About this listen

Short-listed, Golden Crown Literary Awards, 2024

This program is read by an all-queer cast: the author, Hayley Kiyoko; Natalie Naudus; Malia Pyles; Katie Gavin; and Brandon Flynn.

"This quaint performance by a five-narrator ensemble will tug at the heartstrings."—AudioFile

Trailblazing pop star, actor and director, Hayley Kiyoko debuts her first novel, a coming-of-age romance based on her breakthrough hit song and viral video, GIRLS LIKE GIRLS.

It’s summertime and 17-year-old Coley has found herself alone, again. Forced to move to rural Oregon after just losing her mother, she is in no position to risk her already fragile heart. But when she meets Sonya, the attraction is immediate.

Coley worries she isn't worthy of love. Up until now, everyone she's loved has left her. And Sonya's never been with a girl before. What if she's too afraid to show up for Coley? What if by opening her heart, Coley's risking it all?

They both realize that when things are pushed down, and feelings are forced to shrivel away, Coley and Sonya will be the ones to shrink. It’s not until they accept the love they fear and deserve most, that suddenly the song makes sense.

Based on the billboard-charting smash hit song and viral music video GIRLS LIKE GIRLS, Hayley Kiyoko's debut novel is about embracing your truth and realizing we are all worthy of being loved back.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

Critic reviews

"Musician Kiyoko crafts a pitch-perfect tale about a grieving teen in 2006 grappling with first love in this touching debut, inspired by the viral music video of the same name...[A] powerfully romantic read."—Publishers Weekly

Editorial Review

What you won’t do for love
Multihyphenate Hayley Kiyoko’s trajectory and creative prowess fascinates me: She’s a pop star, actress, social media sensation, director and now we can add author to the list. Her debut YA novel, based on the hit song she penned of the same name, covers grief, longing, and belonging in a multifaceted yet approachable way. Coley, who is voiced by Kiyoko, is facing devastating loss and seismic shifts in her world when she meets and falls for Sonya, a confident, popular girl in the new town she never wanted to move to. Set in the early aughts, the AIM messages and Live Journal entries add a fun nostalgic touch. This coming-of-age story about losing and finding yourself in formative relationships delivers. Get lost in this listen this summer. —Kelley S., Audible Editor

Perfect

I don’t write reviews, but I cannot put into words what this book made me feel. It’s just perfect. Hayley Kiyoko always had a way with words and her poetic debut novel further solidifies this. Sure parts of the storyline could have been flushed out more, but I don’t think it was necessary at all. I related to this novel way too much: the instant connection, gay panic, first love, grief, fear, heartbreak and acceptance…I wish I had it in 2006 when I was 17.

Amazing!!!

I had high expectations, since the song and the music video were so great, and not only were they met they were exceeded! I wish I had this book when I was younger. I also loved that I was transported to the early 2000’s. The story telling was amazing and I felt like I got to know and care about not just our main girls but the other characters as well. Definitely recommend this book.

sweetest story.

I love the writing in this book. I completely fell into the story. I give this book 5 stars because I immediately listened to it again. I want to savor every moment. there were parts that I rewinded just so I could feel the emotions again. Excellent writing. I can't wait for the next book. Thank you Hayley for writing this novel.

Incredible content and realistic narration.

I’ve been a fan of Hayley Kiyoko for years. I was excited for this book, but I had no idea how much I needed to hear it. She did a wonderful job of painting the background story to her music video, but there was so much more to it than that. She included different characters that were in different places with finding themselves and showed character development for all of them. I cannot say enough good things about GLG. The artist that changed my life when I discovered this song and music video has done it again.

Ready for a Netflix Series

Okay Hayley… that was beautiful. For those who have gone through very similar les situations, I know you felt this as I did. I was able to picture it all as I listened. Having Lesbian Jesus read us a truly queer perfect story was everything (and hearing that reference made me giggle). It’s time for Netflix to grab this as a series! Well done Hayley, well done!

The queer love story we needed

This story is a healing experience for queer millennials! I laughed, cried, and cheered!
It's everything I hoped it would be, and more!
The poetic way she describes her feelings is so validating to hear as a girl loving girl. (who was also on aim in 2006)
Listening to this audiobook is truly like hearing the gay gospel from lesbian Jesus herself!
I only wish we could have a sequel...
