Synopsis

This queer take on As You Like It features first loves, friend breakups and madcap mix-ups, 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?

I love a coming of age story centered around a tight knit group of friends and all the complexities that come with that time in life and Lovesick Falls absolutely delivered.

Got an arc from work! Last True Poets is a fav of mine so I was so excited when my store got the arc in of Drake’s newest, and my god does she know how to write Big Feelings. This was a lot more melancholy than I was expecting it to be and it didn’t go where I thought it would, but that’s also on me......more

Personally biased but savored this despite it being a fast read. I would read even more of the Celia, ros and touchstone chronicles or simply a series on the setting of lovesick falls. I loved the point of view glimpses for Ros and wanted more of them!......more
