An utterly compelling will-they-won't-they slow-burn queer romance from the author of THE GIRLS I'VE BEEN. Penny and Tate clash. Their mothers have an epic friendship that's spanned decades, deaths and divorces. So, since they were toddlers, the girls have always been... a reluctant, quarrelling twosome. But when a medical event forces their moms to move in together, Penny and Tate call a truce. There's just one little hitch: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing. It just... happens. They've never talked about it. They've always ignored each other after. But now, the girls find themselves living across the landing from each other. And when an almost kiss finally goes from almost to I am now wearing your lip gloss, they have to face the music... right? The Girls I've Been is due to be made into a feature film by Netflix.

"Soooo sweet! The love between Tate and Penny was so clear and lovely. Also, this is a book that finally talks about Therapy and how helpful it can be, as well as the effects of intense trauma and a lack of space to heal. Overall just beautifully written, would recommend "

"This book was soooo good! I definitely wasn’t expecting it to make me almost-cry as many times as it did, but wow it did. I’m so glad Tate and Penny finally got their happy ending, and I hope they stay happy. I loved this story and will definitely be revisiting it for a reread 🩵"

"I was not prepared for the emotional journey this book would take me on. Of course I loved Tate and penny but lately I’ve been really appreciative for the genuinely incredible friendships showcased in YA novels like this. It’s nice to be reminded that people will step up for their friends. "
