This intensely relevant historical novel in verse follows the teenage years of the exceptionally talented and troubled poet, Simone Plath, as she rejects the restrictive expectations of American women and paves her own way. Ideal for fans of Girl in Pieces.

Simone Plath knows she was born to be remembered. She loves learning, literature, and writing, especially poetry. The problem is that she grows up in a time when women are expected to happily set aside their dreams for a husband and a home. Even in high school, Simone struggles to balance the social expectations placed on women and her ambitions for a great career. She longs to have a partner and a family but also dreams of becoming a poet. And she fears she cannot have both.

Covering her high school and university years, and capturing the many joys and sorrows as she battles mental health issues and her explosive talent, Love, Sivvy is a beautifully rendered portrait of one of the brightest poets of all time.
