Furious

“The authenticity of the characters’ emotions and the sweetness of their romance will surely capture many hearts […] A high-speed queer romance.” –Kirkus Reviews”[A] whirlwind romance based on understanding and empathy. This fast-paced read by Pacton and Podos, told via the teens’ alternating perspectives, perceptively balances grief and levity in the form of an easy-to-root-for romance.”–Publishers Weekly “Complete with street racing and a car heist, it is a worthy homage to Letty Ortiz–the girls’ mutual crush. […] Teens who like fast cars and simmering romance will appreciate this perfect beach read or road trip sidekick.” –Booklist

“Furious is a beautiful sapphic love letter to wild girls who yearn for what they’ve lost, only to discover the missing pieces in each other.” –Roselle Lim, author of Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune and Night for Day

“When it’s not snort-out-loud funny, it’s I’m-not-crying-you’re-crying poignant, and El and Jojo are both fully realized characters from the beginning–complex, and completely loveable. And the kissing scenes … look, just read it. Thank me later.” –Maxine Kaplan, author of The Accidental Bad Girl and Wench
