With two bookclubs and the most important year ahead of her, is she taking too much on?

Olivia is fuming, how LGBTQ+ books have warning labels, so she wants to stop censoring and start a movement, another bookclub of friends bound by this common interest, but also to explore who you are proudly. When she heads to the library to take a book out, she realises that they have to get their parents to sign a permission slip to take books out, because a parent was disgusted by the fact her son was reading a book about two boys kissing. Her best friend Tabby is joining her and Henry for their final year in secondary. Olivia Santos, fresh from a summer of new found friends, a brand new bookclub – the Paper and Hearts Society book club, and finally with Cassie, her girlfriend. I think it will be another book where teenagers and readers will really relate to the characters and to reading with pride too. Read with Pride spoke to me in a different way, from the point of a librarian and I love that. In The Paper and Hearts Society, I found me people, I found my inner Tabby, she is my teenage self. Sometimes, when you're in too deep, it's up to your friends to look out for you. With two book clubs to run, exams to prepare for, and a girlfriend, just how long will it be before Olivia burns out? After all, creating a book club and trying to get the #ReadWithPride hashtag to get noticed is going to take a lot of energy. Luckily, she's the mastermind behind The Paper & Hearts Society book club, and she knows exactly what to do: start a new club, find ways of evading the system, and change the policy for good! Olivia is distraught - she's demisexual and knows how important it is for all readers to see themselves represented. But when a parent complains about LGBTQ+ content in one of the books, the library implements a new policy for withdrawing books. Olivia Santos is excited for her last year at secondary school. Will you be the next recruit for The Paper & Hearts Society book club? For fans of Holly Smale and Super Awkward.
