More about each book below:
LOVE IN FOCUS: Delilah Green Doesn't Care meets The Bold Type in this sapphic rom-com where two exes reconnect and are given a second chance at love. When her boyfriend of seven years suddenly breaks up with her, relationship advice columnist Gemma Cho is convinced that real love doesn't exist. As a bisexual woman who's had zero luck with both men and women, she's ready to give up on her own romantic prospects.
That is, until she's paired up with world-renowned photographer Celeste Min on a potentially career-saving piece on modern love. Celeste is extremely talented and sexy, and would be the perfect collaborator and rebound for Gemma if it weren't for one major fact: she's Gemma's ex, the one that broke her heart in college and moved to a whole other country before Gemma could even make sense of what went wrong between them. Heightened by the unmistakable sparks that still fly between them, Gemma and Celeste struggle to keep their relationship strictly professional.
For the sake of her career, Gemma needs this piece to do well. And for the sake of what's left of her beaten up hopeless romantic heart, she wants to fall head over heels for Celeste again. But can she trust Celeste to feel the same this time around?
AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES: Oh my god, they were roommates . . .
Young Royals meets To All The Boys I've Loved Before in this heartwarming and hilarious queer exes-to-lovers boarding school romance about two roommates, one secret and a lot of love letters. 'No one does comedy like Page Powars. Hilarious, heartfelt, and unhinged.' - Sophie Gonzales, bestselling co-author of If This Gets Out When Charlie transfers from high school to Valentine Academy for Boys, love is the last thing on his mind.
His plan is to survive the school year with perfect grades and no one discovering he's trans. Especially his new roommate Jasper - Sexiest Poet of the Year and the only boy to break Charlie's heart. Miraculously, his ex-summer-camp romance doesn't recognise him, and the two boys make a deal: Jasper will request a new room if Charlie helps him deliver secret love letters between the boys at Valentine and the girls at its sister academy.
But as Jasper tutors him in the art of romance, will Charlie be able to keep himself from falling in love again?
SUNNY DISPOSITION:
Naomi
I can't understand why – out of the four hockey players I'm sharing a house with this semester – Finn Howard's the one who catches my eye.
The guy never smiles. He doesn't say much and disapproves plenty.
But, something about him feels familiar. Something about him feels safe.
I'm not falling for Finn, I'm just curious. Could I make him smile? It wouldn't hurt to try. I love a good challenge. And who knows, maybe it'll distract me from pining over a guy I meet online.
Finn
I don't get nervous unless I'm on the ice. So why does my chest feel tight whenever Naomi Lewis looks in my direction?
She's witty, kind, and happy. How is someone that happy all the time?
If her sunny disposition isn't enough to distract me, the fact that her voice sounds exactly like the streamer I anonymously moderate for will.
If Naomi is her, she's in for a huge disappointment. I'm not the guy she thinks I am...not anymore, at least. And for that reason alone, I should stay away from her. I should stop trying to get closer. I should stop wanting her because she fell for someone else. Someone I will never be again.
