“Marie Marquardt is the author behind the beautifully rendered Flight Season, a YA novel about college, love, and new beginnings. Her writing brings to life the chaos of adolescence and the sweet yet awkward nature of first love. Marquardt tackles the fluffy and serious aspects of young adult life, bringing teens an honest and lovable novel that’s nearly impossible not to enjoy... Marie Marquardt and I discussed her inspiration for Flight Season, immigration, and tackling college life in YA.”

“This novel challenged me and brought to my attention where YA fiction needs to go. While her previous releases were very well-written and enjoyable, this is by far her best work. Arcos gives young adults the chance to experience history they may not be familiar with while tackling relatable topics that are certain to resonate. In short, We Are All That’s Left is beautiful and has to be read.”
It's a rare book that wins the battle against drooping eyelids.

“So many words but I still can’t find how to tell you ‘you mean the world to me’ I still can’t locate the one word that will show you how much I care”
Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And let us not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.
