Melanie Hooyenga

    Melanie Hooyenga schrijft voornamelijk voor jongvolwassenen, en merkt dat ze zich nog steeds het best identificeert met die leeftijdsgroep. Haar proza wordt gekenmerkt door een diepgaand begrip van de uitdagingen en ervaringen van de adolescentie. Hooyenga vangt vakkundig de authentieke stemmen en innerlijke levens van haar personages, en creëert zo verhalen die resoneren met lezers die op zoek zijn naar oprechte en meeslepende vertellingen. Haar werk duikt in de complexe emoties en de groei die de reis van volwassen worden definiëren.

      The new boy. The quiet girl. Will they find love during the solar eclipse? Neb Connelly has looked forward to the solar eclipse for as long as he can remember. When his only friend in his new town invites him on a school camping trip to watch it, he's there. And only 67% of his wanting to go is because of the quiet girl on the group text his friend started. She gets his jokes, doesn't mind when he geeks out about the eclipse, and for the first time in months, he's ready to chase more than the sun. Recently single Sage Winters fears she's too damaged for love, but her self-help-loving best friend drags her on a "path of self-healing" - which apparently includes going camping with twenty classmates to see the solar eclipse. And Neb, who she's never met but whose silly space jokes turn her insides to mush, will be there. But when they finally meet in person, another girl stakes her claim on him. Does Sage run the other way to save her heart, or risk it all for a chance at happiness with this space boy? Book one in the Campfire Series, Chasing the Sun, is a lighthearted romance with space puns, Portland shenanigans, and enough feels to totally eclipse your heart.
