The talented Aimee Ferris, whose new book WILL WORK FOR PROM DRESS just came out on Tuesday (congrats, Aimee!), has an ongoing PROMAPALOOZA with various YA authors and their prom pics.

I went home to visit my parents over the holidays and they had a surprise waiting for me. No, not a new car or even a cashmere sweater. Instead, they pulled out ALL of the boxes of stuff I was saving for posterity (or something like that). All fifteen boxes, each filled to the brim [...]

dear sarah, So I’ve been dating this guy for 6 months and I really liked him at the beginning but now I’m having doubts whether I like him or not due to that he really doesn’t pay attention to me and we really don’t see each other. He claims that I’m the one that doesn’t [...]
