About the Book:

In this fresh, sensitive, diary-style graphic novel, 12-year-old Tuva's questions about becoming a teenager are confusing-so when her first crush turns out to be on another girl, it feels absolutely wonderful--so why does it become so complicated? Perfect for fans of The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag, HeartStopper by Alice Oseman, and Jen Wang's The Dressmaker and the Prince.

 

About the Author:

Nora Dåsnes is a Norwegian writer and illustrator. Her first graphic novel, Cross My Heart and Never Lie, was immediately embraced by teen readers, librarians, reviewers, booksellers — and Alice Oseman, NYT Bestselling author of Heartstopper, who said "Reading this was like a warm hug.” It was named a New York Public Library Best Book, a Cooperative Children’s Book Center Choice and received the ALA Stonewall Award
