The debut novel from trailblazing pop star, actor and director, Hayley Kiyoko - a sapphic coming-of-age romance based on her breakthrough hit song and viral video, Girls Like Girls.

Trailblazing pop star, actor and director, Hayley Kiyoko debuts her first novel, a coming-of-age romance based on her breakthrough hit song and viral video, Girls Like Girls.

It's not that you're not like other girls. It's just that you've never met a girl like you. And then. You do. You meet her. And suddenly. The songs make sense.

It's summertime and 17-year-old Coley is alone, again. Forced to move to middle of nowhere Oregon after losing her mother, she is in no position to risk her already fragile heart. But when she meets Sonya, the attraction is immediate.

Coley worries she isn't worthy of love. Up until now, everyone she's loved has left her. And Sonya's never been with a girl before. What if by opening her heart, Coley's risking it all?
