“A love song to Liverpool, to finding your people and finding yourself. This book had me wanting to hop on the next train back to Lime Street. I loved it – great, thoughtful representation with fab characters and a constantly moving plot.”

— NetGalley Reviewer, Praise for Lover Birds
“Once again, Leon Egan manages to balance humour and heart with heavier themes to create a truly wonderful story of love, friendship, acceptance and belonging. Lover Birds was a phenomenal debut, but Listen Closely really cements Egan in my mind as one of the top authors writing fantastically entertaining yet heartfelt YA stories.”
— NetGalley Reviewer, Praise for Listen Closely
“This was such a great read and a standout for me in YA. There was so much about this book that I loved; the characters, romance, LGBTQIA+ representation, classism and ADHD rep. It was all so authentically done and was meaningful to the story. I couldn’t put this down.”
— Leigh Boyle (via Waterstones), Praise for Lover Birds
“I was immediately hooked by the premise of this show, and the execution did not disappoint. Each spirit’s story is fascinating and often touching on its own, but also contributes to a solid ongoing plotline with several moving parts. I love how the scope and style of the narration evolves as Leo gets farther in their research – it’s a great example of form following content in a way that feels very organic.”
