“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

It's about si I'm Heather Demetrios, author of the new YA novel, LITTLE UNIVERSES. It's about sisters and true love and the Big Questions. But mostly? It's about sisters. We love them. They drive us crazy. We can't live without them. They are the greatest love story never told. I've started this community for sisters (and besties / non-blood sisters) who want to do a buddy read of the book with their sis. I'll make sure my sister, Meghan, joins us too! I'll be answering questions, starting discussions, and do a virtual live author visit where we can hang out and talk about the book and, of course, about sisters! (You can join on your own too - we can fill in as your buddy!) Little Universes comes out on April 7th, but we can start diving in right now. I'm also happy to teach you some meditation, just like Mae does in the book! More about Little Universes: One wave: that’s all it takes for the rest of Mae and Hannah Winters’ lives to change. When a tsunami strikes the island where their parents are vacationing, it soon becomes clear that their mom and dad are never coming home. Forced to move to Boston from sunny California for the rest of their senior year, each girl struggles with secrets their parents’ death has brought to light, and with their uncertainty about the future. Instead of bringing them closer, it feels like the wave has torn the sisters apart. Hannah is a secret poet who wants to be seen, but only knows how to hide. The pain pills she stole from her dead father hurl her onto the shores of an addiction she can’t shake and a dealer who turns her heart upside down. When it’s clear Hannah’s drowning, Mae, a budding astronaut suddenly launched into an existential crisis—and unexpected love—must choose between herself and the only family she has left. Little Universes explores the powerful bond between sisters, the kinds of love that never die, and the journey we all must make through the baffling cruelty and unexpected beauty of human life in an incomprehensible universe. ...more
