Points
of Departure
by Emily O'Beirne
Genre: YA Contemporary (LGBT)
Release Date: June 16th 2016
Ylva Publishing
Summary from Goodreads:In this young adult novel, to be released June 2016, best friends Kit and Liza have been looking forward to this trip forever.
Five girls, five tickets overseas. It’s exactly what they all need after the final slog of high school. But when Kit’s suddenly forced to drop out, Liza’s left with three girls she barely knows.
There’s Mai, committed only to partying. There’s Tam, who already has her doubts about leaving her sick father behind. And there’s Olivia, so miserable about screwing up exams she’s not even sure she wants to get out of bed, let alone on a plane. Meanwhile Kit’s stuck working double shifts to pay off a debt, wondering if she’ll ever get it together.
All Liza wants from this trip is to discover a new version of herself. She just hadn’t planned on doing it without Kit by her side.
And they’re all learning that travel isn’t just about the places you go, but who you’re with at the time.

About
the Author
Thirteen-year-old
Emily woke up one morning with a sudden itch to write her first
novel. All day, she sat through her classes, feverishly scribbling
away (her rare silence probably a cherished respite for her
teachers). And by the time the last bell rang, she had penned fifteen
handwritten pages of angsty drivel, replete with blood-red sunsets,
moody saxophone music playing somewhere far off in the night, and
abandoned whiskey bottles rolling across tables. Needless to say,
that singular literary accomplishment is buried in a box somewhere,
ready for her later amusement.
From Melbourne, Australia, Emily was recently granted her PhD. She works part-time in academia, where she hates marking papers but loves working with her students. She also loves where she lives but travels as much as possible and tends to harbour crushes on cities more than on people.
Living in an apartment, Emily sadly does not possess her dream writing room overlooking an idyllic garden of her creation. Instead, she spends a lot of her time staring over the screen of her laptop and out the window at the somewhat less pretty (but highly entertaining) combined kebab stand/carwash across the road.

This book will take you back to simpler times... Or at least it did me.. What it would be like to relive the younger days. Carefree and fun! This book was so easy to find myself completely drawn into it and reality of life at bay! Great read!
