The Lesbiana's Guide To Catholic School

By Sonora Reyes | Paperback | 1 June 2022

---

"Sonora Reyes' debut YA novel is a witty and playful queer coming of age tale, a story about bravery, love and self-acceptance. Reyes astutely and sensitively addresses the intersectionality of queerness, through issues of racism, immigration and mental health, meanwhile including some of the most diverese representation I have seen in YA! More than a romance, it is sure to provide comfort to queer teens who are yet to hear their stories told. This is a perfect read for lovers of The Miseducation of Cameron Post, We Are Okay and One Last Stop."

The Prophets

By Robert Jones Jr. | Paperback | 25 January 2022

---

"It’s hard to believe The Prophets is a debut: it’s such an ambitious and profoundly moving novel that seems as if it must be the culmination of a lifetime’s worth of work. Robert Jones, Jr. gives us poetry and beauty in his characters, and exquisite prose in a devastating, powerful and important novel that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading."
