Bloomsbury presents Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Julie Rogers and Christopher Ragland.

New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer pens a new emotionally compelling story about two teens struggling in the space between right and wrong.

When his dad is caught embezzling funds from half the town, Rob goes from popular lacrosse player to social pariah. Even worse, his father’s failed suicide attempt leaves Rob and his mother responsible for his care.

Everyone thinks of Maegan as a typical overachiever, but she has a secret of her own after the pressure got to her last year. And when her sister comes home from college pregnant, keeping it from her parents might be more than she can handle.

When Rob and Maegan are paired together for a calculus project, they’re both reluctant to let anyone through the walls they’ve built. But when Maegan learns of Rob’s plan to fix the damage caused by his father, it could ruin more than their fragile new friendship . . .

In her compulsively readable storytelling, Brigid Kemmerer pens another captivating, heartfelt novel that asks the question: Is it okay to do something wrong for the right reasons?©2019 Brigid Kemmerer (P)2019 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Commentaires

Gripping, heartfelt, and layered.
A heartfelt read.
Kemmerer has a knack for combining serious family drama with swoony romance.
Readers looking for a different sort of coming-of-age story or teen protagonists grappling with complex situations will fall in love with this romance-tinged novel.
A must-have for any YA collection. Give to teens who enjoyed A Boy Called It by Dave Pelzer or The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.
Family dysfunction, anxiety, and PTSD from long-term abuse are all believably conveyed. . . A timely, suspenseful, well-written page-turner with compelling main characters.
Readers will find it easy to fall into Rev and Emma’s lives as romance hovers between them and they confront the violence of their past and present.
The characters are well developed and . . . anticipation and curiosity build throughout.
This book is going to fly off the shelves to all teens, but it will hold special interest for those looking for a tear-jerking romance and serious readers of realistic fiction.
A great concept, delivered in a compulsively readable package . . . romance readers will stay up late to finish this very satisfying and heartfelt read.
Explores the ideas of carving identity out of pain and the way perception colors expectations.
Readers will find themselves rooting for the real Declan to win Juliet’s heart the same way his online persona did. Consider this tale of modern star-crossed love as a first purchase for YA collections.

Brigid Kemmerer is one of my favourite YA authors. I binge-read her "Elemental" series a couple of years ago and I know that every single novel of hers is gonna be a page turner. "Call It What You Want," like many of the books I am reading in 2021, had been pending on my TBR for a long time. I had a listen to a sample of the audiobook one day and enjoyed the voices of the two narrators so much that I went for this version instead of the ebook. Go for it as well if you're hesitating between both, it was great! "Call It What You Want" deals with many themes: the fine line between what is right and wrong, friendship and loneliness... to name a few. I thought this book was really good, the writing, the sad and the funny parts too... everything except for the ending. It felt a little too abrupt considering the well developed plot and the touching cast of characters. However, I'd still recommend this book to anyone who enjoys beautifully written coming of age stories.

Another good YA novel
