"That's what picking favorite songs is, really. You offer up your heart so that the song can latch onto you."
A great quote for #TuesdayTunes!
I loved this LGBTQIA+ YA romance. The title is based on the song "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure. The book discusses sexual orientation, race, class, and music. An excellent read for music lovers during Pride Month!

New Reads November is BACK on my book podcast! YA author Eliot Schrefer joins me to kick off the sixth (!!!!) year of this beloved annual series and to talk about FRIDAY I‘M IN LOVE by Camryn Garrett. We discuss coming out narratives, casual racism, self-aware narrators, the subversion of tropes about sweet sixteens, and how to write for a teen audience. 🎉🏳️🌈 Listen at the link in my bio!
pickI read this pretty quickly, just in a day pretty much. I really enjoyed this.
Burnout is real, y'all. Not sure how to combat it aside from making the most of every rare day off. Today it means pj's all day and a new YA read, and it feels like bliss. #CurrentlyReading
Yep, just as cute as the cover. There is very much angst in this book (I have a high angst tolerance, and even I was like, this is quite a bit.) Incredibly real in all the ways being a teen makes you feel like adults are both expecting too much and not enough from you. And all the crush feels.

Great song, too. Such a light, uplifting pop song, which is something I don't always associate with The Cure 😅. Thanks for sharing. 5mo
