Social Queue
by Kay Kerr
Description
Zoe has just finished school and started an internship at a local newspaper. Her first assignment is to write about romance, but where to begin? Zoe hasn’t been in love. She doesn’t think anyone has ever even liked her. So when her article is published and she’s contacted by a number of young men who had been interested in her in their schooldays, Zoe realises that somehow she had missed the social cues.
Social Queue is a funny-serious own-voices story about being a young autistic woman navigating the dating scene and sorting out complex and often confusing feelings on the road to finding love.
Kay Kerr’s debut novel Please Don’t Hug Me was beloved by readers for its portrayal of the life of an autistic teenager. Her second novel, Social Queue, is another heartwarming contemporary YA novel with huge appeal for neuro-diverse and neuro-typical readers alike.

The Text Publishing Company Pty. Ltd.
At Text we want to publish books that make a difference to people’s lives. We believe that reading should be a marvellous experience, that every book you read should somehow change your life if only by a fraction. We love the phrase ‘lost in a book’—that’s where we want our readers to be. You can’t get lost in a newspaper or a magazine or even a movie. But people get lost in books every day—on the tram, on the beach, in bed. Reading is what keeps the imagination supple and challenges preconceptions and prejudices. You read at your own speed, and the world you enter courtesy of the writer is yours and yours only, even if the person next to you on the bus is reading exactly the same book. We publish a very broad range of fiction and non-fiction, international and local, books for adults and young adults.
