*A REESE'S YA BOOK CLUB PICK*

"Irreverent, intelligent and smart, Dana Schwartz is one of the brightest of the next generation of young writers." --Neil Gaiman, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Schwartz's magical novel is at once gripping and tender, and the intricate plot is engrossing as the reader tries to solve the mystery. She doesn't miss a beat in either the characterization or action, scattering clues with a delicate, precise hand. This is, in the end, the story of the anatomy of the human heart." - Booklist (starred review)

"[R]eaders will eagerly turn pages... A suspenseful, intricately plotted gothic romance, perfect for fans of macabre historical fiction. Recommend to readers who enjoy Kenneth Oppel's 'The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein' series or Megan Shepherd's 'Madman's Daughter' trilogy." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"...an intimate look at how society decides who is worth healing and who is worth exploiting in the name of science. " - Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

"A fast-paced, utterly engrossing tale of mystery, romance, and cadavers. Dana Schwartz deftly blends the historical with the supernatural, racing from macabre graveyards to Scottish castles with two compelling young heroes I dare you not to root for. I grinned, I gasped, I cried and ended this book breathless and craving more." --Alwyn Hamilton, New York Times bestselling author of the Rebel of the Sands series

"Diabolically delightful. A love story, a murder mystery, and a horror novel bound up together in ghoulish stitches." --Maureen Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Truly Devious trilogy

"Lionhearted heroine you'll root for from page one? Check. Dark academia vibes? Check. Cheeky romantic banter that will make you blush? Check, check and CHECK. Read this gripping, ridiculously clever tale only if you're fully prepared to be haunted by its revelations about life and death while also swooning at the idea of flirting with someone in an open grave." --Emma Lord, New York Times bestselling author of You Have a Match and Tweet Cute

Praise for And We're Off:

A Seventeen Magazine Best Book of the Year

"A winsome, hilarious tale about losing the map and finding a better way to a happy ending. I loved it!" --#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner

"And We're Off is sure to steal your heart and inspire some serious wanderlust."--HelloGiggles

"Fun, poignant, and funny. I want to travel with Dana, and after reading this, so will you." --New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Maureen Johnson

"[Schwartz] deftly mixes humor and tenderness....This funny, whimsical tome isn't easy to put down once you start." --Rolling Stone

Praise for Choose Your Own Disaster:

"This long-form personality quiz manages to combine humor with unflinching honesty as one young woman tries to find herself amid the many, many choices that your twenties have to offer." --Bustle

"Equal parts amusing and cringe-worthy, these stories will have millennial readers relating and older ones nodding, 'Yes. I've made similar mistakes."--Library Journal

"The snappy direct address gives the feel of a playful internet bit, is sure to please Schwartz's loyal fans." --Booklist

"What do millennials love more than a quiz? NOTHING (except for killing off the diamond and napkin industries). That's part of what makes Dana Schwartz's unflinching, hilarious, and feminist memoir, Choose Your Own Disaster, such a fun ride." --PopSugar

"Choose Your Own Disaster is a salted caramel of a memoir. Her travails as an early 20-something aspiring writer/rom-com character are the perfect mixture of salty and sweet." --The Washington Post
