This Is Not a Dead Girl Story

Praise

“[A compelling story]…Full of intrigue and small-town politics, the book holds up a mirror to the realities many girls face in relationships with boys and men. A perfect choice for fans of Meredith Adamo’s Not Like Other Girls (2024) and Sarah Everett’s How to Live without You (2022).”–Booklist

Praise for This One’s for You:
*”A beautifully written story about grief, love, and not just discovering who you are but finding the courage to declare, “This is who I am!” before the world . . . This is a must-read for music fans and romantics who believe in destiny but know fate alone can’t hold up a relationship—even true love needs you to put in the work.” —Booklist (starred review)

“Amplifying raw emotion through imagery-rich prose, Sweeney explores mental health and the transition to adulthood…[and] captures the sensory immersion of musical performance…via lyrical alternating perspectives.” —Publishers Weekly

Praise for Catch the Light:
“Beautifully captured, like a photograph of a stolen moment. I ached for Marigold in her journey to move forward while not forgetting her past. Kate Sweeney’s Catch the Light overflows with grief, love, and growing up.” –Amy Spalding, bestselling author of We Used to Be Friends

*“Catch the Light is an affecting and affirming case for the painful, transformative inevitability of hope in the face of heartache.” —BookPage (starred review)
