\"theFellow Class of 2k17 Books<\/a> member Jennifer Park’s<\/a> incredible YA debut, THE SHADOWS WE KNOW BY HEART, releases today and it is quite simply the book you did not know you have been waiting for all of your life.<\/p>\n

Leah Roberts\u2019s life has never been the same since her brother died ten years ago. Her mother won\u2019t stop drinking, her father can\u2019t let go of his bitter anger, and Leah herself has a secret she\u2019s told no one: Sasquatch are real, and she\u2019s been watching a trio of them in the woods behind her house for years.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Everything changes when Leah discovers that among the Sasquatch lives a teenager. This alluring, enigmatic boy has no memory of his past and can barely speak, but Leah can\u2019t shake his magnetic pull. Gradually, Leah\u2019s life entwines with his, providing her the escape from reality she never knew she needed.<\/em><\/p>\n

But when Leah\u2019s two worlds suddenly collide in a deadly showdown, she uncovers a shocking truth as big and extraordinary as the legends themselves, one that could change her life forever.<\/em><\/p>\n

THE SHADOWS WE KNOW BY HEART is one of my favorite all-time YA reads. I cannot wait to share it with everyone I know.<\/p>\n

\nMy rating: 5 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

I loved every word of Jennifer Parks’s debut novel. The story is captivating from page one. Park plunges you into the East Texas woods until you feel like you’re part of the story and never want to leave. Great characters, a great setting, gorgeous writing and exactly the right amount of action\/tension to keep you turning the pages. A haunting look at love, hope, and the lies we tell, this is a book I can’t wait to read again.<\/p>\n
