An Evening with Brittney Morris at Midsummer Books

Attention teens, former teens, gamers, overthinkers, creative kids, competitive kids, and anyone who has ever stared dramatically out a car window while listening to a playlist that made them feel like the main character:

We are VERY excited to welcome bestselling author Brittney Morris to Midsummer Books for a special conversation and interactive event celebrating her incredible books:

SLAY
The Cost of Knowing
The Jump
This Book Might Be About Zinnia

Brittney Morris writes the kinds of books that make teens feel seen while also making adults quietly go, “Wow, okay, these kids are processing way more emotionally than we ever did.”

Her stories blend gaming, friendship, identity, anxiety, ambition, grief, internet culture, and complicated family dynamics into page-turners that somehow manage to be both deeply thoughtful and wildly readable. Which is honestly rude to the rest of us trying to accomplish things.

About Brittney

Brittney Morris writes the kind of YA novels that make teenagers feel deeply understood and adults immediately text each other, “Were we this emotionally complex at 16 or were we just eating pizza combos and watching MTV?”

She is the bestselling author of SLAY, The Cost of Knowing, The Jump, and This Book Might Be About Zinnia. Her books are celebrated for blending contemporary teen life with gaming culture, identity, friendship, grief, ambition, internet dynamics, and the emotional chaos of simply existing as a teenager in modern society.

Her stories are funny, sharp, emotionally honest, and incredibly readable, with characters who feel like real people instead of “Important YA Issue Delivery Systems.” She has become one of the standout voices in contemporary young adult fiction by writing stories that respect teen readers enough to let them be complicated, brilliant, messy, creative, anxious, hopeful, and occasionally deeply dramatic for reasons that are, honestly, fair.

Basically: if your teen says they “don’t really like reading,” Brittney Morris may be about to ruin that excuse.

The event will include:

A moderated author conversation
Audience Q&A
Book signing
Interactive creative activities inspired by Britteny’s books
Teen-centered discussion prompts
Probably at least one conversation that starts funny and suddenly becomes emotionally devastating in a productive way
