If you’re looking for a good YA book that can be super relatable then this is definitely right for you! I loved that in this book we talk about important themes and get to see amazing queer representation (and a bit of education too!). You meet three lovely characters that come from different backgrounds that come together and connect immediately. It just shows you that you can meet impactful people that can better your lives in just a short amount of time. Amazing book Selys!

I read this as an ARC!! This book was such a cute book!! I love how Duri, Alex, and Jaya became friends at an amusement park while trying to ride a roller coaster that was a single rider. I love how they all had struggles and they did figured it out how to deal with it and they helped each other out.

I received this book from the author as a digital arc in the promise that I would review it after reading.
First and foremost I wish it was longer. I crave to know more about the characters and to see the development of their friendships and futures. That being said I did truly enjoy this novella. The language was simple and easy to follow. The characters were likeable and entertaining. The author does a great job of capturing the “teen experience” and how simple it is to find commonalities with people your age. I did find some of it to be a little on the nose but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story. I do appreciate the diversity featured in the story as well.

I received this book as a digital ARC from the author. I liked this book so much, I wish it was longer!
This book follows 3 teenagers (Duri, Alex, and Jaya) who meet in a single riders line at an amusement park. After the ride they don’t say goodbye and begin talking. They become fast friends, and share intimate details about each of their lives (I don’t want to give spoilers, but it’s good).
My favorite things about this book is how quickly the 3 become friends. Teenagers are amazing, and it’s seems like they can find friends anywhere. I love how supportive they were throughout this book. This is the perfect book for young adults! You are not alone

Coming out November 1st!
I was provided a digital ARC and this is my honest review of the novella.
This is a short read that keeps you engaged, asking questions from start to finish. The story flows with details explaining each main character, their complicated backgrounds, and how they come together to get closure.
The coming of age confrontations in this novella hit me right in the heart. I could put myself in their shoes, all of the main characters, and imagine how I would want the situations to work out. We meet fun, unique individuals who learn communication skills and how to find their own voice.
This was my first read from this author and I’ll be adding more to my TBR!

Loveable characters. This novella did a wonderful job creating three compelling characters who I enjoyed learning about. Aspects of the writing style was not my favourite but it did not take away from the overall story.

Thank you to Selys Rivera for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Single Riders was a quick and easy read. This book begins with our three main characters meeting in a single rider's line while waiting their turn. Throughout, you'll experience each character's internal dilemma and how they solve it later in the book. Although the tw's sound scary these characters do an excellent job tackling each subject. I loved how short this novella was. It was very fun and it did an amazing job addressing serious topics that need to be discussed. Definitely recommend! :)

Thank you to the author for sending me a digital ARC of this novella. I really enjoyed this short and sweet stories about these three strangers that form an unforgettable bond. The story of told from all three point view with made the book more of a conversation that is easy to follows with great descriptive writing that paints a clear picture. Every character is unique and part of the LGBTQIA community in there way giving great representation that we don’t often see on writing. I love the found family tropes and how the book had me smiling throughout. If you’re looking for a quick and sweet read about queer friendships with great diversity you should check this novella out!
