Reviews
Praise for North of Beautiful : Best Books of the Year List, Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year List, Barnes & Noble Walden Award finalist * "With every carefully chosen word, well-crafted sentence, and fully developed character, [Chen] maps out a wholly satisfying reading experience that takes readers from terra nullis to terra firma." -- Booklist , starred review * "This emotionally satisfying novel is replete with themes about the true meaning of beauty.... Look out, Sarah Dessen. You may have met your match..." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Finely crafted." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Terra and Jacob are flawed, complex, and memorable characters. The message that true beauty and strength come from within is dominant, but this is also a moving and satisfying story in its own right." -- School Library Journal Praise for A Blind Spot for Boys : Booklist Top Ten Books Texas Library Association Lone Star Reading List " A Blind Spot for Boys uses sarcasm and humor to address the age-old conflict of love and trust. Told from Shana's perspective, readers gain insight into the fears and insecurities that plague adolescents after traumatic break-ups." -- VOYA "Chen, author of the smart and serious North of Beautiful , finds similar ground here: an emotional and beautiful story, with hints of budding romance mixed in with the touching realism." -- Booklist Praise for Nothing but the Truth (and a few white lies) : Asian Pacific American Award for Literature "[Chen's] voice is a new and much-needed one that shows great promise." -- School Library Journal, Advance Praise for Lovely, Dark, and Deep : "A luminous read that will rekindle your faith in the indomitable human spirit and make you want to spend more time in starlight." -- Matthew Quick, author of The Silver Linings Playbook and Every Exquisite Thing "Viola's story explores one of life's big questions: are we defined by our losses or will we allow them to lead us into an even more meaningful hero's journey? In Lovely, Dark, and Deep , Justina Chen has crafted an inspiring, romantic novel full of redemption and hope for teens and adults alike." - Mitali Perkins, author of You Bring the Distant Near * "Fresh, often funny.... Readers won't be able to help but root for Viola in this moving, empowering book about a teen recalculating her well-laid plans, all in a vivid voice." - Booklist , starred review "Chen convincingly evokes not only Viola's physical discomfort but also the emotional impact of living with an incurable disease. Viola's parents' despair, her sister's frustration, and Josh's fear that he will somehow bring harm to Viola are delineated equally well. No matter the darkness of the subject, Chen provides glimmers of hope as she reveals Viola's battle to reclaim a form of normalcy." - Publishers Weekly "Chen gives readers a sensitive glimpse into what living with a chronic illness might be like.... Readers will root for Viola as she searches for new purpose. A strong exploration of resilience in the face of life unpredictable." - Kirkus Reviews "Teens will want to read this for the romance and rare medical condition, but they will stay for the sympathetic protagonist who must come to terms with her changed reality.... Sure to be popular and recommended for all collections." - School Library Journal, Praise for Lovely, Dark, and Deep : "A luminous read that will rekindle your faith in the indomitable human spirit and make you want to spend more time in starlight." -- Matthew Quick, author of The Silver Linings Playbook and Every Exquisite Thing "Viola's story explores one of life's big questions: are we defined by our losses or will we allow them to lead us into an even more meaningful hero's journey?
