<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hey, everyone, I'm so happy to recommend Laura Silverman's latest book, <i>Recommended for You</i>, which is a contemporary holiday season romance. That's everything we need after this roller coaster of a year. I'm also excited to have Laura Silverman on the blog to talk about other YA books.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><u>The Interview</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Laura, it's so lovely to have you on Awkwordly Emma again. Since I asked fairly standard questions when I interviewed you in 2017 for the release of GIRL OUT OF WATER, I thought I'd structure the questions around a theme this time. :)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Emma: When you give your friends book recommendations, do you try to suit their tastes or primarily share books you've loved? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura: A little bit of both! I think for my friends who read less often, I definitely think more carefully about what might appeal to them. But I love recommending books tailored for their tastes and also just being really enthusiastic about any great book I’ve read!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Emma: What would be on your dream winter break or summer vacation TBR list? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura: This might sound a little strange, but I often love reading darker and more twisted books in the summer. There’s something really nice about reading a scary book out in the bright sun! And I love reading romcoms as it gets colder outside to brighten up the drearier days! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Emma: What book makes you feel the same way your favorite Jewish foods do? (And feel free to wax poetic about food, too.) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura: Oooh, Jewish foods feel like a giant, warm, comforting hug. Some titles that pop to mind are <i>Eliza and Her Monsters</i>, <i>The Upside of Unrequited</i>, and <i>This Is How We Fly</i>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Emma: A teen comes into Once Upon looking for some books that are like a recent hit TV show. What books would Shoshanna recommend to them? (You pick the show!) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura: Let’s see, if they came in looking for books like <i>Love, Simon</i>, I’d recommend <i>You Should See Me in a Crown</i> and <i>Late to the Party</i>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Emma: Enemies-to-lovers or friends-to-lovers? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura: I</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> really love both! I feel like RFY has a little bit of enemies to friends to lovers happening. I’m 100% down for both tropes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Emma: Obviously you can't leave without giving my readers some recs. What YA have you read and loved recently? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura: I’ve already mentioned some in this post! Let’s see <i>This is How We Fly, You Should See Me in a Crown, Today Tonight Tomorrow</i>, and <i>Late to the Party</i>. I’ve also been reading some adult fiction over quarantine and recently loved <i>The Vanishing Half</i> and <i>One to Watch</i>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura: Thank you for your wonderful questions! This was such a fun idea ☺ </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before meets You’ve Got Mail in this charming and hilarious rom-com following two teen booksellers whose rivalry is taken to the next level as they compete for the top bookseller bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shoshanna Greenberg loves working at Once Upon, her favorite local bookstore. And with her moms fighting at home and her beloved car teetering on the brink of death, the store has become a welcome escape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When her boss announces a holiday bonus to the person who sells the most books, Shoshanna sees an opportunity to at least fix her car, if none of her other problems. The only person standing in her way? New hire Jake Kaplan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jake is an affront to everything Shoshanna stands for. He doesn’t even read! But somehow his sales start to rival hers. Jake may be cute (really cute), and he may be an eligible Jewish single (hard to find south of Atlanta), but he’s also the enemy, and Shoshanna is ready to take him down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But as the competition intensifies, Jake and Shoshanna grow closer and realize they might be more on the same page than either expects…</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ordinarily, I hate walking into B&N and seeing a separate section for YA romance because there is no clear delineation to what they think is romance and what isn't. Case in point: I once saw The Raven Cycle books shelved as romance when clearly they should be in B&N's adventure section (which is another weird categorization, but whatever). But I will allow that there are some YA books that focus primarily on romance, and so that is what I am recommending today.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I contemplated a couple ways to make this list. A bunch of the authors I've surely read the most books by are the ones of my childhood who wrote super long series (or had them ghostwritten; looking at you, Ann M. Martin). And I thought that might be kind of boring? But Goodreads also removed the most read authors feature, which... BOOOOOOO. That made my job 200 times harder. So I've assembled a list of authors I'm pretty sure I've read a lot of books by. This will be a mix of childhood authors and more recent reads.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Keep My Heart in San Francisco by Amelia Diane Coombs</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Grade: C-</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Release date: July 14, 2020</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><i>An e-galley was provided by Simon & Schuster via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Summary: </b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Caroline “Chuck” Wilson has big plans for spring break—hit up estate sales to score vintage fashion finds and tour the fashion school she dreams of attending. But her dad wrecks those plans when he asks her to spend vacation working the counter at Bigmouth’s Bowl, her family’s failing bowling alley. Making things astronomically worse, Chuck finds out her dad is way behind on back rent—meaning they might be losing Bigmouth’s, the only thing keeping Chuck’s family in San Francisco.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">And the one person other than Chuck who wants to do anything about it? Beckett Porter, her annoyingly attractive ex-best friend.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">So when Beckett propositions Chuck with a plan to make serious cash infiltrating the Bay Area action bowling scene, she accepts. But she can’t shake the nagging feeling that she’s acting irrational—too much like her mother for comfort. Plus, despite her best efforts to keep things strictly business, Beckett’s charm is winning her back over...in ways that go beyond friendship.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">If Chuck fails, Bigmouth’s Bowl and their San Francisco legacy are gone forever. But if she succeeds, she might just get everything she ever wanted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: merriweather, georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: </b>This book seemed like it would be perfect for me. It's contemporary YA, and it has a great pitch (a bowling alley? a setting other than Los Angeles or New York? former friends reforming their relationship?). But something didn't work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">There were just so many communication problems. Chuck's dad isn't telling her anything about their problems at Bigmouth's Bowl; she's not telling him how she's trying to save it. I also really couldn't get behind two teenagers running around and illegally gambling on bowling games.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I was also a bit bored by the lack of characters. The story is mainly just Chuck and Beckett, and I think Chuck really needed at least one more friend, just for some variety. I also felt <i>Keep My Heart in San Francisco</i> followed the same trite pattern of a parent with mental illness and their child being afraid of following in their footsteps. There was too much stigma around mental illness (specifically bipolar disorder and depression).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Content warnings: bipolar disorder, suicide, foul language, underage drinking and gambling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>The Verdict: </b>I felt very let-down by this book.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Loverfest has been cancelled for this summer, though I was not planning to go. The only two U.S. locations she was playing were much too far away. However, if I could customize a Loverfest setlist, I think this is what it would look like. (There are a few songs I think Taylor would include that I didn't, and I doubt she'd actually do a setlist quite this long. But a girl can dream.)</span></div>
