Being Eve

A funny, heartfelt coming-of-age graphic novel about ADHD, autism, friendship, first crushes, and growing up neurodivergent.

Some people fit together perfectly - just ask Eve and her best friend, Sasha. When the rest of the world is confusing, frustrating, and the absolute worst, Eve and Sasha know they can count on each other.

Especially when the school year brings the arrival of a new friend, Zack (who is definitely not becoming more than a friend), and a whole lot of problems for Eve and Sasha. Why is it suddenly so hard to fit in? When did 'friends' stop being friends? And what are Eve and Sasha supposed to do when life just seems to get harder and harder.

PRAISE FOR BEING EVE

'I can imagine Being Eve doing for neurodivergent representation what Heartstopper has done for queer representation. Both use the graphic novel format to make space for young people to see themselves in stories about identity, relationships and growing up.'
