Flipside combines the intimate and raw writing style of Coco Mellor’s Blue Sisters and the shifting emotional states of Stephen Chbosky’s Perks of Being a Wallflower with the witty and humorous dialogue of Adam Silvera’s They Both Die at The End. Flipside is a multi-POV coming of age story opening and ending with Kit, a non-binary teenager who is a witty drug addict with a difficult and confusing homelife. Their addiction leads them to be institutionalized with other teens who have their own internal demons to slay. Kit makes unlikely and intense  friendships with the other tormented teens while they’re locked away together. When the group is finally released from their medical prison they’re faced with the same issues that put them in there in the first place. My novel is a snapshot of these kids' lives and what they do together to attempt to grow as budding adults while their environments remain stagnant and traumatic.
