MALL GOTH
(Simon & Schuster BFYR, Sept 2023)
Rights: Simon & Schuster
Liv Holme is not exactly thrilled to be moving to a new town with her mother; high school can be brutal, even more so when you’re a fifteen-year-old, bisexual goth. Liv is determined to be who she is, bullies or not. But being the new kid and the only out student brings her a lot of unwelcome attention, and Liv flounders in her search for community. The only person who makes time for her is one of teachers, but Liv isn’t sure how to feel about the way he behaves toward her.
Thankfully, she’s found the perfect escape: the mall. There, Liv feels far away from her parents’ strained marriage and the peers who don’t understand her; she’s safely one of the crowd and can enjoy the feeling of calling the shots in her own life for once. Under its fluorescent lights, Liv sets off on a journey of self-acceptance and learns to navigate the ups and downs of high school and to recognize true friendship.
