Lauren Draper recommends

I adored Rhiannon Wilde’s debut novel Henry Hamlet’s Heart (UQP). It’s such a beautiful and warm novel, and perfectly balances the teenaged experience of friendship, futures, and first loves. I can’t actually keep a copy in my house, because I keep giving it away to everyone who comes to visit (my recommended reads are not optional, thanks). I’m also currently reading You’ve Reached Sam by Dustin Thao (Wednesday Books) but I’m taking my time because I know I am going to cry my eyes out at the end.

Lauren Draper is the author of the forthcoming YA novel The Museum of Broken Things (Text, June).
