I also adored Duels, Wesley James, The List, and Foolish Hearts. Other than KWest, I had never read anything by those authors, so I was delighted to find new authors to fangirl over. I still need to read the Buxbaum. I read her other three books and LOVED them. Hopefully my library gets it soon. Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.com
