"Perfectly wonderful.” —Becky Albertalli, New York Times–bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda In Sophie Gonzales' Perfect on Paper, Leah on the Offbeat meets To All the Boys I've Loved Before: a bisexual girl who gives anonymous love advice to her classmates is hired by the hot guy to help him get his ex back Her advice, spot on. Her love life, way off. Darcy Phillips: • Can give you the solution to any of your relationship woes—for a fee. • Uses her power for good. Most of the time. • Really cannot stand Alexander Brougham. • Has maybe not the best judgement when it comes to her best friend, Brooke...who is in love with someone else. • Does not appreciate being blackmailed. However, when Brougham catches her in the act of collecting letters from locker 89—out of which she’s been running her questionably legal, anonymous relationship advice service—that’s exactly what happens. In exchange for keeping her secret, Darcy begrudgingly agrees to become his personal dating coach—at a generous hourly rate, at least. The goal? To help him win his ex-girlfriend back. Darcy has a good reason to keep her identity secret. If word gets out that she’s behind the locker, some things she's not proud of will come to light, and there’s a good chance Brooke will never speak to her again. Okay, so all she has to do is help an entitled, bratty, (annoyingly hot) guy win over a girl who’s already fallen for him once? What could go wrong?

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets Clueless in this boy-meets-boy spin on Grease A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection “Only Mostly Devastated is the kind of book I wish existed when my kids were younger—a charming, funny, laugh-out-loud teen romance that reminds all readers love comes in a multitude of flavors, and they are ALL sweet.” —Jodi Picoult, New York Times–bestselling author of Small Great Things and A Spark of Light “A delightful, heartwarming, heartrending story about family, love, friendship, and living your most authentic life. I couldn't put it down.” —New York Times–bestselling author Sandhya Menon Will Tavares is the dream summer fling—he’s fun, affectionate, kind—but just when Ollie thinks he’s found his Happily Ever After, summer vacation ends and Will stops texting Ollie back. Now Ollie is one prince short of his fairytale ending, and to complicate the fairytale further, a family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country. Which he minds a little less when he realizes it’s the same school Will goes to...except Ollie finds that the sweet, comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn’t the same one attending Collinswood High. This Will is a class clown, closeted—and, to be honest, a bit of a jerk. Ollie has no intention of pining after a guy who clearly isn’t ready for a relationship, especially since this new, bro-y jock version of Will seems to go from hot to cold every other week. But then Will starts “coincidentally” popping up in every area of Ollie’s life, from music class to the lunch table, and Ollie finds his resolve weakening. The last time he gave Will his heart, Will handed it back to him trampled and battered. Ollie would have to be an idiot to trust him with it again. Right? Right. ~~~ "Only Mostly Devastated [is] an instant hit and Sophie Gonzales one YA author to watch.” —Julia Lynn Rubin, author of Burro Hills

“Wickedly funny [and] searingly sexy.” —Kelly Quindlen, author of She Drives Me Crazy

It’s been two years since Maya's ex-boyfriend cheated on her, and she still can’t escape him: his sister married the crown prince of a minor European country and he captured hearts as her charming younger brother. If the world only knew the real Jordy, the manipulative liar who broke Maya’s heart.

Skye Kaplan was always cautious with her heart until Jordy said all the right things and earned her trust. Now his face is all over the media and Skye is still wondering why he stopped calling.

When Maya and Skye are invited to star on the reality dating show Second-Chance Romance, they’re whisked away to a beautiful mansion—along with four more of Jordy’s exes— to compete for his affections while the whole world watches. Skye wonders if she and Jordy can recapture the spark she knows they had, but Maya has other plans: exposing Jordy and getting revenge. As they navigate the competition, Skye and Maya discover that their real happily ever after is nothing they could have scripted.

The Law of Inertia

Tell Me More, Tell Me More

A fanfic writer brings her favorite TV character to life in this friends-to-enemies-to-lovers novel full of humor and heart. Ivy Winslow has the house to herself for a week while her parents are away. She’s planning to use this newfound freedom to binge-watch her favorite fantasy TV show, H-MAD, and hang out with her best friend, Henry. She’ll also have to avoid her former best friend-turned enemy (and neighbor), Mack. But things quickly go awry when Ivy wakes up to find Weston, the gorgeous, very fictional main character of H-MAD in her bedroom, claiming to be her soul mate. Ivy realizes that her fanfic writing has somehow brought Weston as she’s imagined him to life. But it turns out that the tropes she swoons over in her stories are slightly less romantic in reality, and her not-so-fictional crush is causing some real-world problems. To figure out why Weston is here and what to do with him, Ivy decides to team up with Henry and (against her better judgment) Mack. But with Mack back in her life, Ivy starts to wonder if Weston, her “perfect guy”, is the one who’s truly perfect for her . . . or if that was someone else all along.

Fica Entre Nós

"SATURDAY ES LA BOYBAND DEL MOMENTO. Y sus integrantes, Ruben, Zach, Angel y Jon, son los dueños del corazón de todo el país. Pero, tras bambalinas, el peso de la fama los está aplastando y la relación idílica que tienen frente a las cámaras no hace más que resquebrajarse. Para Ruben es especialmente difícil, porque el precio del estrellato lo obliga a permanecer en el clóset. Y es en Zach en quien confía para desahogarse. Durante una gira por Europa, su amistad, cada vez más cercana y codependiente, empieza a tomar tintes románticos. Pero, cuando se sienten preparados para contárselo al mundo, lo comprenden: nadie va a apoyarlos. SI SE DESCUBRE, PERDERÁN A SUS REPRESENTANTES. SI SE DESCUBRE, SERÁN LA DECEPCIÓN DE SUS FANÁTICOS. SI SE DESCUBRE, PODRÍA SER EL FIN DE SATURDAY. En un mundo en el que la fama y el fanatismo tienen más peso que las emociones reales, ¿cómo podrán ser ellos mismos?"

Si nos descubren

Only mostly devastated

Amerykański zespół popowy Saturday właśnie kończy część trasy koncertowej, przed nim kolejne europejskie przystanki: Londyn, Paryż, Amsterdam, Berlin. Liczne rzesze fanek po każdym koncercie dają wyraz swojemu uwielbieniu. Chłopaki bacznie śledzą także recenzje (często krytyczne) oraz wszelkie informacje w sieci z nimi w roli głównej. Ruben, Zach, Jon i Angel w wolnym czasie trochę zwiedzają, trochę imprezują, korzystają z lokalnych atrakcji. A po koncertach ruszają do hotelu. Długa podróż po Stanach i Europie pozwala lepiej się poznać i sprzyja zacieśnieniu więzi między nimi, choć nie brakuje też okazji do spięć. Pewnego dnia Ruben i Zach uświadamiają sobie, że przestali już być dla siebie tylko kumplami z zespołu - rodzi się wzajemna fascynacja. Obaj są pełni obaw. I dotyczą one nie tylko życia osobistego, ale także losów zespołu. Czy ujawnienie prawdy o ich relacji wpłynie na wizerunek grupy? Jak zareagują fani?

A jak to się wyda

Nur fast am Boden zerstört

Theoretisch perfekt

Darcy Phillips:
— Pode dar-te a solução para qualquer um dos teus problemas — mediante um pagamento, claro;
— Usa os poderes que tem para o bem. Na maior parte das vezes...
— Não suporta o atleta da escola, o Alexander Brougham.
— Talvez não seja a pessoa ideal para julgar a melhor amiga — pela qual está apaixonada, mas não tem coragem de se declarar.
— Não aprecia ser chantageada.

Porém, quando Alexander a apanha em flagrante a retirar cartas do cacifo 89 — a partir do qual ela tem administrado o seu questionável serviço de aconselhamento romântico —, é exatamente isso que acontece. Em troca de manter o seu segredo, bem... segredo, Darcy tem de ajudar Brougham a reconquistar a ex-namorada.

Portanto, ela só precisa de ajudar um rapaz chato (e irritantemente bonito) a reconquistar uma rapariga que já foi completamente apaixonada por ele. O que pode correr mal?
