Saffron struggles with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and is dreading autumn and winter. She took time off in her first year at university and can't afford to do the same this year if she's going to achieve her dream of being an astrophysicist. She's managed to keep it a secret from her friends - fearing that they won't want to spend time with her if they see her at her lowest - but it's getting harder. Especially when she meets Nell.
Nell - wannabe poet, autistic and proud, and lover of autumn and winter - is determined to show Saffron everything these seasons have to offer. The two grow close, and when Saffron confides in Nell, romance blooms. But with Saffron struggling to keep a lid on her mental health and Nell figuring out her own sexual identity, things soon spiral out of control.
A dual-perspective sapphic rom-com perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Alice Oseman.
Anna Zoe Quirke is a queer and autistic author and librarian from the North of England. She currently lives in Manchester with her partner, Rachael, and their very angry tortoise, Sheldon. They're at their happiest writing stories about queer and neurodivergent people finding and claiming their place in the world, exploring the literary wonders of the UK, or making a big ol' mess in the kitchen baking things for their loved ones. Their debut novel Something to be Proud Of was nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Writing.
