Krysten Lindsay Hager

When you're looking for something "funny, lively, and very real" to read

“Dating the It Guy is an entertaining story that is as absorbing as it is hilarious.”-- Readers' Favorite

"This book is unexpectedly funny and delightful! Emme is our main character and I love her quirky, random brain. Her streams of thought and mental dialogue are hilarious!"--Amazon Review

“There is so much to love about this book. Krysten Lindsay Hager knows how teens think and speak, and she understands why Emme would feel overwhelmed by everything about Brendon - his looks, his popularity, his feelings for her, his exes, his family.”
--From Vox libris: the voice of books

"There really are plenty of swoony moments in this book, so readers looking for a little contemporary romance will certainly not be disappointed... For Emme dating the “it guy” is a dream come true, but truly believing that he is superior to her opens her up to a lot of negative thoughts and emotions, and I felt like this book had a great underlying message about the importance of self love."--YA and Wine

"I love Hager’s ability to bring real life issues into a story, bring it to life and then teach you not only a life lesson, but how to trust and love."-- Natural Bri

"Teens will especially relate as she tries different ways to cope before finally trusting herself... The author intertwines a poignant story of family bonds with the blush of first love and the difficulty of figuring out a place in an ever-changing world of expectations. This talented author is one to watch!" InD'tale magazine
