Written in glorious verse, THE SONG OF US is an ode to love—love that defies expectations, overcomes disappointment, and transcends grief, love that springs in our hearts like song.” - Rajani LaRocca, Newbery Honor-winning author of Red, White, and Whole

“A stunning song of first love, heartache, and the freedom of knowing yourself. Eden and Olivia will linger in my heart.” - Lambda Literary award winning author Rebecca Podos
