What to expect
“Startlingly funny, sad and hopeful, with a splendidly forthright heroine, this coming-of-age YA romance looks tenderly at sorrow and self-discovery.” Guardian
Get ready to meet a truly one-of-a-kind heroine: Connie Moore.
A beautifully written coming-of-age YA romance, perfect for fans of John Green, Alice Oseman, Stephen Chbosky and Jennifer Niven.
Connie Moore has never failed at anything. That is until the Royal Academy of Music decide her piano playing isn’t good enough and she finds herself pursuing her back-up plan: moving into student halls to study English Literature. With her grandmother piling on the pressure and her father’s absence weighing on her, she knows she has to stay focused this year – mediocrity must be avoided at all costs.
Just across the corridor, Music Production student Charlotte Owen has other ideas. Sweet, sociable and not a girl who takes no for an answer, Charlotte drags Connie determinedly into university life. As an unlikely friendship blossoms between them, Connie begins to wonder if there’s something more to the way she feels about Charlotte – and, even more terrifyingly, whether there’s something more to the way Charlotte feels about her.
But Charlotte isn’t the kind of person you can hold on to forever. And Connie might have to consider whether the life that Charlotte has built for her is one that she can sustain alone.
Caitlin Devlin's exquisite eye for detail perfectly captures a particular moment of adolescence, effortlessly moving between hilarious, laugh-out-loud writing on one page to heartbreak and poignancy on the next.
With an irresistible voice and an absolutely one-of-a-kind heroine, you'll fall in love with A Song I Wrote for Charlotte from the very first page – a perfect coming of age debut celebrating difference, self-discovery, and LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent identities.
