It' s senior year, and Chamomile Myles has whiplash from traveling between her two universes: school (the relentless countdown to prom, torturous college applications, and the mindless march toward an uncertain future) and home, where she wrestles a slow, bitter battle with her father' s terminal illness. Enter Brendan, a man-bun-and tutu-wearing hospital volunteer with a penchant for absurdity, who strides boldly between her worlds--and helps her open up a new road between them. Dear Universe is the dazzling follow-up to Florence Gonsalves' s debut, Love and Other Carnivorous Plants, hailed by School Library Journal as "a must-have sharp, powerful, and witty immersion into the complexities of . . . mental health. "
"Gonsalves' sympathetic and multidimensional portrait of a young woman facing major challenges will appeal to fans of John Green. "--Booklist Praise for Love & Other Carnivorous Plants Booklist Editors' Choice: Books for Youth 2018 A 2019 Rainbow Book List Selection *"A pitch-perfect take on what happens when the future you imagined doesn' t live up to expectations. . . . This genuinely funny novel about some harrowing topics manages to balance humor and pathos perfectly. Readers who connected with J. J. Johnson' s Believarexic or Sam J. Miller' s The Art of Starving will want this book, as well as the many John Green fans who crave intelligent stories that occupy both shadow and light. "--Booklist, starred review "Fans of Sarah Dessen will appreciate Danny' s relatable and realistic journey. A must-have sharp, powerful, and witty immersion into the complexities of sexual identity and mental health. " --School Library Journal "Gonsalves juggles multiple serious adolescent challenges with operatic verve--eating disorders, substance abuse, sexual awakening and orientation, mental health, grief. . . . A feel-good debut sure to interest teens looking to feel better about not feeling so great. " --Kirkus "Gonsalves realistically conveys Danny' s wide range of emotions. . . . Her most profound realization comes through accepting that she can live her life on her own terms and that she need not have it all figured out quite yet. " --Publishers Weekly "Self-deprecating, witty. . . . As funny as it is painful. " --VOYA "A hilarious, thoughtful novel of trying to figure out loving other people when it hurts, and loving yourself when it' s impossible. " --Teenreads. com "Will appeal to students who deal with anxiety and the pressures of life that many teens face. " --School Library Connection
