Sometimes growing up means growing apart in this queer take on As You Like It featuring first loves and friend breakups, perfect for fans of The Gravity of Us and We Are Okay, from award-winning author Julia Drake.

Celia Gilbert is the perfect friend—loyal, trustworthy, and committed to mending her best friends’ broken hearts.

She’s the reason the trio is spending the summer in Lovesick Falls, the idyllic little town where Touchstone’s sort-of-uncle’s cabin was waiting to be house-sat by three unsupervised (but totally responsible) teenagers.

After all, Celia, Ros, and Touchstone have been best friends since childhood. Sure, Celia is in love with Ros, and Touchstone was once in love with Celia — but that’s the beauty of a place like Lovesick Falls. If you fell in love, you could fall out.

Unless you can change the other person’s mind.

They started the summer closer than ever. Will living together tear them apart?

💚 The Look 💚

A bright green “The Land” tee. When I think of community and nature, I come back to EPCOT’s The Land…where nature blooms just as wildly as the emotions in Lovesick Falls.
A Collectif orange skirt with a sweet lace trim, softening the sharp edges of summer heartbreak with a hint of childhood innocence.
Cherry red with rainbow 🌈 sandals. Because love, in all its forms, is bold, beautiful, and sometimes a little painful.
Reflective Goodr sunnies, which bring the whole look together and reflecting on shared history to bring these friends to whatever their next phase is!
