Ash Parsons's Blog

So excited to see WE ARE NOT FROM HERE in the top 10, and to see GIRLS SAVE THE WORLD IN THIS ONE making the list as well for top YA books from @yalsa!!!

Kelsey Murphy at Philomel has acquired You’re So Dead by Ash Parsons. The YA comic thriller follows three best friends who sneak into an influencers-only festival (gone way wrong) on a private island in the Caribbean, only to discover a killer is in their midst—and they have to uncover the truth and solve the mystery. Publication is planned for summer 2021; Jodi Reamer at Writers House sold North American rights.
