We Totally Forgot About Hilary Duff's Books Until TikTok Reminded Us

Hilary Duff might be the iconic face behind Lizzie McGuireand How I Met Your Father, but apparently she's also an author. The actress' YA trilogy is back on our radar (or honestly, on our radar for the very first time because I did not know about these) thanks to TikToker @heydarianpaige's hilarious explainer video.

If you've blown through our BookTok recommendations, summer reads, and the best titles from Reese Witherspoon's book club, then you'll want to add these to your TBR, because it's apparently a matter of "life or death."

The first book in the trilogy introduces us to Clea, a photojournalist with high-profile parents. After her father disappears on his humanitarian mission, images of a strange young man begin to cloud her camera. When she meets the man IRL — and begins to form a connection with him — Clea must race against time to save herself and everyone around her.

Elixir might have been Hilary Duff's first book, but she's also releasing another adorable title this fall. My Little Brave Girl and My Little Sweet Boy are coming November 7, 2023, and use poetic text to encourage kids everywhere to dream big, be kind, and reach for the highest star.
