Julia Drake’s standalone novels are set in coastal communities and feature young characters dealing with questions of identity and belonging. The Last True Poets of the Sea (2019) takes place in a Maine town where the heroine uncovers a local shipwreck and a romance. Lovesick Falls (2025) continues Drake’s interest in setting stories in places where the landscape matters as much as the characters.

Both books are aimed at young adult readers looking for contemporary fiction with queer representation and emotional depth. Drake writes about family, mental health, and first love with a specificity that grounds the stories in real feelings.
