Vanessa is a writer, reader and generally bookish Latina from San Diego. If loving Agatha Christie is wrong, she doesn't want to be right. Vanessa’s penchant for books, travel and tea is rivaled only by her serious addictions to milk, avocado and floral lattes. When not reading books or selling them, she can be found blogging, working on her first novel or cozying up at a library.

This Riot Recommendation asking for your favorite co-written books is sponsored by Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika and Maritza Moulite.

What does a seventeen-year-old Haitian American from Miami with way too little life experience have to say about anything? Actually, a lot. Thanks to “the incident,” Alaine Beauparlant is spending the next two months in Haiti on a “spring volunteer immersion project.” It’s definitely no vacation. Under the ever-watchful eyes of Tati Estelle and her lean-in queen of a mother, she is on strict orders to finally do things right. But spending her summer hiding out in Haiti turns out to unveil more than she bargained for, including a family curse. You know, typical drama. But nothing Alaine can’t handle.

Telling a good story on one’s own is impressive enough, but sometimes two (or more!) heads are better than one! That’s why we want to know: what are some great co-written books? Shout those titles at us on Facebook and Twitter, then check back next week for a reading list of faves!
