Boy Meets Hamster

Today’s teens deserve the chance to see two boys kissing under the twinkling starlight of an end-of-summer dance. * Birdie Milano on Daily Express Online *
It’s a sweet, funny, moving and joyous delight of a novel, full of love and full of hope, with a great big (giant hamster-sized!) heart at its centre. It may be set on the caravan park from hell, but this beautiful LGBTQ+ read is positively heavenly. -- Simon James Green, author of Noah Can't Even
A warm, open and generous book with enormous heart, Boy Meets Hamster is genuinely laugh-out-loud funny while also effortlessly dealing with big, complex issues to do with love, family, friendship, and self-confidence & acceptance -- Maggie Harcourt, author of Unconventional
'Boy Meets Hamster wonderfully and simply 'usualises' being gay in what is a terrifically comedic and diverse story. So many important moments and such a fun read. A book I wish I could give to teenage me! -- Olly Pike, Children's Author and Creator of Pop'N'Olly
The writing is brilliant, the characters so vivid and likeable - even Margaret, who makes an excellent villain - and it made me laugh out loud several times. A really enjoyable book, and I can't wait to read what Birdie Milano writes next -- Sophie Cameron, author of Out Of The Blue
I loved BoyMeetsHamster, a fresh, modern LGBTQ+ YA novel about a tale as old as time – that first gay crush. Debut author Birdie Milano nails the internal conflicts and flashes of optimism & the lead character is a relatable, complex guy you're soon rooting for. * The Guyliner *
Funny, sweet and a great LGBT read for young adults. * Yorkshire Post *
This is an incredibly good book that you should definitely make sure you read. A diverse read with a fascinating cast of characters, this book will ultimately give you that good-feel by the end of it. * Daydreamer Thoughts *
Such a lighthearted read but with a deep strong message * Helpful Mum *
There is a strong coming-of-age feeling to this book, and teenage readers, of any sexuality, will recognise the cocktail of adrenalin, desperation and confusion that is served up by teenage love affairs * Books for Keeps *
