From debut author Lio Min comes BEATING HEART BABY, a tender love letter to internet friendships, anime, and indie rock, perfect for fans of HEARTSTOPPER
When Santi arrives in Los Angeles, he hopes he can move past the loss of the childhood internet friend he'd known only as Memo. And in his new high school's marching band, Santi gets a taste of the community he's always longed for. Even the clashes with his section leader, Suwa, lead to Suwa opening up to Santi first as a friend, then something more. But when Suwa gets a shot at the rock star life he's always dreamed of, the very thing that drew them to each other--a shared devotion to art--tests their budding relationship.
