Sometimes true love takes a little heavy lifting "The most
hilarious disaster bisexuals you’ll ever meet.” —Dahlia
Adler, Buzzfeed Books This irresistible adult debut from beloved YA
author Jennifer Dugan is a queer romcom for fans of Delilah
Green Doesn’t Care and Written in the Stars, in which
a gym employee accidentally ruins her bosses’ daughter’s
wedding, then even more accidentally falls for the runaway bride...
The gym is Lizzie’s life—it’s her passion, her job, and the
only place that’s ever felt like home. Unfortunately, her bosses
consider her a glorified check-in girl at best, and the gym
punching bag at worst. When their son, Lizzie’s best friend,
James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara’s
wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie
giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women’s
bathroom—except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and
Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom. Now,
newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and
Lizzie—desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role
in this fiasco—gets strong-armed by James into “entertaining”
her. Cara doesn’t have to know it’s a setup; it’ll just be a
quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life.
After all, how could someone like Cara fall for someone like
Lizzie, with no career and no future? But the more Lizzie gets to
know Cara, the more she likes her, and the bigger the potential
disaster if any of her rapidly multiplying secrets get out. Because
now it’s not just Lizzie’s job and entire future on the line,
but also the girl of her dreams.

In this YA contemporary queer romance from the author of Hot Dog
Girl, an openly gay track star falls for a closeted, bisexual teen
beauty queen with a penchant for fixing up old cars. Now available
in paperback! Morgan, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer
high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer
is against her private Catholic school's code of conduct. There,
she meets Ruby, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue
1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter
to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn
to each other and can't deny their growing feelings. But while
Morgan-out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start-doesn't
want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Ruby
isn't ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path
toward living her truth, will they be able to go the distance
together?

Now in paperback, a fresh and funny contemporary YA rom-com about
teens working as costumed characters in a local amusement park.
Elouise (Lou) Parker is determined to have the absolute best, most
impossibly epic summer of her life. There are just a few things
standing in her way: She's landed a job at Magic Castle Playland .
. . as a giant dancing hot dog. Her crush, the dreamy diving pirate
Nick, already has a girlfriend, who is literally the princess of
the park. But Lou's never liked anyone, guy or otherwise, this much
before, and now she wants a chance at her own happily ever after.
Her best friend, Seeley, the carousel operator, has always been up
for anything, but she's decidedly not on board when it comes to
Lou's quest to set her up with the perfect girl or Lou's scheme to
get close to Nick. And it turns out that this will be their last
summer at Magic Castle Playland--ever--unless she can find a way to
stop it from closing. Jennifer Dugan's sparkling debut
coming-of-age queer romance stars a princess, a pirate, a hot dog,
and a carousel operator who find love--and themselves--in
unexpected people and unforgettable places.
