Praise for REQUIEM: Is there a theme more perfect for YA readers than choosing what you want from life rather than being told? --Booklist Praise for PANDEMONIUM: This is a romance in the purest of senses, where just the longing for the faintest taste of love is worth the greatest of risks. Like all successful second volumes, this expands the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale. --Booklist Praise for PANDEMONIUM: Following directly on the heels of Delirium, Pandemonium is equally riveting. The underlying theme that love will win out regardless of prohibition is a powerful idea that will speak to teens. --School Library Journal Praise for Delirium: Strong characters, a vivid portrait of the lives of teens in a repressive society, and nagging questions that can be applied to our world today make this book especially compelling and discussable. --School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for Delirium: In a thick climate of fear, Oliver spins out a suspenseful story of awakening and resistance with true love at its core. --The Horn Book Praise for Before I Fall: Oliver's debut novel is raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful....readers will love Samantha best as she hurtles toward an end as brave as it is heartbreaking. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for Before I Fall: Oliver, in a pitch-perfect teen voice, explores the power we have to affect the people around us in this intensely believable first novel...This is a compelling book with a powerful message and should not be missed. --ALA Booklist Praise for PANDEMONIUM: From the grief-stricken shell of her former self to a nascent refugee and finally to a full-fledged resistance fighter, Lena's strength and the complexity of her internal struggles will keep readers up at night. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for Delirium: In [Oliver's] dystopian America, love has been outlawed as the life-threatening source of all discord. Lena's gradual awakening is set against a convincing backdrop of totalitarian horror. The abrupt ending leaves enough unanswered questions to set breathless readers up for volume two of this trilogy. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for Before I Fall: Samantha's attempts to save her life and right the wrongs she has caused are precisely what will draw readers into this complex story and keep them turning pages until Sam succeeds in living her last day the right way. --Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (Starred Review)

Praise for Before I Fall: Oliver, in a pitch-perfect teen voice, explores the power we have to affect the people around us in this intensely believable first novel...This is a compelling book with a powerful message and should not be missed. --ALA Booklist
