Content: Der Titel dieser queeren, romantischen Komödie ist Programm: Starfotografin Delilah Green schert sich (meist) um nichts und niemanden. Das lukrative Angebot ihrer Stiefmutter bringt allerdings einige Vorsätze ins Wanken. Die lesbische Delilah erklärt sich bereit, die Hochzeit ihrer Stiefschwester Astrid zu fotografieren. Claire und Iris, Busenfreundinnen der Braut, wissen, dass Bräutigam Spencer ein echter Looser ist. Sie lassen die Operation "Kackstiefel" anrollen. Delilah hält sich größtenteils aus der Sache raus, merkt aber bald, dass Claire ihr keineswegs gleichgültig ist. Ausgerechnet deren Ex-Partner sieht die schwierige Beziehung der beiden Frauen im richtigen Licht.

Will Ivy find the strength and courage to follow her true feelings?Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World exquisitely enriches the rare category of female middle-grade characters who like girls and children's literature at large."

There, Ivy ends up hanging out with her classmate June, a budding poet who admires Ivy’s drawing talent. The same night, Ivy’s treasured notebook goes missing—a book where she brought all her secrets to life, including the fact that Ivy thinks she likes girls. Worse, the person who has her notebook starts leaving notes in her locker, telling Ivy she should share her secret with someone she trusts. Black ( Suffer Love ) gives Ivy the deep-thinking soul of an artist, gently examining the trauma of losing her home, Ivy’s excitement about her crush on June, and her fears that people will judge her if they discover her secret. Blake dots Ivy’s world with sensitive and knowing conversation partners, young and old, with whom Ivy shares her questions and worries. This is an emotionally sensitive and elegantly written novel about loss and the first stirrings of love. Ages 8–12. Agent: Rebecca Podos, Rees Literary.

In the aftermath of a tornado, Ivy and her family find themselves without a home and dependent upon the kindness of others. Already often overlooked as the middle child, Ivy feels even more invisible now that her family of six shares a small hotel room. What's worse, Ivy is developing feelings for another girl at school,but after hearing the way her older sister reacted when her best friend came out, Ivy doesn't know who to talk to. Filling a much-needed gap in middle grade literature, this story addresses not just the topic of a first crush, but also the invisibility frequently felt by middle children. The protagonist struggles with the disappearance of a beloved journal after a tornado and a lack of privacy while sharing one room with her entire family. She is too young to help care for her twin brothers but old enough that she is often forgotten about. Ivy doesn't feel comfortable discussing her blossoming romantic feelings with her family but is able to find a trusted adult in whom to confide. Young readers will find Ivy's challenges very real and will sympathize with her choices, both good and bad. Give to fans of Tim Federle's Better Nate than Ever or Barbara Dee's Star-Crossed .

The images are telling,there can be no doubt that the white girl with the coiling mane of wild strawberry-blonde hair is 12-year-old Ivy or that she's holding hands with a dark-haired white girl in every picture. When her drawings begin turning up in her school locker, Ivy's biggest fear comes true: someone knows her secret. The mystery person encourages Ivy to come out, but whom can she trust? Is she even ready? Blake's (Suffer Love, 2016) first middle-grade novel is characterized by rich, descriptive prose. The tornado scene is filled with breathtaking urgency as Ivy and her family run for safety, and the descriptions of Ivy's contradictory and confusing feelings capture the heartbreaking difficulty of a non-normative early adolescence filled with questions of identity and belonging. Most characters are assumed white,the black lesbian who owns the inn where the Aberdeens stay after the storm and who steps in as a surrogate mother while Ivy's own is occupied with insurance and a sick baby, is engaged to a brown-skinned Latina.Ivy's story is no mere niche-filler in LGBTQ middle-grade realism--it's a standard-setter.

Content: Lila lackierte Fingernägel sind das Markenzeichen von Grace und ihrer Mutter Maggie. Dabei könnten sie sonst nicht unterschiedlicher sein: die ehrgeizige Grace will nach der Schule Musik studieren, denn sie ist eine begabte Pianistin. Ihre Mutter dagegen ist das personifizierte Chaos und stolpert von einer schlechten Entscheidung in die nächste, ohne zu verstehen, was sie ihrer Tochter damit antut. Erst als Eva in ihr Leben tritt, glaubt Grace, sich mit ihrer Hilfe endlich aus den Fängen ihrer Mutter und der engen Kleinstadt befreien zu können. Doch als Maggie immer mehr an Bodenhaftung verliert, steht auch die Zukunft der beiden Mädchen auf dem Spiel. Jetzt ist es an Grace, sich und Eva zu retten, und endlich zu lernen, wie man liebt und wie man loslässt.

Content: " Grace, tough and wise, has nearly given up on wishes, thanks to a childhood spent with her unpredictable, larger-than-life mother. But, this summer, Grace meets Eva, a girl who believes in dreams, despite her own difficult circumstances. One fateful evening, Eva climbs through a window in Grace's room, setting off a chain of stolen nights on the beach. When Eva tells Grace that she likes girls, Grace's world opens up and she begins to believe in happiness again. How to Make a Wish is an emotionally-charged portrait of a mother and daughter's relationship and a heartfelt story about two girls who find each other at the exact right time. "

Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: March 20, 2017 If 17-year-old piano prodigy Grace’s only problem were her upcoming audition for the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, her life would be simple. But that’s far from the case. Her alcoholic and unstable mother, Maggie, has never fully recovered from the death of Grace’s father 15 years earlier, and she can’t hold a job or home long enough for Grace to feel safe. When Grace meets Eva on the beach, the attraction is instant. But as Grace learns about Eva’s tragic past and watches her mother forge a friendship with Eva built on grief, Grace’s tenuously constructed world begins to crumble as her mother sets her up to fail, both consciously and unconsciously. Blake ( Suffer Love ) skillfully assembles a complex story about the wonders of first love while exploring challenges all teenagers face, such as growing up and gaining independence. Blake allows her characters to make mistakes and reach their own conclusions without passing judgments on them, in a story written with realism and sensitivity. Ages 14–up. Agent: Rebecca Podos, Rees Literary. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 15, 2017 The indelible impact parents can make is at the heart of this relationship-driven coming-of-age novel. Grace's father died in Afghanistan, and her mother is physically present but emotionally immature and manipulative. Her best friend, Luca, was abandoned by his father, leaving his mother to hold things together for her own family as well as others'. Eva has never met her father and is struggling with grief in the wake of her mother's sudden death. A talented ballerina, Eva relocates from New York City to live with Luca and his mother, her late mother's best friend, in their small New England seaside town. She and Grace form an intense friendship that blossoms into romance. Both girls easily accept their sexuality--Eva is lesbian and Grace bisexual--as do those around them. Issues of race are naturally woven into the backdrop rather than acting as a focal point of the story, with all major characters being white apart from mixed-race Eva, whose mother was black and father is white. Blake paints a realistic portrait of Grace, a gifted young pianist who must come to terms with her deep love for an alcoholic fantasist of a mother who engages in endless irresponsible liaisons with men and sabotages her daughter's dream of attending a Manhattan conservatory. Despite the heavy topics addressed, the story never feels hopeless or depressing, as the author writes with nuance and care about her cast of admirably strong, loyal, and resilient teens who face head on the challenges life throws at them.

That's the last straw. Grace is looking for escape from the confines of her small-town life in her mother's chaotic shadow, and she finds it late at night talking to Eva. So when Grace's mom starts to horn in on Eva's own grief, Grace has to untangle her long-held feelings for her mom from her new feelings for Eva. Blake offers a painful glimpse of life with a narcissistic, alcoholic parent and a sensitive look at the complexities of grief and a growing relationship between two young women. Grace and Eva's immediate attraction and slow-building romance are well drawn, as is the way that Grace's mom's chaos intrudes on everything. Also deftly handled are the characters' multiple views of Grace's situation, all conveyed while still emphasizing Grace's perspective, which is so narrowly focused that she isn't able to pick up on the genuine concern of others. Grace is also confident in her bisexuality, and the text is clear that her more intense feelings for Eva are not due to a discovery that she is really a lesbian-a common trope that dismisses bisexuality. Eva is black, and her racial identity and how it affects her integration into both the worlds of ballet and a small New England town are less developed themes.

After a childhood filled with grief from the loss of first her mother and then her father by the time she was 10, and having felt unloved by Isabel, her stepmother, and Astrid, her stepsister, 30-year-old Delilah Green is finally making her own way in the world. Living boldly and unapologetically as a struggling photographer in New York City, Delilah keeps her hookups casual and her focus solely on her art and her own well-being. So, when Astrid asks Delilah to return to Bright Falls to photograph her wedding, Delilah can't think of anything she'd rather do less. But with a sorely needed $15,000 payday attached to the event--and guilt over her father's wishes for the family to stick together--Delilah reluctantly agrees. She expects to trudge through Isabel's indifference and Astrid's iciness until she can escape back to New York to prepare for a make-or-break showing of her work as part of a queer exhibition at the Whitney Museum. What she doesn't expect is Astrid's childhood best friend, Claire Sutherland. Claire has a busy life raising her 11-year-old daughter, Ruby, dealing with her flaky ex, Josh, and running her bookstore in town. But from the moment Claire sees Astrid's formerly gloomy stepsister all grown up, there's an instant attraction neither one can deny. Thrown together for many booze-soaked pre-wedding events--and an ill-advised plot to get Astrid to dump her horrible fiance before she walks down the aisle--the women reopen old wounds, heal past hurts, and realize just how much they have yet to learn about each other, their loved ones, and themselves. Blake captures all the complications of family, friendship, and romance with humor and heart. COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from February 1, 2022 Delilah Green is only coming back to Bright Falls, OR, to photograph her stepsister Astrid's wedding, but sparks ignite almost immediately when Delilah and her stepsister's longtime friend Claire Sutherland meet again. While they're both sure of their attraction, the pre-wedding festivities mean that their focus should be on Astrid--whether they're attending her carefully planned events or plotting to break up her engagement to a possessive misogynist. What follows is a series of fun, steamy hookups derailed by real adult life: Claire has a tween daughter, and Delilah is trying to launch her art career in New York. Can they sabotage Astrid's relationship while they build their own? This is Blake's adult debut,her experience in middle grade and young adult ( Hazel Bly and the Deep Blue Sea ) shows in Claire's relationship with her daughter and her ex. VERDICT The connection among Claire's friends and the development of Delilah's backstory add depth to a fun hometown romance, planned as the start of a series of Bright Falls-set queer romances. --Katelyn BrowneCopyright 2022 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
