What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Tart by Becki Jayne Crossley, read by Sasha Desouza Willcock, Amelia Kenworthy and Joel Harper Jackson

When your world is crumbling around you, how do you make life sweet again?

Libby’s life is turned upside down when a video of her 'cheating' on her boyfriend, Dan, goes viral the night he has a serious bike accident. Now the whole school has turned on her and her only friend is Neha, the new girl everyone else ignores.

If Dan doesn’t wake up from his coma soon, the secret he’s been carrying around might disappear along with him. A secret that will change everything. And he’s not the only one hiding things - Neha’s been crushing on Libby for months …

But when Libby finds herself falling for Neha she worries that if she follows her heart she will betray the people she cares about most. Can she discover who she really is before she loses everyone?

A heartwarming friends-to-lovers queer romance about coming out and finding yourself along the way. Perfect for fans of She Gets the Girl and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

Critics Review

A heartwarming story, bursting with queer joy, which explores the beauty of finding yourself and your people. TART tackles big themes with real heart, which is sure to resonate with YA readers in this knockout debut.
Simon James Green, bestselling, award-winning author of NOAH CAN'T EVEN and BOY LIKE ME
Bold, unapologetic and often laced with sweetness, Tart deftly explores self-acceptance and the pressures of being a teenager in the 21st century. I dare you not to fall in love with Libby and her journey!
Anika Hussain, author of HEARTBREAKER and THIS IS HOW YOU FALL IN LOVE
An explosive, twisting, thrilling, witty and fresh story full of heart.
Ian Eagleton, author of GLITTER BOY
Becki Jayne Crossley is the British Becky Albertalli. I absolutely adored Tart, a truly unputdownable YA novel with all the drama and chaos of teenage life blended seamlessly with small-town-queerness. Total perfection.
Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of UNDER THE MISTLETOE WITH YOU
