Patty Blount wrote her debut novel, Send (a 2012 YALSA Quick Pick), after her son was bullied and her third novel, Some Boys (a 2015 RITA Award finalist), after seeing rape survivors blamed for the crimes committed against them. She lives on Long Island, New York, with her husband and sons. Visit pattyblount.com.
I would definitely recommend Nothing Left to Burn to fans of YA contemporary romance. It is extremely emotional and a tough read but I think anyone would like it. I look forward to reading more by Patty Blount in the future. - My Expanding Bookshelf
