Veronica Roth

(b.1988)

Veronica Roth is from a Chicago suburb. She studied creative writing at Northwestern University, and wrote DIVERGENT, her YA dystopian thriller (Katherine Tegen Books, May 2011!), while she was supposed to be doing homework. This was a decidedly good choice that will unfortunately make it difficult for her to someday lecture her future children on how important it is to get your homework done.

Veronica Roth recommends

Throwback (2023)
Maurene Goo
"With all the humor and heart that are Maurene Goo's specialty, Throwback is the fresh, funny, yet profoundly thoughtful time travel story you didn't know you needed - but trust me, you definitely do. An absolutely delightful book."

Upgrade (2022)
Blake Crouch
"Blake Crouch doesn't pull any punches in this taut and evocative examination of what humanity really is - and how it fails us. A hugely entertaining and emotionally resonant thriller that you'll be thinking about long after you turn the last page."

Fresh (2021)
Margot Wood
"Fresh is a book I wish had existed when I was a teenager: frank, laugh-out-loud funny, and a refreshing (pun intentional) peek behind the intimidating curtain that separates high school and college. The best part? Our intrepid narrator, Elliot McHugh: messy, imperfect, sincere, hilarious, and warm—a character you will miss long after the book is over."

Victories Greater Than Death (2021)
(Unstoppable, book 1)
Charlie Jane Anders
"A story of enduring friendship, fighting for what's right, and the complications of claiming destiny-- an effervescent, fast-paced journey through the stars."

The Left-Handed Booksellers of London (2020)
(Left-Handed Booksellers of London, book 1)
Garth Nix
"A warm, whimsical delight—The Left-Handed Booksellers of London is a witty, clever adventure in an exquisitely detailed world you will love escaping into."

Ruse (2019)
(Want, book 2)
Cindy Pon
"Fresh, compelling-and timely."
