Now in paperback! Two shattered hearts are about to collide in smalltown Louisiana.

Two shattered hearts are about to collide in this achingly poignant young adult novel. Monroe and Nathan are two lost souls each struggling with grief and guilt from a mistake that changed their lives - looking for acceptance, so they can find forgiveness.

For Monroe Blackwell, one small mistake has torn her family apart-leaving her empty and broken. There's a hole in her heart that nothing can fill. That no one can fill. And a summer in Louisiana with her grandma isn't going to change that...

Nathan Everets knows heartache firsthand when a car accident leaves his best friend in a coma. And it's all his fault. He should be the one lying in the hospital. The one who will never play guitar again. He doesn't deserve forgiveness, and a court-appointed job at the Blackwell B&B isn't going to change that... There's No Going Back

Captivating and hopeful, this achingly poignant novel brings together two lost souls struggling with grief and guilt-looking for acceptance, so they can find forgiveness.

When she's not singing with her band, she's thrilled to be writing young adult as well as adult contemporary romance, and does so from her home somewhere in Canada. Visit julianastone.com.

Reviews for Boys Like You

"""""The tension between remorse and a desire for closure successfully propels the narrative... the intensity of the couple's sexual relationship and the dramatic experiences they have faced will attract teens."""" - Booklist ""The story handles challenging subjects like sex, drunk driving, and faith after tragedy in a sensitive and age-appropriate way without veering into melodrama...just what readers need. "" - School Library Journal ""Fans of the romance genre will enjoy the classic miscommunications, the emotional pushing and pulling, the ""will she?"" and ""won't he?"" of the destined-to-be-in-love."" - VOYA Magazine """"Boys Like You"" is such a sweet and moving story of hope, self-forgiveness, and stepping out of the dark. A fantastic YA debut!"" - Once Upon a Bookcase ""Juliana Stone pulls the reader into a heartbreaking storyline about two teens who have had to experience loss and the startling realization that one mistake can snowball with fatal results. BOYS LIKE YOU is a story that is emotional in its' presentation, traumatic in its' content, and passionate in its' ideals"" - The Reading Cafe ""Oh the swoons, there are great romance scenes with some heavy kisses. Loved it!.... As an adult reader I appreciated the nostalgia of young love, sneaking out at night, hot summers, and the adventure of discovering someone new for the first time."" - Becoming Books "" A contemporary romance-with-a-conscience...Stone writes it with confidence and style"" - Kirkus """"Boys Like You"" is an achingly raw book. Nate and Monroe are both in a great deal of emotional pain...they come off the page as real, living, breathing teens dealing with impossible circumstances. I was glued to my Kindle until I finished. This book will appeal to fans of John Green, and any reader who enjoys realistic fiction with emotional depth. "" - Sunk Treasure"
