5 things you didn’t know about Harriet Reuter Hapgood, author of The Square Root of Summer
1. I wrote a book when I was 18! It was called Trailing Clouds of Glory, about a university for Biblical-ninja-spy-conspiracy-assassin-somethings? It was… not very good and remains on a floppy disc (a 90s version of a USB stick) somewhere.
2. My favourite Olsen is Mary-Kate.
3. I have a tattoo in French – the first two lines from the poem “À Peine Défigurée”, from which 1950s teen classic Bonjour Tristesse got its title.
4. Average No. of burritos consumed per week: two. I have some sort of internal guacdar for the nearest good Mexican food. Woo me with tacos and I’m yours for life.
5. For my fashion journalism MA creative project, I made an encyclopaedia of teen TV – Buffy, Dawson’s, V-Mars, The OC, Gilmores, One Tree Hill. All illustrated in felt-tip pen, natch.
Get to know Harriet even more when she takes over our snapchat 1/24 - 1/29.
This is what it means to love someone. This is what it means to grieve someone. It’s a little bit like a black hole. It’s a little bit like infinity.
Gottie H. Oppenheimer is losing time. Literally. When the fabric of the universe around her seaside town begins to fray, she’s hurtled through wormholes to her past:
To last summer, when her grandfather Grey died. To the afternoon she fell in love with Jason, who wouldn’t even hold her hand at the funeral. To the day her best friend Thomas moved away and left her behind with a scar on her hand and a black hole in her memory.
Although Grey is still gone, Jason and Thomas are back, and Gottie’s past, present, and future are about to collide—and someone’s heart is about to be broken.
With time travel, quantum physics, and sweeping romance, The Square Root of Summer is an exponentially enthralling story about love, loss, and trying to figure it all out, from stunning debut YA voice, Harriet Reuter Hapgood.
