It's Complicated

Coming-of-age stories and powerful fiction about the world we live in

For older teens who want stories that reflect real life in all its messiness. These are powerful, honest novels about identity, family, love and the world we live in, with favourites like Noughts & Crosses, Looking for Alaska, The Hate U Give and They Both Die at the End. Thoughtful and often moving, they help young adults make sense of their own lives and other people's. A great choice for readers aged 15 and up who are ready for something with real depth.
