PEOPLE MAGAZINE
People magazine asked sixteen authors to reveal their most-anticipated summer readers of 2025, and A.L. Graziadei (Icebreaker) selected Don't Let Me Go. In choosing the book, A.L. wrote, "I was as destined to love Don't Let Me Go as Riley and Jackson were to love each other. I would read a dozen more of their lifetimes together. It was heart-wrenching, hilarious and hopeful, with a perfectly fantastical touch." You can read the full list of People's most-anticipated books here.
ADAM SILVERA BOOK CLUB
Don't Let Me Go has been selected as the June pick for the Adam Silvera Book Club on Allstora. In choosing the book, Adam wrote, "Don't Let Me Go is a moving, beautifully written, epic love story (that gets steamy!) about two young men-one gay, one straight (maybe?)--whose vivid dreams of each other turn out to be memories of past lives of when they were lovers. The tragic twist? All their past lives die at a certain point in the love story. As the author of They Both Die at the End, you see why I'm such a fan of this story, right? If you vibe with my book or Robbie Couch's If I See You Again Tomorrow, I trust you'll be obsessed with this book! And the ending is... let's say… very bold and brave."

Don't Let Me Go has been selected as the June pick of the Dazzling Bookish Shop, which will release a special edition of the book featuring an alternate dust jacket, custom book edges, a signed bookplate, and matching bookmark.
