Author Sophie Gonzales reimagines 'Grease' with a queer twist

Author and Psychologist Sophie Gonzales is re-imagining the story of Grease with her new book Only Mostly Devastated.

When Ollie meets Will over the summer break, he thinks he’s found his Happily Ever After. But once summer’s ended, Will stops texting him back, and Ollie finds himself short of his fairy-tale ending.

A family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country – Will’s school – and Ollie finds that the sweet, affectionate and comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn’t the same one attending Collinswood High. This Will is a class clown, a basketball jock and, well, a bit of a jerk.

Gonzales is a young adult contemporary author. She graduated from the University of Adelaide and lives in Melbourne, where she currently works as a psychologist. When she isn’t writing, she can be found ice skating, performing in musical theatre, and practicing the piano. She is also the author of The Law of Inertia.

If you loved Love Simon add this one to your reading list.

Only Mostly Devastated will be released in March by Hachette Australia.
