Highly engaging, completely relatable and truly empowering, I loved this book. Cleverly told from dual perspectives and two different time periods, and containing a cast of wonderfully diverse, rounded and recognisable characters, this is a gripping and truly empowering story steeped in LGBTQ+ recent history that cements the message that everyone has the right to be whoever they want and love whomever they choose. And that those things are worth fighting for. - Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.

This powerful novel speaks to the concerns of our current era, shining a light on the damage of Section 28. Much needed. Bravo Sarah Hagger-Holt! - Cath Howe, author of Ella on the Outside

A brave, defiant, life-affirming story, full of heart and hope. - Ian Eagleton, author of Glitter Boy

An empowering, eye-opening and empathy-boosting book written with great sensitivity. - Rashmi Sirdeshpande, author of How To Be Extraordinary

A heartwarming and empowering read that amplifies LGBTQ+ voices from the past and present. Another beautiful and very important story from Sarah Hagger-Holt. - Tamsin Winter, author of Being Miss Nobody

The Fights That Make Us is a thought-provoking, heartwarming wonder. - Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out?
