PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Gabrielle Zevin is the author of the number one bestseller Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, plus award-winning books for young adults including her debut novel Elsewhere. In 2021, Elsewhere became one of TIME magazine's 100 Best YA Books of All Time. Of her writing, the New York Times Book Review said, 'Zevin's touch is marvelously light even as she considers profundities.' A dog lover and Harvard graduate, she lives in Los Angeles.
Essentially a love story, it is also an exploration of teenage identity, handled with such a skilful blend of wit, intelligence and tenderness that readers will lose themselves in the story and find themselves in the process * Daily Telegraph * Zevin is completely convincing on the intensity of early passion and the way it can evaporate in the ray of something new, and she has a light touch with the deceptively shallow anguish of adolescence * New York Times Book Review * A compelling read with intelligent dialogue that’s also touching and funny * School Library Journal * Pose[s] intriguing questions about identity and connection -- Imogen Russell Williams * Guardian *
