A shy girl, a dreaming boy, and one school year that changes everything.
Get notifiedRachel was dead. She died a horrible death. She died a thousand horrible deaths. Rachel died a million, thousand horrible deaths, and then died some more. Now there was only Squid. The question was: could she live with that?
“They said he was lucky to be alive. His father just called it character-building.”
Will is fifteen — full of music, half-finished dreams, and a guilt he can’t quite set down. Rachel is a year younger and a world quieter, a shy girl forever living in the shadow of her dazzling older sister. Everyone calls her Squid.
What starts as an unlikely friendship becomes something neither of them has the words for: a first love built out of small, stubborn moments — mixtapes and dares, inside jokes and near-misses, the ordinary catastrophes of growing up.
Squid is a quirky, heartwarming coming-of-age story about two teenagers destined to love each other through every one of life’s little obstacles — and about the way the people we meet when we’re young quietly build who we become.
