Andromeda Books Andromeda Remembers Adah Isaacs Menken, American actress, painter and poet, on her birthday. “Good women are rarely clever and clever women are rarely good.”

Andromeda Remembers Kerry Greenwood, Australian author and solicitorm on her birthday, andromeda-books.com “Self-doubt, exhaustion, and confusion are part of the process, embrace them, and don’t stop writing to examine what you have. The world is full of people trying to perfect chapter one.”

From the author of Some Girls Do comes a YA sapphic romance about two girls from different sides of the tracks. Cass has a rule about dating summer girls—just say no. Every year the idyllic beach town Cass’s working-class family calls home is flooded with summer girls, the obnoxious daughters of the rich, who stay in their families’ summer homes, sail their yachts, and generally make things unbearable for townies like Cass. Birdie is the ultimate summer girl. She’s the daughter of a wealthy real estate developer dad and a social media influencer mom, and this summer Birdie happens to be in big trouble for accidentally crashing her boyfriend’s very expensive car. As punishment, Birdie must spend the summer with her father at the beach—but it won’t be a vacation. He’s enlisted the help of Cass, whose dad works for him, to keep Birdie on the straight and narrow, including getting her a job as a beach parking lot attendant. As the summer heats up, Cass realizes some rules are made to be broken, and Birdie just might be different from other summer girls. Soon they can’t help falling for one another … But will the love the two girls have discovered be strong enough to overcome their differences?
