Disclaimer: The following is an honest review, but it would be dishonest of me not to reveal that the author, Lauren James, is one of my good friends.

The Next Together, debut YA novel by Lauren James, will be published in September 2015. I’ve been lucky enough to read it both in its infancy and in its polished final form. Here’s a review of the latter. You can follow Lauren on twitter @Lauren_E_James or see her reblogs of Dylan O’Brien on her tumblr.
