kellyhager 's review for:

Redwood and Ponytail by K.A. Holt

I snagged a copy of this at ALA as an impulse and I'm so glad I did. This book is amazing. 

It's told in verse from both girls' viewpoints. Watching them become friends and then fall for each other is incredibly satisfying. Of course there are hurdles, but it's still so sweet and swoon-worthy. The poetry adds an extra dimension to this, especially the parts where they're thinking almost the same thing. It's adorable, and 

This is absolutely a book to watch out for (it's out October 1), and I'll be looking for K.A. Holt's backlist. Recommended.
