It Goes Like This

Ages 13 to 18

A heartfelt YA debut about four queer teens—ex-best friends and ex-members of an internationally famous band—who must reunite to rebuild their hometown after a devastating storm.

Eva, Celeste, Gina, and Steph used to think their friendship was unbreakable. After all, they've been though a lot together, including the rise of Moonlight Overthrow, the world-famous queer pop band they formed in middle school, never expecting to headline anything bigger than the county fair. But after a falling out leads to the dissolution of the teens' band, their friendship, and Eva and Celeste's starry-eyed romance, nothing is the same. Gina and Celeste step further into the spotlight, Steph disappears completely, and Eva, heartbroken, takes refuge as a songwriter and secret online fangirl . . . of her own band. Until a storm devastates their hometown, bringing the four ex-best friends back together. As they prepare for one last show, they'll discover whether growing up always means growing apart.
