"Heartfelt, romantic, and quietly groundbreaking. This book will
save lives." Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda It's just three words: I am
nonbinary. But that's all it takes to change everything. When Ben
De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're thrown
out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older
sister, Hannah, and her husband, Thomas, whom Ben has never even
met. Struggling with an anxiety disorder compounded by their
parents' rejection, they come out only to Hannah, Thomas, and their
therapist and try to keep a low profile in a new school. But Ben's
attempts to survive the last half of senior year unnoticed are
thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student,
decides to take Ben under his wing. As Ben and Nathan's friendship
grows, their feelings for each other begin to change, and what
started as a disastrous turn of events looks like it might just be
a chance to start a happier new life.At turns heartbreaking and
joyous, I Wish You All the Best is both a celebration of life,
friendship, and love, and a shining example of hope in the face of
adversity.

From the bestselling author of I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, the story
of a cupid who thinks they know everything about love... until they
fall in love themselves. As a cupid, Jude thinks they understand
love a little bit more than the average human. It makes sense --
Jude's been studying love their whole teen life. And, yes, there
have been some bumps in the road, and they're currently on
probation for doing something that they absolutely, definitely
shouldn't have done... but they're ready to prove they can make
matches without ever getting involved. Only... Jude's next
assignment isn't about setting up two adults. No, this time Jude
has to go to high school, with kids their own age. And the
assignment is a tough one: two best friends who are meant to be
more than just best friends... but who aren't currently speaking to
each other after a huge falling out. Jude thinks they've got this
one all under control, and that they won't get involved whatsoever.
Which proves that maybe Jude hasn't learned the first lesson of
humans and love ... It's complicated.
From the bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best, comes a new
kind of love story, about the bad decisions we sometimes make...
and the people who help get us back on the right path. Perfect for
fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston and What If
It's Us by Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli. Just days before
spring break, Neil Kearney is set to fly across the country with
his childhood friend (and current friend-with-benefits) Josh, to
attend his brother's wedding--until Josh tells Neil that he's in
love with him and Neil doesn't return the sentiment. With Josh
still attending the wedding, Neil needs to find a new date to bring
along. And, almost against his will, roommate Wyatt is drafted. At
first, Wyatt (correctly) thinks Neil is acting like a jerk. But
when they get to LA, Wyatt sees a little more of where it's coming
from. Slowly, Neil and Wyatt begin to understand one another... and
maybe, just maybe, fall in love for the first time...
Familiar tropes, unique twists, all the feels. Grab a snack, some
tissues, and try not to fall in love with this playful anthology

classic favorites that are sure to steal your heart including: *
"Enemies-to-Lovers": Two boys from rival schools are forced to
share a room the night before their championship baseball game.
What begins as their mutual nightmare just might just turn to
something more between the two of them. * "Fake Dating": Every
year, Rachel's siblings and cousins bring dates to the family
Hanukkah party, but Rachel always flies solo. Tired of everyone
asking when she's going to meet a nice Jewish boy (or girl), she
asks Matthew Klein to be her fake date. The only problem? He may
have accepted her invitation only because he has a crush on her
sister. * "Kissing Under the Influence": Two interns in the
Department for Unexplained Phenomena are assigned to investigate a
city that seems to have disappeared. Antics (including a mistaken
ensorcellment and an unexpected declaration of love) ensue.

should.
