No-one writes YA like Josh Silver. Not a huge YA fan but every book of his I've read has been 5 stars.
Bonkers plots, beautiful characters, twists, tears, audible giggles... it had it all.
LOVE his writing.

Reading this right now, I've read both Happy Head and Dead Happy (both by Josh) and adored both... I just got to page 157 and had to put my kindle down and take a second.
I can't WAIT to see where this goes.
I fucking LOVE Josh' writing and characters.

Book 21 of 2025 #Traumaland by
#JoshSilver. This is really so good I will be reading Josh’s other books. It’s the June book for #QueerLitUK #BookClub, will be fun to discuss on Wednesday. 📕 🌈

Cover of Josh Silver’s novel, Traumaland. The main image is a mean-looking pink rabbit wearing headphones.

The cover of William Hussey’s novel, Outrage. Two young men face each other with rainbow vectors behind them.

Haven’t posted about books in a while. Here are two excellent, dystopian queer novels. Both have teen protagonists, but they’re very suitable for older readers (but no spice, if that’s your preference).

Here’s my review👇

»Die Vergangenheit ragt schmerzlich in unsere Gegenwart hinein, die Naziverbrechen finden heute ein grausames Echo in rassistischen Gewalttaten, aber auch in den traumatischen Erfahrungen von Minderheiten.«

A bookseller who nearly missed her train stop as she was far too engrossed in Traumaland by Josh Silver! One of our most anticipated YA books of the year!

Traum(a)land Geflüchtete brauchen oft dringend Therapie, bekommen sie aber fast nie. Das ist gefährlich – für sie selbst und andere.

#traumaland - Ich freue mich heute für die @unoflucht.bsky.social beim 20. Jubiläum des #ZentrumÜberleben in Berlin (@ZentrumUE) dabei sein zu dürfen. Zur großartigen Arbeit des #ZentrumÜberleben passt die Recherche von @correctiv_org : correctiv.org/aktuelles/fl... -

Traum(a)land Geflüchtete brauchen oft dringend Therapie, bekommen sie aber fast nie. Das ist gefährlich – für sie selbst und andere.

In Deutschland leben 3,26 Mio Geflüchtete. Gut 1 Mio von ihnen mit psychischen Krankheiten.

Nur ein Bruchteil bekommt Behandlung.

Viele werden zur Gefahr für sich selbst. Manche für andere. Mit @gabrielakeller.bsky.social habe ich dazu recherchiert. #traumaland

correctiv.org/aktuelles/fl...

Rund eine Million psychisch kranker Flüchtlinge in Deutschland Mindestens jeder dritte Asylsuchende ist seelisch krank, doch kaum einer erhält Therapie. Ein gefährliches Systemversagen.

1 Mio. Geflüchtete im Land psychisch krank – und kaum einer erhält Therapie. Das zeigt unsere aktuelle @correctiv.org- Recherche #traumaland.

Wir haben

gefragt, wie das mit seiner These vom "Pull-Faktor" medizinische Versorgung zusammen passt. ⤵️
