Imogen Scott may be hopelessly heterosexual, but she has the title of World's Greatest Ally locked down. She never misses a Pride Alliance meeting, knows more about queer media discourse than her little sister, and has two queer best friends. Now that she is finally visiting her newly out best friend Lili on a college campus, Imogen is bringing her ally A game. Any support Lili needs, Imogen is all in. Even if that means bending the truth just a little. When Lili drops a tiny bombshell that she told all her new college friends that she and Imogen used to date, Imogen plays along. None of them know that Imogen is a raging hetero, not even Lili's chaotic, freckle faced best friend, Tessa. But the more time Imogen spends with Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with. You will love this hilarious and insightful exploration of sexuality, identity, and the beautiful complexities of friendship.

Going door to door in the summer heat is far from glamorous, but as the local election draws closer, so do Jamie and Maya. Navigating the intense world of local activism is hard enough, but figuring out the cross-cultural crush of the century might be their biggest challenge yet.

Critically acclaimed and bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in this smart, funny, heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart. ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them . . . ? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited. But what if they can’t nail a first date even after three do-overs? What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn’t try hard enough? What if life really isn’t like a Broadway play? But what if it is? What if it’s us?
