Thanks to November 12th’s Top Ten Tuesday and some long-standing issues of my own, I’ve noticed that more and more YA cover models seem to resemble celebrities. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this planned to help get people to pick up this books? Pure coincidence? Am I seeing things that other people don’t!? Regardless, I want to share these covers with you so we can rant/rave/gripe about them together!
Where She Went by Gayle Forman
Hey, that cover model totally looks like…! Emilie de Ravin
I honestly SWORE that this cover model WAS Emilie de Ravin when I first saw the cover and Googled to try to prove it. No one confirms nor denies, but the resemblance is UNCANNY. I may still think it’s her…..
Just One Year by Gayle Forman

Also noticed by… Maggie from Just A Couple More Pages
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
Hey, that cover model totally looks like…! Angelina Jolie

The Pledge by Kimberly Derting

Okay, okay, I know we can only see part of her face, but still! Resemblance?!
Wentworth Hall by Abby Grahame

Okay, ALL I see are celebrities here. Was this intentional? Did everyone in this time period look like a famous person? I just can’t help but see the similarities!
