Ray Stoeveâs Arden Grey is an insightful, raw YA novel about a young photographer navigating toxic relationships and how they influence her identity.
Sixteen-year-old Arden Grey is struggling. Her mother has left their family, her father and her younger brother wonât talk about it, and a classmate, Tanner, keeps harassing her about her sexualityâwhich isnât even public. (She knows she likes girls romantically, but she thinks she might be asexual.) At least sheâs got her love of film photography and her best and only friend, Jamie, to help her cope.
Then Jamie, who is trans, starts dating Caroline, and suddenly he isnât so reliable. Ardenâs insecurity about their friendship grows. She starts to wonder if sheâs jealous or if Jamieâs relationship with Caroline is somehow unhealthyâand it makes her reconsider how much of her relationship with her absent mom wasnât okay, too.
Filled with big emotions, first loves, and characters navigating toxic relationships, Ray Stoeveâs honest and nuanced novel is about finding your place in the world and seeking out the love and community that you deserve.
âReaders will see that Arden is on a painstaking path to a better her, and there are a lot of promising signs that sheâll get there.â âBulletin of the Center for Childrenâs Books - Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
