Dark Room Etiquette (2022)
Robin Roe
"I absolutely loved DARK ROOM ETIQUETTE. What a surprising, gripping, jolt-of-adrenaline novel Robin Roe has crafted! DARK ROOM ETIQUETTE is guaranteed to keep you awake at night, and not just because of suspense--you will not be able to stop reading it. What Robin Roe has done with the story of Sayers Wayte is refreshing and remarkable: We get to see the true evolution of his character through iterations that are at times repulsive, heroic, and yet inescapably human. This is quite honestly the best Young Adult fiction I have read in a very long time. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!"

This Boy (2020)
