I am so stoked to be able to be part of the reveal for the cover of Livingston Girls by Briana Morgan.
I connected with Briana Morgan on Twitter because of this novel. About a year ago, one random Tweet of hers happened to cross my timeline. In it, she mentioned that she was working on a novel that was like a queer, all-girls witch version of Dead Poets Society, which, as we all know, is my literal entire jam.
Since then, I have also read her novella Blood and Water, which finally got me to understand what makes a novella a novella — apologies to Dr. Petersen at SUU, but I think I was just too dumb to get it back in 2011.
So let me break that down for you once again: Livingston Girls is a queer, YA, own-voices, witchcraft, boarding-school, dark-fantasy novel — are you kidding me right now?! Sign me the h*ck up!
After an affair with her teacher, Rose’s parents ship her off to Livingston Academy, a stuffy all-girls’ boarding school. Ashamed of her past and herself, sixteen-year-old Rose just wants to chill, pass her classes, and make friends. The last thing on her mind is becoming a witch…
Until the enigmatic headmistress gives her the chance to join a coven secret from the rest of the school. Desperate to prove herself and looking for a purpose, the headmistress’s offer seems too perfect to pass up.
Rose puts on her metaphorical pointy hat and becomes a Livingston witch. She quickly discovers that the other witches don’t want her in their group—especially because she’s filling their dead friend’s space—but if they can’t band together, the witch-hunting headmaster of the boys’ school will kill them.
Meanwhile, Rose struggles to understand her growing feelings for her roommate, who may or may not hate her guts.
You know, typical boarding school stuff.
My excitement for this novel cannot be overstated.
You can find Briana Morgan on Twitter at @brimorganbooks, and you can find Livingston Girls on Goodreads.
Preorders available soon!
