From the break-out author of The Gravity of Us comes a heartfelt coming-of-age story about finding your chosen people. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli Marty arrives in London with nothing but his oboe and some savings from his summer job, but he's excited to start his new life--where he's no longer the closeted, shy kid who slips under the radar and is free to explore his sexuality without his parents' disapproval. From the outside, Marty's life looks like a perfect fantasy: in the span of a few weeks, he's made new friends, he's getting closer with his first ever boyfriend, and he's even traveling around Europe. But Marty knows he can't keep up the facade. He hasn't spoken to his parents since he arrived, he's tearing through his meager savings, his homesickness and anxiety are getting worse and worse, and he hasn't even come close to landing the job of his dreams. Will Marty be able to find a place that feels like home?

As Far as You'll Take Me

Emma Hak-Kovacs

How long does it take to fall in love with someone — hours, days, years? It barely seems valid, these feelings that control my body and swim in my blood. The places I’ve lived, the people I’ve known, all seem temporary shelters now. Love is entirely different. It’s realizing the storm’s been raging so long you forget you’re drenched, until the sun kisses your cheeks, dried your tears, and shows you where your real home is.
