Colin Singleton is a child prodigy, convinced that as he ages, he becomes less remarkable with each passing day.

I really want to see the staged version of Hold Me Closer
4.5 stars (loses half a star because Will 2.0 refuses to use capital letters) Disclaimer! I was given a copy of this through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review.

This book tells the story of two teenage boys, both named Will Grayson. They have alternating points-of-view chapters, one written by […]

If you go into the woods today…
In the little town of Fairfold, people know that faeries are real. You need to be careful and not call too much attention to yourself, like the tourists frequently do, or the faeries may play dangerous or even deadly pranks on you.
