Here's
the Thing
by Emily O'Beirne
Genre: YA Contemporary (LGBT)
Release Date: October 19th 2016
Ylva Publishing
Summary from Goodreads:It’s only for a year. That’s what sixteen-year-old Zel keeps telling herself after moving to Sydney for her dad’s work. She’ll just wait it out until she gets back to New York and Prim, her epic crush/best friend, and the unfinished subway project. Even if Prim hasn’t spoken to her since that day on Coney Island.
But Zel soon finds life in Sydney won’t let her hide. There’s her art teacher, who keeps forcing her to dig deeper. There’s the band of sweet, strange misfits her cousin has forced her to join for a Drama project. And then there’s the curiosity that is the always-late Stella.
As she waits for Prim to explain her radio silence and she begins to forge new friendships, Zel feels strung between two worlds. Finally, she must figure out how to move on while leaving no one behind.

About
the Author
Thirteen-year-old
Emily woke up one morning with a sudden itch to write her first
novel. All day, she sat through her classes, feverishly scribbling
away (her rare silence probably a cherished respite for her
teachers). And by the time the last bell rang, she had penned fifteen
handwritten pages of angsty drivel, replete with blood-red sunsets,
moody saxophone music playing somewhere far off in the night, and
abandoned whiskey bottles rolling across tables. Needless to say,
that singular literary accomplishment is buried in a box somewhere,
ready for her later amusement.
From Melbourne, Australia, Emily was recently granted her PhD. She works part-time in academia, where she hates marking papers but loves working with her students. She also loves where she lives but travels as much as possible and tends to harbour crushes on cities more than on people.
Living in an apartment, Emily sadly does not possess her dream writing room overlooking an idyllic garden of her creation. Instead, she spends a lot of her time staring over the screen of her laptop and out the window at the somewhat less pretty (but highly entertaining) combined kebab stand/carwash across the road.
