truly lovely."
- Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Celebrants and The Guncle

"Underhill's stunning and bittersweet portrayal of the twisty, messy paths we take to adulthood, and the people and selves we lose and find along the way, proves that sometimes the greatest love stories are found in learning to love yourself." - Emma R. Alban, USA Today bestselling author of Don't Want You Like a Best Friend

"Tender, emotionally charged. . . sure to be a hit with fans of The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. While this novel sets out to answer a central question-where am I supposed to go from here?-ultimately, the answer is that we make our own meaning in the places and people that feel like home to us." - Booklist (starred review)

"Tender. . . Underhill lands the speculative elements with precision. Grown-up fans of YA fiction will appreciate this bittersweet tale." - Publishers Weekly
