Hops Hill At Atlantic

Queer Book Group with Alex Discusses Beating Heart Baby by Lio Min Led by former Greenlight bookseller Alex, our Queer Book Group meets monthly to discuss contemporary fiction and nonfiction titles that relate to queer experience, identity, and community. For May, the group discusses Lio Min's debut Beating Heart Baby, a tender love letter to internet friendships, anime, and indie rock, perfect for fans of Heartstopper. A young adult novel, named a best book of the year by BuzzFeed, Publishers Weekly, BookPage, Kirkus Reviews, Chicago Public Library, and more—this twinned tale about the transitions between boyhood and manhood, internet confidants and IRL friends, the face in the crowd and the star on the stage, stakes and succeeds in making the bold claim: that it's characters fantastic dreams are as essential as art and love and life itself. It is "a master class in modern loss and reconnection, and in ways that are both wholly universal and deeply unique to queer and trans communities," (The New York Times).
