Sobre este título
'BEAUTIFUL, DEVASTATING, HILARIOUS AND FULL OF LIFE' JESSICA STANLEY
'ALL KINDS OF GORGEOUSNESS' JENNIE GODFREY
'GRAY WRITES SO ACUTELY ABOUT THE MESS OF DESIRE AND THE HUMAN CONDITION' NIGELLA LAWSON
Books about friendship are not often described as love stories, but this is one.
At the age of twelve, Nell has accepted that hers will likely be a friendless existence. She's not interested in boys or makeup or competing to see who can eat the least - so fitting in at her all-girls' school feels impossible.
But then, a new girl arrives at school.
Eve has short hair like a boy's, a wicked sense of humour and an unshakable confidence that she will find her place in the world. And the moment they meet, Nell begins to rethink the whole friendless existence thing.
As they grow into themselves, Nell and Eve will love each other and hurt each other - through the chlorine-scented savagery of adolescence; long, drunken nights in share houses and gay bars; the highs and lows of parenthood.
And always, despite unspoken feelings and sexual confusion, they will choose each other. Again, and again. As friends, as lovers, as family.

Resumo da Crítica
Madeline Gray writes so acutely about the mess of desire and the human condition (Nigella Lawson)
Chosen Family is all kinds of gorgeousness, filled with brilliant, complicated characters, love, sex and laughter, along with a portrait of adolescence so accurate it almost broke my heart (Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things)
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)
Chosen Family felt like being welcomed into a world full of in-jokes, drama, comfort, chaos and love - I was completely in its thrall until the very last page. Madeleine Gray has written something very special: an epic story of female intimacy that is gripping, poignant, extremely funny and bracingly true (Lisa Owens, author of Not Working)
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)
Hilarious and devastating. I was caught in the Medusa's gaze of Chosen Family. This book is everything to me (Siang Lu, author of Ghost Cities)
I loved Chosen Family's capacious heart, and the vivacious kick of its language. Gray's generosity to her characters doesn't preclude a tough, comic astringency when it comes to revealing the foibles and posturing of her characters. Yet the mocking is never cruel: this is a novel that has a lot to say about the nature of love and of friendship. And just as importantly, a lot to say about the nature of desire and friendship. I started reading and couldn't stop till I reached the final page. It is joyously good (Christos Tsiolkas, author of The Slap)
This novel is an X-ray of the savage and terrified minds of teenage girls. Even once we're moving through adulthood, do those snarling younger selves stay trapped inside somewhere? Chosen Family is about two people reaching for love despite being burned by the world and each other. Gray is pulling all the strings: funny, devastating, shocking, heartbreaking (Bri Lee, author of Seed)
