The Ampersand Prize-winner Erin Gough delivers a heart-warming debut novel about queer romance, crap parents & finding your feet when life gets messy.  

Seventeen-year-old Delilah drops out of high school when her romance with another girl goes horribly wrong and the whole school turns on her. Preferring chaos to bullying, Del makes it her mission to save her dad's crumbling café, the Flywheel, while he 'finds himself' overseas. 

 

Accompanied by her charming troublemaker best friend Charlie, Del sets out to save the cafe, keep Charlie out of prison, and maybe get a date with Rosa, the beautiful flamenco dancer from across the road. But when life is messy enough as it is, can girl-on-girl romance ever have a happy ending? 

  A beloved #LoveOzYA novel about how to be heartbroken, how to fall in love, and how to wrestle with problems that are (almost) too big.

Reviews for The Flywheel

‘[The Flywheel’s] got what I love in novels; great characters, relationships, a strong funny voice and a great sense of place.’ – Melina Marchetta, author of Looking for Alibrandi ‘Gough’s book is tough and textured, and it doesn’t shy away from exploring the acute awkwardness that comes with trusting your true self to others.’ – Sydney Morning Herald ‘Eminently readable prose; a relatable narrator; and a realistic, grounded lesbian romance will leave readers cheering for Delilah to find her way.’ –Booklist ‘Celebrates individuality and community.’ – Australian Book Review
