“A heartbreaking and bittersweet novel about the need for queer
joy even in the midst of the horrors of war. The ending had me in
tears.”—Malinda Lo, New York Times bestselling and National
Book Award–winning author of Last Night at the Telegraph Club For
fans of Ruta Sepetys and Malinda Lo, a heart-wrenching queer
historical YA romance set in the Swing Youth movement of World War
II Berlin Charlotte Kraus would follow Angelika Haas anywhere.
Which is how she finds herself in an underground club one Friday
night the summer before World War II, dancing to contraband
American jazz and swing music, suddenly feeling that anything might
be possible. Unable to resist the allure of sharing this secret
with Geli, Charlie returns to the club again and again, despite the
dangers of breaking the Nazi Party’s rules. Soon, terrified by
the tightening vise of Hitler’s power, Charlie and the other
Swingjugend are drawn to larger and larger acts of rebellion. But
the war will test how much they are willing to risk—and to lose.
From the critically acclaimed author of Who I Was with Her, this
beautifully told story of hope, love, and resistance will captivate
readers of Girl in the Blue Coat and Last Night at the Telegraph
Club.
