If you loved Heartstopper and need more feel-good LGBTQ+ romance -
If You Still Recognise Me is the one for you! Elsie has a crush on
Ada, the only person in the world who truly understands her.
Unfortunately, they've never met in real life and Ada lives an
ocean away. But Elsie has decided it's now or never to tell Ada how
she feels. That is, until her long-lost best friend Joan walks back
into her life. In a summer of repairing broken connections and
building surprising new ones, Elsie realises that she isn't nearly
as alone as she thought. But now she has a choice to make... A
lyrical contemporary story about falling in love and finding
yourself in the process, for fans of THE BLACK FLAMINGO, THE
FALLING IN LOVE MONTAGE and Alice Oseman. "Cynthia So leans into
the complex fluidity of relationships over time, across generations
and communities, shaded by culture and circumstances. Elsie's story
is romantic, warm, wise, and disarmingly sincere." - Becky
Albertalli, author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda "An epic
fandom, a scavenger hunt for a lost love and an ode to cultural
inheritance - this is a wonderfully heartfelt and joyously queer
romance" - Lauren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the
Universe "If You Still Recognise Me is a poignant, perfectly formed
debut about queer love, fandom and family." - Lex Croucher, author
of Reputation "A beautiful and intricately layered tale of
friendship, fandom and finding yourself - I absolutely adored it."
- Sophie Cameron, author of Out of the Blue "Exploring the bonds of
friendship, family, fandom, culture and queer community, this is a
story about finding who you really are at the heart of all the
things you love." - Sera Milano, author of This Can Never Not Be
Real "A celebration of fannish glee, queer joy and family in all
senses of the word. If You Still Recognise Me asks what it means to
find yourself, when we are all more than a single story. I adored
it." - Kat Dunn, author of Dangerous Remedy "Beautifully written
with moments of sheer lyricism. A must-read for humans of all ages
and walks of life. I loved it so much!" - Wibke Brueggemann, author
of Love is for Losers "If You Still Recognise Me by Cynthia So is
just so SO perfect. Refreshing, relatable and raw in its honesty,
this is the book I wish I'd had as a queer teen discovering my
identity." - Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea "If
You Still Recognise Me is a moving and heart-warming story about
queer love, family, culture and fandom and So's has a uniquely
poetic style that sees beauty in the everyday and makes the
familiar feel fresh and new" - Ciara Smyth, author of Not My
Problem "This wonderful book is both a tender coming-of-age romance
and a tapestry of queer identity that spans oceans, generations,
and stages of life ... Suffused with queer wistfulness and the ache
to be known, So's debut is as intimate and revelatory as the first
touch of a first crush's hand." - Riley Redgate, author of Seven
Ways We Lie "A lyrical, complex tale of friendship, family, and all
the stories we tell ourselves - true and not - about what it means
to love" - Kelly Loy Gilbert, author of When We Were Infinite
"Cynthia So deftly weaves a story that explores queerness, love,
and relationships across distance, both geographical and time. An
accomplished debut with shades of Nina LaCour, If You Still
Recognise Me is the perfect summer-time read." - Lizzie
Huxley-Jones, author and editor "A beautiful story of cultural
identity, friendship, and the dizzying and exhilarating experience
of young love. IF YOU STILL RECOGNIZE ME is a triumph." - Ashley
Herring Blake, author of Girl Made of Stars

A Polari-Prize-winning author presents an unforgettable story about
a boy facing up to bullying - and his own truths. James loves
dancing, poetry, and Mariah Carey (not in that order, though,
because Mariah would obviously be first!). His teacher, Mr
Hamilton, is getting married to his boyfriend and it seems that
James will be part of a surprise choir performance at the wedding.
But James's father seems uncomfortable about the plan, and a lot of
other things - like any mention of Mr Hamilton, and James's
dancing, and how James talks about his new friend Joel. Meanwhile,
a different boy has been harassing James at school and calling him
gay, and it's getting worse every day. James can find relief with
his beloved Nan, she's been having worrying falls, and James can't
tell anyone, or she might be sent to a faraway care home. The
secrets are building up, and James is starting to lose his
characteristic spark. Can he find the strength to let the truth
out? A joyful, raw and timely novel about family, friends, enemies,
and being true to who you really are. Perfect for fans of Alex
Gino, A.M. Dassu, and The Boy At the Back of the Class. Ian
