Return to Sender is now out in the US with Harper Teen. Congrulations to you Lauren!
Here is some very well-deserved praise for this wonderful YA title:
Thoughtfully weaves a mystery into a poignant tale about a young woman finding home.
Like a greedy little bush turkey, I absolutely gobbled up — GOBBLED, I tell you — @laurendraperwrites’ latest oh-so-precious #LoveOzYA story. So. How do I love thee, Return to Sender? Let me count the ways…there’s the delicious mix of genres: at once a homecoming, a coming-of-age, a romance, a buddy tale, and a mystery. This book has it all, and yet never feels like too much. It manages to dip between the present and the past without losing any of its punch, and the mystery element kept me hooked with each reveal. I desperately galloped through the last 60 pages, eager for a happy ending for my beloved characters, frantic to unpack the unknowns.Heartache, humour, and snail mail abound in Return to Sender, making this one eminently readable and re-readable. ✨
Return to Sender is an engrossing read with well-developed characters and a sympathetic exploration of family, friendships and first loves.
