<p>Praise for<i> Not Now, Not Ever</i>: <p/>Why You'll Love It: Anderson's debut novel, <i>The Only Things Worse Than Me Is You</i>, was one of Paste's best YA novels of 2016. It draws inspiration from <i>Much Ado About Nothing</i>, and now Anderson's new book takes a page from <i>The Importance of Being Earnest</i>. Because <b>Anderson knows book lovers adore classic retellings.</b> --<i>Paste</i>, 10 of the Best New Young Adult Books in November 2017 <p/>"<b>Witty, romantic, and exuberantly geeky</b>, Lily Anderson's clever teen tribute to <i>The Importance of Being Earnest</i> is delightful. Readers will be wooed by sci-fi fangirl Elliot's compelling struggle to remake her identity while discovering how to be true to herself. Brimming with a cast of standout characters and spot-on family dynamics, this is <b>a flat-out joy of a book.</b> Oscar Wilde would applaud--I certainly did! Bravo!" --Jenn Bennett, author of <i>The Anatomical Shape of a Heart</i> and <i>Alex, Approximately</i> <p/><i>Not Now, Not Ever </i>is <b>a smart, sexy, nerdy love story</b> that would have delighted Oscar Wilde.
