Boy Meets Hamster is the uproariously funny, sweetly romantic debut novel from Birdie Milano, this is the perfect first summer romance - with a twist.
Birdie Milano earned a first-class honours degree in Creative Writing from St Mary's University, London, before going on to complete her MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University, where she won the 2015 United Agents Prize for Most Promising Writing for Young People. Her books include the funny and romantic Boy Meets Hamster. Birdie lives in Guildford, Surrey.
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*
