Every Time You Go Away

Praise for Every Other Weekend

“This is a coming-of-age story with real heart and authenticity. A must read!” —Samantha Young, New York Times bestselling author of The Fragile Ordinary and On Dublin Street

“A poignant, painful, and stirring story about two kids trying to navigate divorce, first love, and finding your dreams.” —Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces and How to Make Friends with the Dark

“Every Other Weekend handles sensitive family issues with honesty, amidst the fresh, emotive backdrop of Johnson’s stunning prose. Adam and Jolene spark the page with their wit. And they’ll slide into your heart as they discover each other’s.” —Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow

“Johnson beautifully evokes the tender romance that eventually builds between [Adam and Jolene] after their first encounters, offering readers access to the two teens’ inner thoughts and fragile psyches. Jolene’s loneliness, especially, will break hearts… The positive, not overly simplistic resolution to the complicated story will touch readers.” —Booklist

“A complex and emotionally charged character-driven story that explores a variety of painfully human themes, including loss and emotional abuse. Adam’s and Jolene’s struggles will draw readers in, and the slow-burning romance will touch readers’ hearts… Heart-wrenching and hopeful—a reminder that we can change our stories.” —Kirkus Reviews

“In addition to the tender love story, the book takes on a number of important issues for young adults including divorce, loss, grief, family dynamics, relationship control, and sexual assault… Romance fans will especially enjoy this title.” —School Library Journal
