Description
What happened last night?
Ella can't seem to remember a single thing from the party the night before at a mysterious stranger's mansion, and she sure as heck doesn't know why she's woken up in her bed surrounded by a magpie's nest of objects that aren't her own. And she can't stop thinking about her huge crush on Madeleine, who she definitely can't tell about her sudden penchant for kleptomania. But does Maddy have secrets of her own? Can they piece together that night between them and fix the mess of their chaotic personal lives in time to form a normal, teenage relationship? That would be nice.

Reviews / Votes
Complex, flawed characters that you can't help but love. -- Alice Oseman * Author of Heartstopper * A decidedly queer adventure - full of heart, tension, beauty, and so much love. -- Tillie Walden * Are You Listening * A rambunctious, charming story... an absolute pleasure to read. -- Molly Knox Ostertag * The Girl from the Sea * Bryon's off-kilter high-school love story follows flighty Ella and her crush, cute and quiet Madeline, as they crash a series of parties in an attempt to return items Madeline pilfered. Playfully twisted heist tropes make for an energetic backdrop to this satisfying queer romance. -- Sarah Hunter * Booklist, Vol. 121, No. 21 *More details
