Synopsis

This heartfelt, poignant YA debut is a second-chance summer romance that will steal your heart—perfect for fans of Heartstopper, Some Girls Do, and It’s Not Like it’s a Secret.This summer, Elsie is finally going to confess her feelings to her longtime—and long-distance—crush. Ada’s fanfics are to die for, and she just gets Elsie like no one else. That is, until Joan, Elsie’s childhood best friend, literally walks back into her life and slots in like she never left. Like she never moved away to Hong Kong and never ignored Elsie’s dozens of emails and letters. Then Ada mentions her grandmother’s own long-lost pen pal (and maybe love?), a woman who once lived only a train ride away from Elsie’s Oxford home, and Elsie gets the idea for the perfect grand gesture. But as her plan to reunite the two older women ignites a summer of repairing broken bonds, Elsie starts to wonder if she, too, can recover the things she’s lost…With a beautifully earnest voice and a dash of fandom, this wistful and delightful novel is a love letter to queer coming-of-age, finding community, and finding yourself.

I received an eARC from Little Tiger Books in exchange for an honest review! We aren’t even a week into June and I already know I’ve found one of the best books of the summer.

Goodreads review by theresa on April 19, 2023

I don’t know where to start with this review. I’ve been asking myself this since I first read the book nearly a year ago and I’m not getting any closer to an answer. So, I guess I should just start? I loved If You Still Recognise Me. It is one of the best books I read last year and I implore you to......more

Goodreads review by Holly | The Caffeinated Reader on May 13, 2022

If you're wondering if this book is good, I started it at 7pm and I'd finished by midnight. I simply could not put it down. If You Still Recognise Me is a love letter to nerdy, queer, tumblr teens who grew up surrounded by fandom and found comfort in their little space on the internet and the friend......more
