  Would you like to participate in  the bookstagram Tour for  THE WORST PERFECT MOMENT? Synopsis: Equal parts tender and edgy, this inventive queer romance imagines what it might feel like to come of age in the afterlife. Tegan Masters is dead. She’s sixteen and she’s dead and she’s standing in the parking lot of the Marybelle Motor Lodge, the single most depressing motel in all of New Jersey and the place where Tegan spent what she remembers as the worst weekend of her life.

According to Zelda, Tegan is officially in heaven, where every person inhabits an exact replica of their happiest memory.

Synopsis: Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, this suspenseful queer YA romance from critically acclaimed author K.
