North Of Happy
Adi Alsaid
His whole life has been mapped out for him…Carlos Portillo has always led a privileged and sheltered life. A dual citizen of Mexico and the United States, he lives in Mexico City with his wealthy family, where he attends an elite international school. Always a rule follower and a parent pleaser, Carlos is more than happy to tread the well-worn path in front of him. He has always loved food and cooking, but his parents see it as just a hobby.When his older brother, Felix—who has dropped out of college to live a life of travel—is tragically killed, Carlos begins hearing his brother's voice, giving him advice and pushing him to rebel against his father's plan for him. Worrying about his mental health but knowing the voice is right, Carlos runs away to the United States and manages to secure a job with his favourite celebrity chef. As he works to improve his skills in the kitchen and pursue his dream, he begins to fall for his boss's daughter—a fact that could end his career before it begins. Finally living for himself, Carlos must decide what's most important to him and where his true path really lies.

Praise for North of Happy (#uda688454-fc94-5f12-a98e-eb95253a8a72)
“There is a kernel of truth in every cliché, and Alsaid cracks the teen-lit trope of friends becoming lovers wide open, exposing a beautiful truth inside.... A good romance is hard to come by. This is a great one.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“With all the fun of a classic teen movie, this one should fly off the shelves.”
—Booklist
“This fun romp will appeal to students looking to push beyond the edges of their own comfort zones.”
—School Library Journal
“Explor[es] universal feelings of friendship and love.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A refreshing novel about friendship and romance that defies cliché, Never Always Sometimes will win readers over with its hilarious musings and universal truths.”
—Adam Silvera, author of More Happy Than Not
Praise for Let’s Get Lost
“An achingly beautiful story... Reminiscent of John Green’s Paper Towns, Alsaid’s debut is a gem among contemporary YA novels.”
—School Library Journal
“Emotional and exciting. Alsaid’s unique narrating style invites the reader to join in on the ride.”
—VOYA
“With equal parts heartache and hope, this debut is a fresh interpretation of the premise that ‘home is who you’re with.’”
—Horn Book
“Told from five different POVs—a tough trick that Alsaid pulls off well—Lost balances both the quirky fun and the harsh realities of adolescence.”
—Entertainment Weekly
