Book
A scatter of light / by Malinda Lo.
Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha's Vineyard with her best friends -- one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria's parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother's gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable -- for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It's the kind of summer that changes a life forever.

âFull of yearning, ponderances about art and what it means to be an artist, and self-revelation, A Scatter of Light has a simmering intensity that makes it hard to put down."âNPR
