Loner by Georgina Young
Lona spends her days developing photographs in the dark room of the art school she dropped out of, and her nights DJ-ing the roller disco at Planet Skate. She is in inexplicable, debilitating love with a bespectacled former classmate. She is in comfortable, platonic love with her best friend Tab. When Lona's grandfather moves into her home, she finds herself bonding with him just as she watches his health decline. When she meets a bass-playing, cello-shredding, charming-as-all-hell suitor, she is bewildered the idea of finding herself in a romantic relationship with another human being.
Georgina Young is a writer and designer from Melbourne. Her work has been published in Voiceworks magazine and Branches, an anthology published by the Bowen Street Press. Loner won the 2018 Text Prize for Young Adult Literature. It is Georgina's first novel.
