Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

5.0

Awesome, uber-meta book that's both a YA novel and a novel about YA. 18-year-old Darcy Patel wrote a paranormal romance during NaNoWriMo, got a huge two-book publishing deal, and moved to New York to finish the edits to her book and write the sequel. Afterworlds is told in alternating chapters -- half are about Darcy in New York, and the other half are chapters from Darcy's book. It is super fun to see how what is happening in Darcy's real life affects what is happening in her book, and also all the great insider YA tidbits. A must for any YA geek.
