Happy 2nd birthday to my book baby!! 🥹

I can't believe it's been two years since HOLDING UP THE SKY was released into the wide, wide world. Where has the time gone?! This debut novel of mine was a bit of an experiment, to be honest, but I'm immensely proud of what it has achieved and how it grew my confidence as an author.

If you're into contemporary YA novels about q***r kids with mental health challenges and tragic pasts and too much on their plates and who are definitely NOT pining over the new kid at school...I'd be chuffed if you gave this book of mine a whirl. 😁

We're down to the final copy of our original stock! Want to make it yours?

Back in 2022, we ordered a few boxes of paperbacks of "Holding Up the Sky" and have now sold all but one of the books. A few very minor tweaks have since been made to the interior files, so this is the LAST COPY OF IT'S KIND!!

This contemporary YA novel by Rebecca Alasdair follows 17-year-old Carter, a highly stung "overachiever" whose carefully ordered life starts spiralling out of control when he falls for the new boy at school.

If this sounds like your kind of story and you'd like to nab this last original paperback for a heavily discounted price, head to our online store (link below). Australia and NZ only, but for our international friends, you can order the book at all the usual places. 😊
