This smart and charming queer YA rom-com about falling for your best friend will win the hearts of fans of Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli.

Henry Hamlet doesn't know what he wants after school ends. It's his last semester of high school, and all he's sure of is his uncanny ability to make situations awkward. Luckily, he can always hide behind his enigmatic best friend, Len. They've been friends since forever, but Len is mysterious and Henry is clumsy, and Len is a heartthrob and Henry is a neurotic mess. Somehow it's always worked.

That is, until Henry falls in love. Hard. How do you date your best friend?

From an exciting debut author comes a passionate story of growing up, letting go, and learning how to love.

About the Author
Rhiannon Wilde has been telling stories for as long as she can remember---working as a journalist, a terrible barista, and a high-school English teacher in Brisbane, Australia. Rhiannon's particular interests are caffeine, characters both real and imaginary, and the power of well-strung words to challenge and change us. Her second-person short story inspired by urban Brisbane, You Deserve Nothing, was longlisted for the Queensland Young Writer's Award in 2014. Henry Hamlet's Heart is her first novel, and won it the Queensland Literary Awards Glendower Award for an Emerging Queensland Writer in 2019.
