This Must Be the Place

In this lively YA novel, eighteen-year-old Louisa Wade unexpectedly inherits a gay bar, The Frisky Cricket, from her late great-uncle, a beloved local football legend. Determined to preserve the bar for its vibrant queer community despite her lack of experience, Louisa faces challenges, including resistance from her uncle's grumpy ex-partner and the machinations of a new football coach intent on replacing it. As she navigates her newfound responsibilities, Louisa's growing connection with the coach’s sharp-tongued daughter, Aubrey, complicates her mission, leading to difficult decisions about legacy and self-identity.
