Emery Lord writes contemporary young adult fiction about friendship, first love, grief and the pressure teenagers place on themselves to recover or move forward. Open Road Summer follows Reagan on tour with her country-star best friend, while The Start of Me and You centres on Paige, who makes a plan to reinvent herself after the death of her boyfriend but finds that friendship, quiz bowl and a new romance refuse to fit neatly into it. When We Collided alternates between Vivi and Jonah, bringing bipolar disorder, bereavement and family responsibility into a summer romance. Lord's books are accessible, dialogue-led and emotionally direct, with strong friendship groups alongside romance. Lord's novels sit within contemporary YA and teen romance, but grief, friendship groups and family pressure are usually as important as the central relationship. Read more Less
