Parce que tout le monde a droit à l’amour.

Nouveau lycée et nouveau départ pour Simone Garcia-Hampton : elle se fait de vraies amies, se voit confier la mise en scène de la comédie musicale de l’année et se rapproche de Miles, celui qui la fait fondre dès qu’il entre dans la pièce. Mais voilà, Simone est séropositive, et elle n’a qu’une peur : qu’on découvre sa maladie.

Lorsqu’elle commence à sortir avec Miles, elle sait bien qu’elle devra lui en parler, même si cette idée la terrifie. Mais bientôt, un message trouvé dans son casier la menace de tout révéler à l’ensemble du lycée si elle ne le plaque pas…

Simone renoncera-t-elle à l’amour pour protéger son secret ?

« Une histoire qui ouvrira les yeux des lecteurs et libérera la parole. » Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give.

« Romantique, drôle, plein d’espoir et tellement vrai ! » Becky Albertalli, Moi, Simon,16 ans, Homo Sapiens.

Ever since seventeen-year-old Josie Wright can remember, writing has been her identity, the thing that grounds her when everything else is a garbage fire. So when she wins a contest to write a celebrity profile for Deep Focus magazine, she’s equal parts excited and scared, but also ready. She’s got this.

Soon Josie is jetting off on a multi-city tour, rubbing elbows with sparkly celebrities, frenetic handlers, stone-faced producers, and eccentric stylists. She even finds herself catching feelings for the subject of her profile, dazzling young newcomer Marius Canet. Josie’s world is expanding so rapidly, she doesn’t know whether she’s flying or falling. But when a young actress lets her in on a terrible secret, the answer is clear: she’s in over her head.

One woman’s account leads to another and another. Josie wants to expose the man responsible, but she’s reluctant to speak up, unsure if this is her story to tell. What if she lets down the women who have entrusted her with their stories? What if this ends her writing career before it even begins? There are so many reasons not to go ahead, but if Josie doesn’t step up, who will?

It's too late for a Sweet Sixteen but what if Mahalia had a Coming Out Party? A love letter to romantic comedies, sweet sixteen blowouts, black joy and queer pride.

Mahalia Harris wants.

She wants a big Sweet Sixteen like her best friend Naomi.

She wants the super cute new girl Siobhan to like her back.

She wants a break from worrying--about money, snide remarks from white classmates, pitying looks from church ladies . . . all of it.

Then inspiration strikes: It's too late for a Sweet Sixteen, but what if she had a Coming Out Party? A singing, dancing, rainbow-cake-eating celebration of queerness on her own terms.

The idea lights a fire in her, and soon Mahalia is scrimping and saving, taking on extra hours at her afterschool job, trying on dresses, and awkwardly flirting with Siobhan, all in preparation for the Coming Out of her dreams. But it's not long before she's buried in a mountain of bills, unfinished schoolwork, and enough drama to make her English Lit teacher blush. With all the responsibility on her shoulders, will Mahalia's party be over before it's even begun?

A novel about finding yourself, falling in love, and celebrating what makes you you.
