Happy 3-Year Anniversary to My 1st YA Book!

Happy 3-Year Anniversary to my 1st YA book:

“The Night I Spent with Aubrey Fisher”

A dark, upper-YA coming-of-age romance with mystery elements.

For fans of John Green and all the teen angst you can imagine. And mental health rep.

Book 1 in a planned trilogy, but can 100% be read as a standalone.

Very dark and adult themes that may be upsetting to some. Please check the TWs.

Available in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Also on Libby, Hoopla, Overdrive, etc.

... Read moreCelebrating three years since the release of 'The Night I Spent with Aubrey Fisher,' I’d like to share what makes this upper-YA novel deeply resonant for readers who crave complex emotional narratives. The story captures the intensity of one pivotal night, imbued with mystery and the gravity of mental health struggles, which are often underrepresented in YA literature. From my experience diving into this trilogy starter, the blend of romance and dark themes helps depict the sometimes turbulent path of growing up, making it feel authentic and heartfelt. What stood out to me was how the book handled sensitive topics with care, offering trigger warnings upfront and balancing the rawness with moments of hope. For anyone searching for YA fiction that goes beyond typical coming-of-age stories, this book’s exploration of one person’s chance to save a life offers depth and a compelling storyline. The availability in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats—including platforms like Libby, Hoopla, and Overdrive—makes it accessible no matter your preferred reading style. Whether you are a fan of the emotional complexity found in John Green’s novels or simply enjoy YA romance with added mystery and meaningful mental health representation, this book is a strong recommendation. It’s a reminder of how impactful thoughtful YA literature can be in starting important conversations and connecting with readers on a personal level.

A collage of book covers including 'Play It As It Lays' and 'Bunny,' with the text 'women vs. the void or: books with unhinged female protagonists' overlaid. The image features various titles recommended for their themes of female struggle and existential turmoil.
Two book covers, 'Brutes' and 'Severance,' are displayed with their genres (literary fiction, science fiction) and page counts. Summaries describe 'Brutes' about girls orbiting a missing preacher's daughter and 'Severance' about a woman photographing an abandoned New York.
Two book covers, 'One's Company' and 'Penance,' are shown with their genres (literary fiction, crime, mystery). Summaries detail 'One's Company' about recreating a TV show and 'Penance' about a journalist investigating a girl's murder.
unhinged & existential book recs
One of my absolute favorite subgenres is unhinged female protagonists (antagonists??). I love books about nearly-feral teens showcasing the trials and absolute mania of girlhood, inner female struggles metaphorically manifesting into the paranormal, or the existential turmoil of being a woman in
