Repeating Year 13 was supposed to fix everything. It did not fix everything. But supernovas create as well as destroy. The short version: Nate + Luke = Nuke = BOOM! A-level exams ruined, and school suggesting we rewind and try again. It's a simple experiment in theory: change the inputs, get better outputs. Luke had shifted from constant to unknown, a glittery question mark. Was he the change I needed to make? Enter Preston, with his velvety calm and his don't-say-adorable ears and his own complications. Someone from his past unable to let go. Another variable to manage, somehow. Some orbits, it turns out, are unstable. Apply the right forces in the right places, and you can fix them. But if you get it wrong, you can blow everything apart. _Unstable Orbits is a queer coming-of-age comedy-drama about love, found family and mental health. It's packed with sharp humour and heartfelt moments, plus a little light physics. Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Simon James Green, and for everyone who loved Heartstopper and Sex Education. "The best YA novel I read this year" "Nate is one of the most relatable characters that I've personally read" "This is an amazing book … I fell in love with so many of the characters" "I didn't want the story to come to an end"
