Lauren Barnholdt writes contemporary young adult fiction about romance, friendship, school and the messy consequences of breakups or impulsive decisions. Two-Way Street follows ex-couple Courtney and Jordan on a road trip to college, alternating their viewpoints as the real reasons behind their breakup gradually become clear. Sometimes It Happens uses shifting timelines to reconstruct a friendship and romantic betrayal, while The Thing About the Truth brings together two teenagers whose relationship is complicated by secrets and school politics. Barnholdt's books are quick, dialogue-heavy and strongly focused on perspective, often allowing the reader to know that one character is withholding information from another. They fit YA contemporary romance, road-trip fiction and school relationship stories. Two-Way Street is the clearest example of her dual-narrator structure and her interest in how the same relationship can look very different from each side. Read more Less
