A wildly witty yet deeply profound chronicle of teenage anxiety and yearning, perfect for fans of Jesse Andrews and Robyn Schneider - in paperback. It's senior year, and Chamomile Myles has whiplash from traveling between her two universes: school (the relentless countdown to prom, torturous college applications, and the mindless march toward an uncertain future) and home, where she wrestles a slow, bitter battle with her father's terminal illness. Enter Brendan, a man-bun-and tutu-wearing hospital volunteer with a penchant for absurdity, who strides boldly between her worlds-and helps her open up a new road between them. Dear Universeis the dazzling follow-up to Florence Gonsalves's debut, Love and Other Carnivorous Plants, hailed bySchool Library Journalas "a must-have sharp, powerful, and witty immersion into the complexities of . . . mental health." | Dear Universe by Florence Gonsalves, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
