E Lockhart

(Emily Lockhart)

E. Lockhart is the author of a number of teen novels. She has had nine official boyfriends, if you count the boy who asked her to go with him at a 7th grade dance and then basically never talked to her again. She has never been on a sports team of any kind and got excused from gym class by going to ballet lessons. She has a tattoo, cuts her own hair, and has worn the same perfume since high school (Kiehl's Chinese Flowers). In her office are two Betty & Veronica dolls, a photo of a particularly fat bull dog, an official business card from Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective, and the 1920s flapper dress she wore to the prom.

E Lockhart recommends

My Ex-Husband's Ex-Husband (2025)
Rachel Cohn and Melissa De La Cruz
"Like a vacation with your manically funny, always tipsy train-wreck friend, My Ex-Husband's Ex-Husband capers through Vienna on a high of pastries, cocktails, banter, and long-held grudges. Two of my favorite authors."

When We Were Monsters (2025)
Jennifer Niven
"Niven's signature ingredients: deep sensitivity, romance, poetry, and misunderstood, passionate characters. Now add a gothic mansion, a dangerous cliffside and a charismatic genius, and she's serving up a standout dark academia thriller."

What Happened to Lucy Vale (2025)
Lauren Oliver
"A brutally funny satire with a dark mystery nestled in its core. A Lauren Oliver novel is always a page-turner, but this one is uniquely ambitious, complex and comic."

After Life (2024)
Gayle Forman
"Forman is a master at making her readers fall in love - with a girl whose life is over, with a community of people in a small town who are barely surviving her loss, and with the incredible, surprising way everyone's stories knit together into a heartbreaking and hopeful whole."

The Liars Society (2024)
(Liars Society, book 1)
Alyson Gerber
"Part sports adventure, part prep-school secret society puzzle mystery, The Liars Society is all action and adrenaline. Surprising and absorbing."

The Blood Years (2023)
Elana K Arnold
"Once you meet Reike, you won't ever forget her. Elana K. Arnold entwines history irresistibly with fiction to tell a story of great magnitude and emotional impact, centered on the bravery of a Jewish teenager in Nazi-occupied Romania and on universally human questions of romantic love, moral compromise and family loyalty."

A Little Like Waking (2023)
Adam Rex
"Romantic and constantly surprising, mixing small-town charm with surreal fantasy, A Little Like Waking is a brilliant love letter to the magic of the human mind."

The Lake House (2023)
Sarah Beth Durst
"Formidably scary, Durst's survival/horror story is the stuff of late-night campfire legends. With three deftly drawn, powerful girls at the center, reading felt like I had found a crew of clever, loyal best friends, even as I stayed up long into the night, trembling with dread."

The Chandler Legacies (2022)
Abdi Nazemian
"Nazemian writes from the fascinating perspective of being both insider and outsider to elite boarding school culture, and the novel pops with startling, painful details of hazing rituals and abuses of power. His world is inclusive but also brutal, celebratory and still interrogatory. Readers will want to debate this one long into the night."

The Girl Least Likely (2021)
Katy Loutzenhiser
"A rom-com with six extra helpings of riotous comedy, The Girl Least Likely has so many laughs your actual day will be brighter for reading it."

Take Me With You (2020)
Tara Altebrando
"I raced through this supper-addictive, nuanced, puzzle of a book in a weekend. It's no ordinary thriller: repeatedly surprising and genuinely chilling."

Little White Lies (2018)
(Debutantes , book 1)
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
"A comedy of manners and a blackmail thriller tied together in a perfect silk bow."

Providence (2018)
Caroline Kepnes
"An artist, a mutated vigilante, a charming hunter, a sickly detective, and a literary lunatic: Caroline Kepnes brings them together in this propulsive and original story. It kept me up at night, scared and thinking."

Truly Devious (2018)
(Truly Devious, book 1)
Maureen Johnson
"Maureen Johnson has a totally original mind, a passionate set of moral convictions, an extraordinary sense of bravery and ridiculousness, and she writes pretty sentences. Read whatever she writes."

All the Dirty Parts (2017)
Daniel Handler
"I loved ALL THE DIRTY PARTS. Super dirty! And great for arguing about. True and complicated, funny and voicey."

My Sister Rosa (2016)
Justine Larbalestier
"Larbalestier at her tricky, terrifying best."

Bone Gap (2015)
Laura Ruby
"Bone Gap marks Laura Ruby as one of fiction's most original voices. This book is magic realism at its most magical."

September Girls (2013)
Bennett Madison
"Eerie and desperately romantic."

The Miles Between (2009)
Mary E Pearson
"A wild ride and a stunning book."

The Sweet Life of Stella Madison (2009)
Lara M Zeises
"Stella Madison's summer of food and love is a great read full of broken hearts, broken promises, and broken eggs. A must for anyone who eats."
