Best-selling author, writing professor, and founder of Queerative Writers, Steven Salvatore is all set to release his gripping new YA novel, “No Perfect Places”, a narrative exploring the intricate dynamics of grief, family secrets, and the tumultuous journey of self-discovery. A literary treat for fans of young adult fiction, the book promises a compelling exploration of family bonds, resilience, and identity.
“No Perfect Places” is an enthralling tale centered around twins Alex and Olly Brucke, whose lives take a sudden turn when their incarcerated father passes away, unveiling a transformative secret – a hitherto unknown half-brother named Tyler.
