Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko’s

Some stories arrive like a wave you didn’t see coming. This one? It’s an instant #1 New York Times bestselling debut from singer-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko, born from her breakthrough hit song and viral music video of the same name.

It’s summertime, and 17-year-old Coley has found herself alone. Again. Newly grieving the loss of her mother and uprooted to rural Oregon, she’s in no position to risk her already fragile heart.

And then she meets Sonya.

The attraction is immediate. The complications? Plenty. Coley worries she isn’t worthy of love—up until now, everyone she’s cared about has left. And Sonya has never been with a girl before. What if opening her heart means losing everything?

This is a coming-of-age romance about the brave, terrifying work of letting yourself be loved back. It’s tender and aching and hopeful, the kind of book you’ll want to read in one salty afternoon, curled up by a rainy window with the ocean murmuring just outside.

For readers who feel everything deeply, who’ve ever doubted they were worthy of love, who know the magic of a song that finally makes sense—this one’s for you.

A heartfelt LGBTQ+ love story for young adults (and the young at heart), Girls Like Girls reminds us that we are all deserving of the love we fear most.
