Book published by Scholastic Inc.
Audiobook published by Scholastic Audio

From the marvelous author of Heartstopper comes an exceptional YA novel about discovering that it's okay if you don't have sexual or romantic feelings for anyone . . . since there are plenty of other ways to find love and connection.

This is the funny, honest, messy, completely relatable story of Georgia, who doesn't understand why she can't crush and kiss and make out like her friends do. She's surrounded by the narrative that dating + sex = love. It's not until she gets to college that she discovers the A range of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum -- coming to understand herself as asexual/aromantic. Disrupting the narrative that she's been told since birth isn't easy -- there are many mistakes along the way to inviting people into a newly found articulation of an always-known part of your identity. But Georgia's determined to get her life right, with the help of (and despite the major drama of) her friends.

I had been messing around with these chords for about a year, until I was writing some lyrics and thought why not try them out with these chords and after that the song really came together. Throughout the whole track it's just the same chords being played in different ways

Desolate Misery

The second novel by the phenomenally talented author of Solitaire, Alice Oseman – the most talked-about YA writer right now. 

 What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?

Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret – not even the person she is on the inside.

But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.

Caught between who she was and who she longs to be, Frances’ dreams come crashing down. Suffocating with guilt, she knows that she has to confront her past…
She has to confess why Carys disappeared…

Meanwhile at uni, Aled is alone, fighting even darker secrets.

It’s only by facing up to your fears that you can overcome them. And it’s only by being your true self that you can find happiness.

Frances is going to need every bit of courage she has.

A YA coming of age read that tackles issues of identity, the pressure to succeed, diversity and freedom to choose, Radio Silence is a tour de force by the most exciting writer of her generation.

For fans of Girl, Interrupted, Thirteen Reasons Why, and All the Bright Places comes a novel Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything, calls "a haunting, beautiful, and necessary book that will stay with you long after you've read the last page." &#160; &#160;&#160; Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she&rsquo;s already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she&rsquo;s learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don&rsquo;t have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. &#160;&#160; Every new scar hardens Charlie&rsquo;s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge. &#160; A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow's debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It&rsquo;s a story you won&rsquo;t be able to look away from. "Equal parts keen-eyed empathy, stark candor, and terrible beauty. This book is why we read stories: to experience what it's like to survive the unsurvivable; to find light in the darkest night."-Jeff Zentner, author of The Serpent King "Raw, visceral, and starkly beautiful, with writing that is at times transcendent in its brilliance. . . . An unforgettable story of trauma and resilience."--Kerry Kletter, author of The First Time She Drowned "A breathtakingly written book about pain and hard-won healing . . . I want every girl to read Girl In Pieces."-Kara Thomas, author of The Darkest Corners &ldquo;A&#160;Girl, Interrupted&#160;for a new generation&hellip;.The story of the mad girl is ultimately a story about being a girl in a mad world, how it breaks us into pieces and how we glue ourselves back together."&mdash;Melissa Febos, author of&#160;Whip Smart&#160;and Abandon Me&#160; &#160; &ldquo;Dark, frank, and tender, Girl in Pieces keeps the reader electrified for its entire journey. You&rsquo;re so uncertain if Charlie will heal, so fully immersed in hoping she does.&rdquo;&mdash;Michelle Wildgen, author of Bread and Butter and You&rsquo;re Not You "Girl in Pieces has the breath of life; every character in it is fully alive. Charlie Davis' complexities are drawn with great understanding and subtlety."-Charles Baxter, author of National Book Award finalist The Feast of Love "Charlie Davis has been damaged and abused after several years of living on the streets, but she is fiercely resilient.&#160; Though it will appeal to readers of Ellen Foster, Speak, and Girl, Interrupted, Girl in Pieces is an entirely original work, compulsively readable and deeply human."-Julie Schumacher, author the New York Times bestseller Dear Committee Members "In Glasgow&rsquo;s riveting debut novel, readers are pulled close to Charlie&rsquo;s raw, authentic emotions as she strains to make a jagged path through her new life. Love and trust prove difficult, and Charlie&rsquo;s judgment is not well honed, but her will to survive is glorious."&mdash;Booklist, Starred review "[Readers] will find themselves driven to see Charlie&rsquo;s story through. They will better understand a world that often makes no sense to outsiders. Glasgow&rsquo;s debut novel is a dark read, but the engaging writing will win an audience for [Glasgow]."-VOYA, Starred review "Heartbreaking and thick with emotion,...[Girl in Pieces is] for avid fans of Jennifer Niven&rsquo;s All the Bright Places or Susanna Kaysen&rsquo;s Girl Interrupted."-SLJ

The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman – one of the most authentic and talked-about voices in contemporary YA. 

 It was all sinking in. I’d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?
 
Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush –  but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day.
 
As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia’s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ‘teenage dream’ is in sight.
 
But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic –  Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.
 
Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along?
 
This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn’t limited to romance.
