Two young housemates embark on a road trip to discover themselves in this “beautiful novel about art, community and connection” (Rachel Khong) in a fractured America, by the award-winning author of The Third Rainbow Girl

What ensues is a journey into the heart of the nation, bringing the housemates into conversation with people from all walks of life—“the absurd dreamers and failures of this wide, wide country”— as they try to make sense of the times they are living in. Along the way, Leah and Bernie discover what it means to chase their own ideas and dreams, and to embrace what they are capable of both romantically and artistically.

Warm and insightful, Housemates is a story of youth and freedom—a glorious celebration of queer life, and how art and love might save us all.

Lauren Eve once again draws upon the universal feelings of love and loss whilst delving deeper into the darkness and power that lives within us all. Where ‘Graceless’ was about hope and ‘Fractured’ was about exploring one’s desires, ‘Wildfire’ symbolises the beginning of a new day.
