Win a signed copy of Let Them Stare by Jonathan Van Ness and Julie Murphy

We’re not being dramatic (okay, maybe a little), this is THE book of the summer. And guess what? We’ve got a SIGNED copy with your name on it. 

To celebrate the UK release of Let Them Stare by the absolute powerhouse duo Jonathan Van Ness (Queer Eye icon, self-care advocate, and all-around ray of sunshine) and Julie Murphy (Dumplin’, Pumpkin, and queen of heartwarming YA), we’re giving away a SIGNED edition of their brand new novel.

This is a story about small towns, big dreams, and living boldly, even when the world wants you to shrink. Told through the voice of a gender-nonconforming teen who feels stuck in their stifling hometown, Let Them Stare is part queer coming-of-age, part ghost story, and all heart. Oh, and did we mention there’s a glamorous drag queen ghost from the 1950s named Rufus? 

It’s a story about finding your people, rewriting your narrative, and learning to take up space unapologetically.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Jonathan and Julie or this is your first time stepping into their world, trust us: Let Them Stare is going to live rent-free in your head (and your heart).

We’ve got 3 copies up for grabs, to be in with a chance, follow the instructions in the IG post below.
