Fiction

In their debut coming-of-age novel The Wasp’s Nest, co-authors and lifelong friends Tamara Southward and Haley Crawford open a door to the constricted and elite world of Lake Owlsgrove, where best friends Avery Breckenridge and Rose Harleston find independence the summer before heading off to university.

 

Having each written over ten novels and prose collections throughout their lives, the authors have come together to create a summer read in which the female leads navigate predetermined expectations, friendship, first love, loss, and the choices that feel life-defining on the brink of new adulthood.
