“The Night We Said Yes captures the flutter and heartache of first love. This book is a first kiss and a first touch. It is a promise of a night filled with the thrill (and fear) of so many possibilities.”
—JENNY TORRES SANCHEZ, author of The Downside of Being Charlie and Death, Dickinson, and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia
“The Night We Said Yes is filled with brilliant insights about what it’s like to be young and alive. You haven’t met Lauren Gibaldi, but she already knows you.”
—DC PIERSON, author of Crap Kingdom and The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep and Never Had To
“Effectively captures intense, all-consuming teen attraction.”
—SLJ
“Gibaldi’s special debut will make readers ruminate on first chances, first loves, and those big, life-altering decisions. Fun to read, and the love story embedded within—along with a boatload of awesome characters—will appeal to lovers of all genres.”
—ROMANTIC TIMES
“A story of friendship and romance, music and trespassing, and ultimately pursuing your own dream and your heart’s desire. For fans of books like Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.”
—ALA BOOKLIST
“Speaks to the power of friendship and the importance of nurturing relationships.”
—VOYA
“A light but meaningful summer romance.”
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
