"This quaint performance by a five-narrator ensemble will tug at the heartstrings."- AudioFile

Trailblazing pop star, actor and director, Hayley Kiyoko debuts her first novel, a coming-of-age romance based on her breakthrough hit song and viral video, GIRLS LIKE GIRLS.

It’s summertime and 17-year-old Coley has found herself alone, again. Forced to move to rural Oregon after just losing her mother, she is in no position to risk her already fragile heart. But when she meets Sonya, the attraction is immediate.

Coley worries she isn't worthy of love. Up until now, everyone she's loved has left her. And Sonya's never been with a girl before. What if she's too afraid to show up for Coley? What if by opening her heart, Coley's risking it all?

They both realize that when things are pushed down, and feelings are forced to shrivel away, Coley and Sonya will be the ones to shrink. It’s not until they accept the love they fear and deserve most, that suddenly the song makes sense.

Based on the billboard-charting smash hit song and viral music video GIRLS LIKE GIRLS, Hayley Kiyoko's debut novel is about embracing your truth and realizing we are all worthy of being loved back.

Lesbian Jesus just gave us the Lesbian Bible. Absolutely killed it.

I feel like the beginning and the end were a bit rocky, nonetheless, the best sapphic book I've ever read. It perfectly describes that kind of love in a small town and I, personally, am a big fan of popular girl x new girl haha. I used to watch the music video all the time when I was younger and still listen to the song from time to time, I've always felt it had a nice story and even though I've never related to it much, it still made me a bit more connected to the rest of the community. I was so happy when I saw that a book by Hayley was coming out and immediately got to reading and I am definitely not disappointed. :)

I've been a fan of Lesbian Jesus since the beginning. I've always loved her way of writing, so detailed, like a movie.
This story was absolutely heart-wrenching. Hayley did a good job with the innocence and self-discovery. I do feel like there could've been a little bit better of character development for the other characters and could've wrapped up a few things sooner. The end did feel a little rushed, but maybe that means there will be a sequel, a little more adult.. Overall, 4/5 stars.
