Tart

By: Becki Jayne Crossley

Narrated by: Sasha Desouza Willcock, Amelia Kenworthy, Joel Harper-Jackson

One entirely public mistake turns Libby’s life upside down, but the truth isn’t always as simple as it seems … A new queer slow-burn romance from debut talent, Becki Jayne Crossley, perfect for fans of She Gets the Girl and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

When a video of Libby “cheating” on her boyfriend, Dan, goes viral, her whole village turns against her. School friends become bullies, leaving rotten eggs in her locker, and the only person who will talk to her is Neha, the new girl everyone ignores.

But Dan is oblivious to the drama unfolding around him. He’s lying in a coma in hospital and worries that if he doesn’t wake up soon the secret he’s been carrying around for years will be lost along with him.

And as Neha and Libby grow closer they start to think of each other as more than just friends … Is Libby about to make her already messy life a lot messier?
