Cross my heart and never lie
By Nora Dasnes
Cross My Heart and Never Lie perfectly captures the struggle of getting caught up between being a kid and being a teenager, and all the social pressure that comes with that. The main character Tuva is torn between her friends when they split themselves into two groups, girls that fall in love, and those that don’t.
This was a funny, relatable coming of age graphic novel that explores the tricky phase when you and your friends become interested in different things, start becoming more grown up, and sometimes also growing apart. It made me smile when I read it, definitely a new favourite comfort read.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has felt torn between friendship groups, worried they’re not maturing fast enough, desperate to impress a new friend or a crush, and wishes things could always be as easy and fun as making forts and playing in the woods.

Today, school felt really different from last year. Something felt strange while we waited in the hall, almost like everyone had heard a secret during the summer and now we were all standing there knowing something. Except me. I didn’t know what the secret was…
Seventh grade has split Tuva’s friendship group in two – those who fall in love, and those who don’t. Worst of all, Tuva’s best friends Linnea and Bao want her to choose a side!
But then new girl Mariam arrives, and somehow Tuva’s world changes all over again.
