"Funny, contemporary and attuned to the subtle negotiations that shape friendships and first loves." -- Sydney Morning Herald "Funny, profound, and deeply true, Chosen Family is a tender story about love, identity, family, and whether it is possible to combine the three into something entirely new. I turned the pages so fast, it felt like reading a mystery, except the only mystery is the spectacular complexity of the human heart. Wow, what a novel." --Holly Brickley, author of Deep Cuts "With great wit, candor, and empathy, Madeleine Gray's Chosen Family tells a story of queer community, one where the lines between friendship and love blur, where characters try to forge new paths, sometimes stumbling gloriously along the way. Smart, moving, and funny, Chosen Family is an ode to those who reject convention in hopes of something brighter, truer, and more alive." --Thomas Grattan, author of In Tongues "I laughed, I cried, I fell in love with Chosen Family. Beautiful, devastating, hilarious and full of life.

" --Jessica Stanley, author of Consider Yourself Kissed "A passionate ode to friendship that is sharp and hilarious funny, brave and utopian, sexy but not too serious about it. Most of all it felt deeply real and true." --Niamh Campbell, author of This Happy "Whatever it is, Gray has it!" --Nigella Lawson.
