Now on to the giveaway! Win SEVEN books...and four of them are SIGNED!
This feels like the little book that could.
A World Without You is something of a departure for me--darker, realer, more personal. But I think it's going to find a home on bookshelves, and I couldn't be happier.
Of course, no book exists in a bubble. I couldn't write this one without immense help from my agent, my editor and publisher, my family, my friends. My past. People who are no longer with us; people who have just joined my family.
Today, I want to take a moment and thank some people--and thank
you by holding a giveaway in honor of the authors who believed in me from the very start and who so graciously endorsed my book before it was a book.
When authors are asked to go out and find other authors to blurb their book, there's a universal
panic!panic!panic! alarm that goes through their heads. What if no one likes it? What if they
hate it? (That last one, btw, totally happened to me with AtU...an author actually rejected me so hard she told me she hated the book and wished it wasn't being published.) There's an extra layer of anxiety, knowing that one's peers are deeply analyzing whether or not a book is worthy of their praise. So emailing or phoning other authors, hat in hand, hoping they'll like your book is
incredibly nerve-wracking.
Fortunately, I have wonderful friends and colleagues who graced me with blurbs, and so to honor and thank them, I'm holding a giveaway for their books. Many of them are signed (!!!), and you'll also get a copy of
A World Without You and a copy of another bonus novel that inspired me. Open internationally, closes July 17th.
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
Win a hardcover of this book, signed by the author!
I have been a fan of Alex's work since The Darkest Minds, and I love Passenger even more. Time travel and swoony-ness and pirates and adventure and ahhhhh!!!
When she graced this blurb for the front cover of A World Without You, I almost fell over:
“A heartrending, beautifully complex look at mental illness, life, and loss. I tore through the pages, and, days later, this story still has a hold on me.” —Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Minds series and Passenger
More Happy than Not by Adam Silvera
Win a hardcover of this book, signed by the author!
Adam's debut knocked my socks off. I loved the premise--a boy who lives in a world where select memories can be erased wants to erase being gay. But it was the end of this novel that really blew me away. Adam took risks with this book--you will not expect that conclusion, I promise!
It is my great honor that he read A World Without You and said:
"A painfully brilliant and transporting read. This novel has the rare superpower to change and save lives." —Adam Silvera, New York Times bestselling author of More Happy Than Not
The Love the Split the World by Emily Henry
Win a hardcover of this book!
When I first saw this book, I had immediate cover and title envy. How perfect is it? But then I heard what it was about--a boy named Beau (my Bo would get along well with him) and a very twisted fate. This one picks up speed and never stops until the end.
I'm so glad this Beau-author read my Bo-book :)
"A World Without You tackles grief, mental illness, and family dynamics with both grace and generosity. I fell in love with Bo’s story of perseverance in the face of seemingly endless struggle and was left brimming with hope. Readers will emerge from this book a little stronger than when they entered.” —Emily Henry, author of The Love That Split the World
The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone by Adele Griffin
Win a hardcover of this book!
Confession time: A World Without You wouldn't exist without The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone. Period. It's this specific book by Adele that made me think my story was possible. In it, a young artist dies far too soon, and through the transcripts by loved ones and articles about her, the reader peels back the layers of this mysterious girl's life.
This book meant so much to me, on a deeply personal level. The fact that Adele gives my book a seal of approval means more than I can say.
“Beth Revis delivers us an astonishing shape-shifter of a tale that dazzles and startles at every tense turn. Themes of love, secrets, and heartbreak are woven into a taut and bewitching narrative that will pull you in and not let you go. Don't forget to breathe.” —Adele Griffin, author of The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone
The Program by Suzanne Young
Win a hardcover of this book!
I could not put this book down. Could not. I got an ebook of The Program when it first came out, and read the entire book straight through in one night, staying up until 3am to finish. I was terrified for the characters, fascinated by the premise, and my eyes were crying so hard I had to take multiple breaks. This book is about an epidemic of suicide, and the lengths we go to try to save someone...even if it means controlling them.
Suzanne is epic, and I'm so lucky to know her.
“A World Without You is a beautiful, devastating, mind-bending adventure.” —Suzanne Young, New York Times bestselling author of The Program series
Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman
Win a signed hardcover of this book!
This is a book that deeply inspired me. Neal wrote this book with his son, who suffers from schizophrenia, and the text is layered with drawings he made while undergoing treatment. The story itself is twisted and strange--much like the mind--but there are flashes of clarity for both the reader and the narrator. This National Book Award Winner is truly a masterpiece.
To thank the books that have inspired me and the authors who've supported me, I'm giving away a box full of their books to one lucky winner.
Rules!
- Open internationally
- Closes July 19--the day the book comes out!
- One winner gets all seven books--four signed by the authors!

This tour was a little different from my past ones. Before I picked up with the Dangerous Ladies group, I took a little detour up to New England so that I could tour some of the places where A World Without You takes place. I set the book in the Boston-area for a few reasons--proximity to the Salem Witch Trials, after a book event at Wellesley Books where the weather seemed just right for my setting, the convenient location of Plum Island. I did as much research as I could with books and the internet, but this is the first time I actually got a chance to visit the areas where the book was actually set! (And don't worry--I took lots of pics and videos, and will be posting them over the next few days.)
Stick around all this week for more updates and travelogue of my recent tour--including a literal whale, a makeover, and a naked cowboy!
