Overview

Henry Hamlet doesn’t know what he wants after school ends. It’s his last semester of year twelve and all he’s sure of is his uncanny ability to make situations awkward. Luckily, he can always hide behind his enigmatic best friend, Len. They’ve been friends since forever, but where Len is mysterious, Henry is clumsy; where Len is a heart-throb, Henry is a neurotic mess. Somehow it’s always worked.

That is, until Henry falls. Hard. For the last person he imagined.

From an exciting debut author comes this passionate story of growing up, letting go, and learning how to love.

‘Henry Hamlet’s Heart?! What about my heart?! This book filled it to the brim, broke it and then pieced it back together again. I found myself smiling so hard my cheeks hurt, crying like a baby, giggling like a teenager and cheering like a lunatic. It’s charming, sweet, nostalgic and utterly consuming. The exact book I wish I’d had when I was young. What a beautiful read.’’
