WOW. Adia's sophomore novel is just as grounded, real, and full of voice as her first, but with extra helpings of existential dread! I kid, I kid—watching these gen-Zers grapple with the horrors of our current capitalistic hellscape while also trying to heal, love, and care for themselves and others, is nuanced, real, and inspiring. I laughed, cried, and felt deeply seen. Adia is a talent and this book is a gift.

First of all, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy of Our Shouts Echo. The idea of a story from a doomsday prepper's perspective was intriguing, but for me, this one fell a little bit flat. Though the start of the book grabbed my attention, I had trouble setting aside my disbelief around how the school administered summer school. As we moved closer to the midpoint of the book, I found myself skimming more than reading every word, largely because I was looking for answers to two central questions. Eventually, I was able to get back into the story, but this one just didn't hit for me. It could've been the wrong moment, or maybe I'm just not the reader for this particular book. However, I do have several students who are always searching for new titles that delve into mental health, so I will present the idea Our Shouts Echo to them and see where they fall before buying.

this was such a good book! I loved the vibes and overall story and the characters were iconic!!! the writing was also really beautiful and i just overall loved it!!!!!!

What an honor to go on Niarah's journey. We get to bear witness to her realizations that the world is so much bigger, that her relationships are so much richer. Jade Adia crafts Niarah's end of the world terror in an earnest way that doesn't glorify or freak out the reader. I deeply appreciate her commitment to showing mental illness with such tenderness. Thanks to NetGalley and Disney-Hyperion for an early read in exchange for my honest review.

Wow, we really need more books like this. Adia beautifully shared the raw and difficult side of mental health in "Out Shouts Echo" while still showing the beauty and hope that life gives us. Nirah and Mac had a type of chemistry that took me back to my own high school days. This will, without a doubt, make a huge impact in my classroom library and I wish I had something like this when I was a teenager. Thanks for the ARC - I can't wait for more from this author!

This is definitely a book that tackles mental health, but does it in such an eye-opening, respectful way. There is a wide cast of characters, many of whom are fighting their own battles, and yet the reader can relate to them all on some level. Well-written and easy-to read.

This book was so stunning and poignant, and its explorations of anxiety, fear, and paranoia about the end of the world while also discovering softness and things worth living for are SO needed in today's climate. Hope is powerful, and I hope every teen who struggles with these anxieties finds their way to this book. It reminded me of IF TOMORROW DOESN'T COME by Jen St. Jude in the best possible way.
