Omschrijving

A stunning and uplifting contemporary YA about a young teen who explores her queerness and navigates her grief through an unlikely friendship with her deceased father's boyfriend.

When her mother refuses entry to a stranger named Richard at her father's funeral, 17-year-old Mira Howard doesn't understand why. But snooping through her father's things reveals that Richard was her father's boyfriend--a boyfriend she never knew about. In fact, Mira never even knew for sure that her dad was gay. Hoping to feel more connected to her late father, Mira reaches out to Richard without telling her mom, who is still angry from the divorce. As Mira and Richard become closer, Mira gains more and more insight into the side of her father that she never got to see.

Grieving that she never got to connect with her dad about their shared queerness, Mira asks that Richard teach her "how to be queer" while she navigates a new crush on her co-worker, which brings her out of her diary and into the real world.

But as Mira grows more confident in herself, she finds it hard to keep her relationship with Richard a secret, questioning why her family never talked about her father's sexuality in the first place. Soon Mira has to decide if she wants to keep the peace or honor her father's memory by being her truest self.

An epistolary novel told through diary entries, text messages, and book reviews, IN BETWEEN DAYS is a story about queerness, grief, and families--both ones we are born into and ones we create.
