By Katie Cotugno
You Say It First: An Irresistible YA Contemporary Romance About Finding Love Across Distance by Katie Cotugno digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

An addictive, irresistible YA novel about two teens from different worlds who fall for each other after a voter registration call turns into a long-distance romance—from Katie Cotugno, the New York Times bestselling author of 99 Days . Perfect for fans of Mary H.K. Choi, Robin Benway, and Nicola Yoon. One conversation can change everything. Meg has her entire life set up she and her best friend, Emily, plan to head to Cornell together in the fall, and she works at a voter registration call center in her Philadelphia suburb. But everything changes when one of those calls connects her to a stranger from small-town Ohio. Colby is stuck in a rut, reeling from a family tragedy and working a dead-end job. The last thing he has time for is some privileged rich girl preaching the sanctity of the political process. So he says the worst thing he can think of and hangs up. But things don’t end there.… That night on the phone winds up being the first in a series of candid, sometimes heated, always surprising conversations that lead to a long-distance friendship and then—slowly—to something more. Across state lines and phone lines, Meg and Colby form a once-in-a-lifetime connection. But in the end, are they just too different to make it work? You Say It First is a propulsive, layered novel about how sometimes the person who has the least in common with us can be the one who changes us most.

You Say It First: An Irresistible YA Contemporary Romance About Finding Love Across Distance Reviews

2.5
“i dont even wanna hate on this book simply because of how fucking boring and lame this was to read. i feel like the plot had SO much potential, the characters definitely had a ton of room for development (that didn’t happen btw). i feel like what was trying to happen with meg was like a headstrong, outspoken, very opinionated fmc but that just… didn’t happen. like she HAD all of those qualities but all of them were way too strong that it left zero room to form your own opinion on her. i have zero words for colby. first chapter about him ticked me off and he just SEEMED immature, like i cannot do that with a mmc i’m sorry. overall.. 2 stars, 1 is too mean and 3 is too much. this had so much potential and it genuinely wasn’t that bad of a book, but unfortunately…. not for me at all.”
