Det är om dig jag skriver

Det är om dig jag skriver You're the One I Write About

Last semester of ninth grade. The unwritten rules of the classroom, the hierarchies, the hallways. Eyes meeting and turning away, hands accidentally touching. Secret messages late at night. Hope growing, and bursting.

You’re the One I Write About is a concentrated and lyrical novel about the first love, betrayal, longing and daring to be yourself.

Reviews

  • “The classrooms, the school hallways, the bus stops – they all form the backdrop in Moa Backe Åstot’s intimate portrayal of a fumbling infatuation’s rising and fall. After two acclaimed novels, the Jokkmokk-based author turns to the direct voice of lyrical prose to illustrate a rocky relationship. You’re the One I Write About is a pure yet winding text about longing, love, and betrayal, cutting straight through the hierarchies of the high school.”
