Description
From the Branford Boase shortlisted author of TART, comes a story of love, and other survival skills.
Map? Check.
Compass? Check.
True love? …
Golden girl Ruby's been dumped by her girlfriend for 'faking being queer'. Her plan? Charm her way onto the sixth form trip, pair up with Rhiannon for all the outdoor activities and win her back.
Teen troublemaker Sean's been accused of a crime everyone assumes he committed. Sick of it all, he'll use the upcoming weekend away as the perfect cover for his escape plan, even if that means saying goodbye to his unrequited crush, Ruby, forever.
But when the pair are matched up for orienteering they immediately get lost in the woods and, over the course of the trip, each other…
Though both are determined to keep their plans on track, they might need more than a map and a compass to navigate these feelings.
A swoonworthy romance about messy relationships, bi-erasure and staying true to who you are, perfect for readers of Becki Albertalli's IMOGEN, OBVIOUSLY and Lynn Painter's BETTER THAN THE MOVIES.

Bold, unapologetic and often laced with sweetness, Tart deftly explores self-acceptance and the pressures of being a teenager in the 21st century. I dare you not to fall in love with Libby and her journey!

Becki Jayne Crossley is the British Becky Albertalli. I absolutely adored Tart, a truly unputdownable YA novel with all the drama and chaos of teenage life blended seamlessly with small-town-queerness. Total perfection.
Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of UNDER THE MISTLETOE WITH YOU on TART
