Love beyond the fairytale

Sixteen-year-old Chloe measures romance against the happily-ever-after she sees in her parents’ relationship. Told through intimate vignettes, her account brings together the awkwardness of early romantic discovery, heartbreak, friendship and questions about her own queerness. The book’s central thread is Chloe’s growing sense that love and life are not fixed in advance, and that imperfections belong in the picture too. Lady Gaga is also part of this coming-of-age portrait.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about first love and growing up.
  • Readers seeking young adult fiction that explores bisexuality and queer self-discovery.
  • Readers interested in vignette-based stories about friendship, heartbreak and romantic expectations.

Book overview

Sixteen-year-old Chloe's life goal is to find her soulmate and live happily ever after, just like her parents. But every time Chloe falls in love, it's not the fairytale she dreams of. Through a series of intimate vignettes, Chloe chronicles making out with tongue, the horror of not knowing how, the clumsiness of discovery and other basic truths about love, including the harsh realities that the person who is most perfect for you will either move to Tokyo or be gay; that your first true love will shatter your dreams, and-surprise, you might even be a little queer, yourself!

Yet through it all, Chloe discovers that life, love and the stars are not necessarily pre-destined and that regardless of the fairytales, imperfections are what make life so interesting.

A joyous ode to heartbreak, friendship, and Lady Gaga, Flirting With Glowsticks was longlisted for the Santa Fe Writers Project 2022 Literary Awards.
