Praise for Summer in the City of Roses
“Michelle Ruiz Keil has crafted an absolute stunner of a novel full of myths and misfits. Summer in the City of Roses pulses with magic and music and is, at its core, a grand celebration of love in all its tricky and beautiful forms.”
—SAMANTHA MABRY, AUTHOR OF TIGERS, NOT DAUGHTERS
“Summer in the City of Roses is riveting, singular, poetic, powerful, fierce, soft, heartbreaking, and heart-mending, as tender as velvet and sharp as the bloody antler underneath. Michelle Ruiz Keil is the Erin Morgenstern of YA.”
—DELILAH DAWSON, AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER STAR WARS: PHASMA
“Grab this book and your tarot deck, head to Forest Park, and fall into a folkloric, feminist journey through the City of Roses.”
—ARIEL KUSBY, AUTHOR OF THE LITTLE WITCH’S BOOK OF SPELLS
“Rich with references to such diverse subjects as Shakespeare, punk music, Greek mythology and Mexican culture, Summer in the City of Roses is a smart page-turner written with elegance and depth. Keep your eyes open. In this particular City of Roses, things aren’t exactly as they seem—in surprising and wondrous ways.”
—GIGI LITTLE, POWELL’S BOOKS
“This enchanting book—like the real-life magical city where it’s set—will draw you in and transform you into a more alive and creative version of yourself. A captivating work of magical realism that will delight both YA and adult readers. Michelle Ruiz Keil writes like a dream.”
—ARIEL GORE, AUTHOR OF WE WERE WITCHES
