Published in August 2020 is this book by Christine Heppermann, for which I made this cover using just ink on paper for Greenwillow Books, USA.

It’s a YA story told in prose, an unusual format which lends the book a slightly magical, wistful atmosphere, despite dealing with some heavy topics — secrets, regret, mistakes, break-ups.

Unusually, although I suggested seven or eight different roughs, this cover went to press almost completely unaltered from the rough that was chosen. Always a lovely thing to happen!
