The Cartography of First Love

Even the smallest worlds can hold entire universes.

When fifteen-year-old Zibby enters a psych ward for treatment of her eating disorder, the last thing she expects is to fall for sixteen-year-old Nico, a boy across the hall battling depression and anxiety. Between art projects, greenhouse afternoons, and stolen laughter in the small gymnasium, their six weeks together bloom into a fragile, unforgettable first love. But hospitals are made for leaving—and when the doors close, so does their world. But first love leaves the deepest coordinates.

Tender, raw, and unforgettable, Zibby & Nico's is a story of healing, first love, and the way certain people leave a mark that lingers long after the doors close. Love is its own geography.
