Praise for A.M. Woody
"[A] sharply rendered rom-com . . . Overflows with amusing teenage antics and awkwardness . . . The complexity and subtextual layers with which Woody imbues Emma and Caleb’s relationship keeps a steady and engaging pace throughout." —Publishers Weekly
"Caleb’s sensitivity and Emma’s irascibility are a refreshing reversal of the gender roles common in YA literature. Glimpses into their past are interspersed throughout their alternating POVs, illustrating their complexities. An excellent choice for readers seeking a romance with a wider LGBTQ+ cast." —Booklist
"Caleb and Emma are vividly drawn, each with believable quirks, strengths, and weaknesses. The secondary characters, such as Juliet and Caleb’s mom, are also endearing . . . The dialogue, which includes a healthy dose of swear words and snark, rings true. While Caleb and Emma’s evolving relationship is the star of the show, friendships and familial relationships also play key roles. A funny, heartfelt ride with two lovable leads." —Kirkus Reviews
"The boys’ banter sizzles and delights, but Woody’s true power shows through in the intricately realized characters’ tender depictions of support, kindness, and capacity for change." —Publishers Weekly
