Katie Cotugno recommends

Not the Girls You're Looking For (2018)
Aminah Mae Safi
"Engaging and unexpected, voice-y and full of verve, this a whip-smart swan dive into all the messiness of best friendships and new romance, fitting in and growing up."

The Last Best Story (2018)
Maggie Lehrman
"Smart and bighearted and deliriously fun. The Last Best Story crackles."

The Map from Here to There (2020)
(Start of Me and You, book 2)
Emery Lord
"What a gift Emery Lord has given us with The Map from Here to There. Gut-bustingly funny and exquisitely tender, full of characters to fall in love with and writing that sings out loud, this is a book about figuring out what the rest of your life is going to look like. It's a book about learning to be a person in the world."

Drawn That Way (2021)
Elissa Sussman
"Sharp, surprising, and a little bit sexy, Drawn That Way is a clear-eyed look at a girl with ambition and the subtle, insidious power structures designed to stand in her way. I haven’t read anything else quite like it."

Lies Like Wildfire (2021)
Jennifer Lynn Alvarez
"Twisty and fast-paced and visceral. I couldn’t put this one down."

Ride With Me (2022)
Lucy Keating
"A warm hug of a book, a joy-filled, windows-down road trip through the wilds of art and friendship and growing up."
