#6TimesWeAlmostKissed

From NOVL Nation

“This achingly beautiful book brings to life not just a romantic love story, but also two very unique characters whose respect and care for each other goes far beyond the majority of young adult romances. Tate and Penny are committed to each other long before they realize they are in love. They are the kind of friends one would want in times of crisis and joy. This is not only a book that I would recommend for lovers of young adult romance… This is a story for anyone who has ever loved, lost, or struggled. It is truly a story for everyone.”

—Leah, Teaching Social Justice with Children's Books

“Tess Sharpe knows how to write broken, complicated characters to the point that I felt like she ripped my own story from the depths of my soul!”

—Toya, @thereadingchemist

As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 07:00:43 +0000

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Zoulfa Katouh is a Syrian Canadian living in Switzerland. She is currently doing her master’s in Drug Sciences and finds Studio Ghibli inspiration in the mountains, lakes, and stars surrounding her. In her books, you will find strong girls, soft boys, magic, and characters who look like her that grab life by the lapels and live it to the fullest. When she’s not talking to herself in the woodland forest, she’s drinking iced coffee, baking aesthetic cookies and cakes, and telling everyone who would listen about how BTS paved the way. Her dream is to get Kim Namjoon to read one of her books. If that happens, she will expire on the spot. As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow is her debut novel. You can find her on Twitter @thelemonwitch_ or on her website zoulfakatouh.com.

#AsLongAsTheLemonTreesGrow

FROM NOVL NATION

“At times achingly tender and at times brutal, the author's prose creates a world so real you'll feel your heart shatter right along with the characters.”

—Abigail, @abigailslostinabook

“Zoulfa is a genius when it comes to her raw prose and lyrical descriptions… I can’t count the number of times I cried while reading, and the stark portrayal of grief, mental health, and—most importantly—hope is one of the most powerful that I have ever read.”

—Lauren, DontGoBrekkerMyHeart

“This was a beautiful story of survival and perseverance… I would absolutely recommend for everyone to read.”

—Ashley, Ash-and-Books

“Salama is such a beautiful character, haunted by her traumas and promises while doing everything in her power to help those around her.”

—Olivia, onemused

“It's been months since I read this book but I still can't find the proper words to write a review fitting for this book. As Long as the Lemon trees Grow has actually altered my brain chemistry… This book is a masterpiece.”

—Mimi, @mindyourshelf

“This book was heartbreakingly beautiful. I cried multiple times… There were times I was just left staring at the page in awe or horror… This book had one big moment that shattered my already-taped up heart. When a book utterly wrecks you as this one...you know it's good.”

—Rebecca, @libraryofbecca

“If you want something heartbreaking and real and powerful complete with Muslim rep, the sweetest romance ever, and gorgeous writing, look no further! There aren’t enough words to describe how good this is.”

—Briana, @brianas_booknook

“This was heart wrenching, it pulled me in and gripped my heart with it's bare pages. I don't know what to say or think except for the word Powerful.”

—Molina, @molina_lovestoread

“The characters are what make this impactful novel come to life. They are all resilient and multi-faceted, and their personalities will stay with readers long after they finish the book.”

–Amerie, The Lighthouse

–Briana, Briana’s Book Nook

From NOVL Nation

“Is there anything better than reading a book and finding the words to describe things you feel so deeply but haven’t ever been able to articulate? Heartbreak Symphony made me want to underline whole pages. This book puts in words so many things I thought I was alone in feeling.”

– Megan, @emdashmegan

“Heartbreak Symphony is a beautiful homage to the power of music to make us brave, soothe our heart, and bring back memories. The family relationships in this book are tender, painful, and stunning all at once.”

– Lili, Utopia State of Mind

“I think Heartbreak Symphony is the most perfect name for this book. It was a beautiful melodic heartbreak that tore me up, but made me feel whole at the same.”

– Mellie, @milesofpages

“Heartbreak Symphony by Leakan Zea Kemp was one of those heart-gripping, gut-wrenching reads… Ohmigoodness - the feels! I knew I was reading an emotionally charged book, but to hear Aarón and Mia speak their thoughts and feelings made my heart soar. This is such an important story and one that should not be missed!”

– Katie, @niftyreads

“This is a really compelling and heartfelt read. Both Mia and Aaron are struggling with their grief and also struggles with anxiety/depression… Their relationship was really fantastic, and some of their conversations/scenes were heartfelt and lovely.”

About the Author

K. X. Song is a diaspora writer with roots in Hong Kong and Shanghai. An Echo in the City is her debut novel.

Visit her online at kxsong.com, or on Instagram.

Peek the Audiobook

From NOVL Nation

“I loved every second of it! I don’t know how to put into words about all the emotion I felt whilst reading this. Throughout, Song created this send of hope whilst incorporating history.”

–Em, @smellofnewbooks

“This was a compelling read for the star-crossed lovers romance, but it also brought a lot of information about the state of Hong Kong and the reasons for the protests… Nix and Kai were both compelling and flawed characters who are figuring out what they want and who they want to be, as well as falling in love.”

–Olivia, @onemused

“Extremely powerful. It shows the nuance about social conflict that you just won’t get from news sound bites that report on issues like the HK protests. Can’t recommend highly enough!”

–Colette, Goodreads

“This book felt like it was written just for me—it hugged me and let me know my experiences as a diasporic Hong Kong-American were valid while making me swell with pride in my ancestors and kin, even if I will never know them.”

–Sydney, @a_heart_full_of_books_

“K.X. Song writes from both sides of riot gear, giving the story a very human lens. At its heart, it’s a story about Hong Kong, its people, its spirit, and its fight for freedom, but it’s told on such a personal level, through two teenagers with seemingly nothing to gain and love, innocence, and life to lose.”

– Veronica, Little Corner Reads
