Weird Girl and What’s His Name A Finalist for IndieFab Awards

Three Rooms Press is thrilled to announce that WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME, the compelling LGBT Young Adult Novel by Meagan Brothers (Debbie Harry Sings in FrenchSupergirl Mixtapes) was selected as a FINALIST for Foreword Reviews IndieFab Awards Young Adult Fiction category.

WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME, which relays the tale of best friends and X-Files fans Rory and Lula, has captured the hearts of reviewers and readers since its release in October 2015. In its initial 5-star review,Foreword Reviews raved, “This is a novel that transcends the LGBTQ genre, and it holds universal lessons for all. It is reminiscent of Judy Bloom’s Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret and Tiger Eyes in the way it tackles somewhat taboo subjects within a smoothly written narrative. It has all the makings to become a classic of this generation.”

  • Best Teen Books of 2015 —Kirkus Reviews

  • 10 New YA Books Every Twentysomething Should Read –StyleCaster

Manhattan Book Review was unequivocal in its praise: “Say hello to one of my new benchmarks for great YA fiction. Weird Girl and What’s His Name is absolutely wonderful, heartbreaking, and utterly engaging stuff.”

American Library Association’s Booklist awarded WEIRD GIRL a starred review and noted, “The characters are wonderfully likable; the story is smartly written.” In its starred review, Kirkus Reviews noted, “Voices are crisply and intimately drawn . . . Carefully and subtly imagined.” And School Library Journal reave, “Brother’s pitch-perfect dialogue and well-polished prose make her an author to watch.”

The Reviews Are In: WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT'S HIS NAME Is a Hit!

With only a week left until the official release of Meagan Brothers's Weird Girl and What's His Name (Three Rooms Press, 978-1941110270) I'm ecstatic to announce that the reviews have been rolling in and they all agree: this is the one book you need to buy this fall!

Read the most recent reviews here:

Barnes & Noble's BNTEENblog "New Releases: Time Loops, Dark Avengers, and a Silver-Screen Love Triangle"
Lula and Rory are X-Files–loving best friends and misfits—she’s brashly outspoken and bookish, he’s in the closet and in a secret relationship with a much older man—who seem to fit with nobody but each other. But when Lula learns that Rory hasn’t been totally honest with her, she decides to run away. The story is narrated first by Rory, then by Lula following her return home, and evokes the rhythms of a friendship of long standing, even after it has been bruised beyond repair.

Stylecaster's "10 New YA Books Every Twentysomething Should Read"
Weird Girl and What's His Name is number 3! "There have been a lot of noteworthy LGBT YA novels hitting the market lately, but Weird Girl and What's His Name is one of the most complex and touching." 

School Library Journal
“Brothers’s pitch-perfect dialogue and well-polished prose make her an author to watch.”

Foreword Reviews (Winter Print issue)
"This is a novel that transcends the LGBTQ genre, and it holds universal lessons for all. It is reminiscent of Judy Bloom’s Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret and Tiger Eyes in the way it tackles somewhat taboo subjects within a smoothly written narrative. It has all the makings to become a classic of this generation."

Brit + Co's "The Best 12 Books Coming Out This October
Meagan Brothers is number 5, right up there with Rainbow Rowell, Patti Smith, and Nicholas Sparks!  

McNally Robinson's "Weird Girl and What's His Name by Meagan Brothers (from a Two Thumbs Up Reviewer)
They write, "Weird Girl and What's His Name was my favourite read of the summer!" 

Chronogram's "Short Takes--October 2015
Their verdict: "A welcome addition to the growing canon of LGBTQ-themed teen literature."

Manhattan Book Review
"Say hello to one of my new benchmarks for great YA fiction. Weird Girl and What’s His Name is absolutely wonderful, heartbreaking, and utterly engaging stuff.“

YA Romantics' "Just Finished Reading: Weird Girl and What's His Name"
"If you're a fan of moving, emotionally complex books about identity and friendship, books like Will Grayson, Will Grayson or This Song Will Change Your Life or Fangirl, you've got to try this!"
