Sky’s small town turns absolutely claustrophobic when his secret promposal plans get leaked to the entire school in this witty, “earnest, heartfelt” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author), and ultimately hopeful debut novel for fans of What if it’s Us? and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.Sky Baker may be openly gay, but in his small, insular town, making sure he was invisible has always been easier than being himself. Determined not to let anything ruin his senior year, Sky decides to make a splash at his high school’s annual beach bum party by asking his crush, Ali, to prom—and he has thirty days to do it. What better way to start living loud and proud than by pulling off the gayest promposal Rock Ledge, Michigan, has ever seen? Then, Sky’s plans are leaked by an anonymous hacker in a deeply homophobic e-blast that quickly goes viral. He’s fully prepared to drop out and skip town altogether—until his classmates give him a reason to fight back by turning his thirty-day promposal countdown into a school-wide hunt to expose the e-blast perpetrator. But what happens at the end of the thirty days? Will Sky get to keep his hard-won visibility? Or will his small-town blues stop him from being his true self?

After being dumped so his boyfriend can pursue more “serious” guys, a teen boy decides to prove he can be serious, too, by running for senior class president in this “clever, fun, original” (BCCB) romp from the author of The Sky Blues.High school junior Blaine Bowers has it all—the perfect boyfriend, a pretty sweet gig as a muralist for local Windy City businesses, a loving family, and awesome, talented friends. And he is absolutely, 100% positive that aforementioned perfect boyfriend—senior student council president and Mr. Popular of Wicker West High School, Joey—is going to invite Blaine to spend spring break with his family in beautiful, sunny Cabo San Lucas. Except Joey breaks up with him instead. In public. On their one-year anniversary. Because, according to Joey, Blaine is too goofy, too flighty, too…unserious. And if Joey wants to go far in life, he needs to start dating more serious guys. Guys like Zach Chesterton. Determined to prove that Blaine can be what Joey wants, Blaine decides to enter the running to become his successor (and beat out Joey’s new boyfriend, Zach) as senior student council president. But is he willing to sacrifice everything he loves about himself to do it?

From the author of The Sky Blues and Blaine for the Win comes a speculative young adult romance about a teen stuck in a time loop that’s endlessly monotonous until he meets the boy of his dreams. For some reason, Clark has woken up and relived the same monotonous Monday 309 times. Until Day 310 turns out to be…different. Suddenly, his usual torturous math class is interrupted by an anomaly—a boy he’s never seen before in all his previous Mondays. When shy, reserved Clark decides to throw caution to the wind and join effusive and effervescent Beau on a series of “errands” across the Windy City, he never imagines that anything will really change, because nothing has in such a long time. And he definitely doesn’t expect to fall this hard or this fast for someone in just one day. There’s just one problem: how do you build a future with someone if you can never get to tomorrow?

They Both Die at the End meets You’ve Reached Sam, in this heart-stopping speculative young adult novel from New York Times bestselling author Robbie Couch that explores all the different ways love can live on after tragedy.It’s been a year since eighteen-year-old River Lang’s best friend died in a car accident. And every day since, he’s had to pass by the depressing billboard that appeared as a result: a texting and driving PSA that reduces Dylan to a cautionary tale and River to the best friend of the dead kid at school. Dylan was so much more than a statistic, though, and River hates that everyone in town seems to have forgotten. When he’s caught improving (a.k.a. vandalizing) Dylan’s billboard, River is blackmailed into joining the Affinity Trials—a research study that’s observing teens who are “struggling socially.” But as soon as he arrives, River’s social struggles only worsen as he’s thrown together with the last person he wants to spend an entire week with: his ex-best friend and Dylan’s former girlfriend, Mavis, who’s the only one who knows the truth about the night Dylan died. During the Trials, River befriends a charming quarterback named Nash, and it doesn’t take long for romantic feelings to start bubbling to the surface. But so do bizarre developments within the Trials that make him wonder what researchers are actually studying while monitoring his every move. And when suspicions lead him to a bombshell discovery, River will have to decide just how far he’s willing to go for another chance at first love.

Aus irgendeinem Grund ist Clark aufgewacht und hat den gleichen eintönigen Montag 309-mal hintereinander durchlebt. Bis sich herausstellt, dass Tag 310 irgendwie anders ist: Plötzlich wird sein üblicher, quälender Mathematikunterricht durch einen Jungen unterbrochen – einen Jungen, den er an all seinen vorherigen Montagen noch nie gesehen hat.Als der schüchterne, zurückhaltende Clark beschließt, alle Vorsicht in den Wind zu schlagen und sich dem überschwänglichen und überschäumenden Beau auf einer Reihe von Kurztrips durch Chicago anzuschließen, kann er sich nicht vorstellen, dass sich wirklich etwas ändern wird, denn seit so langer Zeit hat sich nichts geändert. Und er erwartet definitiv nicht, dass er sich an nur einem Tag so stark oder so schnell in jemanden verlieben wird.Es gibt nur ein Problem: Wie baut man mit jemandem eine Zukunft auf, wenn man nicht einmal den nächsten Tag erreichen kann?

Clark ha vivido el mismo día 309 veces. Sin parar. Está atrapado en un bucle temporal y, al parecer, no hay nada que pueda hacer para detenerlo. Hasta que el día 310 resulta ser... diferente. De repente, su clase de trigonometría habitual se ve interrumpida por una anomalía: un chico al que nunca había visto.Clark jamás se hubiera imaginado que podría enamorarse en un solo día. ¿Será Beau la respuesta a su soledad? Y si lo es, ¿podrá construir un futuro con él sin saber si habrá un mañana?

Hace tiempo que Sky Baker salió del armario, con consecuencias catastróficas para su vida familiar. Pero, aunque no se esconda, en la pequeña ciudad en la que vive resulta más cómodo tratar de pasar inadvertido. Aun así, este es su último año de instituto, y Sky está decidido a celebrarlo a lo grande invitando a Ali, el chico que le gusta, a ir con él baile de graduación. ¿Y qué mejor manera de empezar a vivir con orgullo que haciendo la proposición más gay que Rock Ledge, Michigan, haya visto jamás?Pero los planes de Sky son filtrados por un hacker anónimo, en un post homófobo que se convierte rápidamente en viral. Cuando Sky está a punto abandonar los estudios y marcharse muy lejos, sus compañeros organizan una respuesta multitudinaria para apoyarle... que pronto se encontrará con críticas y resistencias. Y, por el camino, Sky comenzará a descubrir aspectos de su pasado y el de su familia que jamás había sospechado, y que tal vez sirvan para reconciliarlo con el lugar en el que vive.

¿Qué harías si, de repente, el día más maravilloso de tu vida se convirtiera en un infierno?Eso es lo que le pasa a Blaine cuando su novio perfecto corta con él en plena cena de aniversario, porque Blaine no es un Chico Serio.Pero Blaine tiene un plan: dejar de pintar murales en las paredes, cambiar de vestuario, ponerse las pilas... y presentarse a presidente de su curso.Aunque, tal vez, el intento de convertirse en un Chico Serio lo meta en líos aún más serios...
