New Releases by Becky Albertalli

Amelia Applebaum isn’t in love with Walter Holland. He just happens to be her favorite moderately famous, chaotically bisexual YouTuber. Who she just happened to invite to prom. (But it’s fine. No, for real. If you delete the post, it didn’t happen.) Okay, maybe her friends are right: She’s slightly parasocially infatuated. But Amelia just knows sparks would fly—if only she could connect with Walter for real. If only he would host a meet and greet. If only it were just a short road trip away. And if only Amelia could talk her best friends into making it the perfect last hurrah before graduation—even her newly single, always-cynical, guitar-toting best friend Natalie. One thing’s for sure: All roads lead to butterflies. But what if Amelia’s butterflies aren’t for Walter at all?

Celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by #1 New York Times bestselling and Stonewall Honor-winning author Becky Albertalli with this stunning DELUXE LIMITED PAPERBACK EDITION, while supplies last. Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: If he doesn't play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone's business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing with, will be jeopardized. With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon's junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he's pushed out--without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he's never met. This limited special edition includes gorgeous specs, making the package as beautiful as the read, and features new bonus content from Becky herself, including emails between Simon and Blue and Oreo recipes from Simon!

Imogen Scott may be hopelessly straight, but at least she has the title of Best Ally in the Universe in her pocket. She''s never missed a Pride Alliance meeting; she knows more about opinions about queer media on the internet than her own queer little sister; she even has two queer best friends. On one hand, there''s Gretchen, her high school classmate, who helps keep her prejudices in check. And then there''s Lili, who''s recently out of the closet, and also recently moved to college, where she''s living her best life with her new group of queer friends. Imogen is thrilled for Lili, as any ally would be. And now that she''s finally going to visit Lili on campus, she''s going to pull out all the ally gear she can muster. Imogen plans to give Lili all the support she needs. Even if it means bending reality a little. Like when Lili drops a little queer bombshell: She''s told all of her queer college friends that she and Imogen were dating. And none of them know that Imogen is 100% straight--not even Lili''s best friend, Tessa. And of course, the more time Imogen spends with the freckle-faced, chaotic girl, Tessa, the more she wonders if her reality was really as clear-cut as she thought.

Imogen Scott è un''eterosessuale convinta, ma anche la più grande alleata della comunità queer nel mondo. Non ha mai perso un incontro dell''Alleanza Pride. Ed è aggiornatissima sulle discussioni social più recenti a tema queer. Di certo molto più della sorella minore, che pure appartiene alla comunità. Anche le sue due migliori amiche sono queer: Gretchen, compagna di liceo, e Lili che, da quando è approdata al campus universitario, ha abbracciato una vita nuova ed elettrizzante insieme a un gruppo fighissimo di amici, queer ovviamente. Imogen non potrebbe esserne più felice e, adesso che sta per andare a trovarla, non vede l''ora di dimostrarle una volta di più il suo appoggio incondizionato. A costo di distorcere la verità... un pochino. Appena mette piede nel campus universitario, infatti, Imogen scopre che l''amica ha raccontato a tutto il suo gruppo che al liceo loro due stavano insieme. Ovviamente nessuno può immaginare che Imogen sia etero, men che meno la migliore amica di Lili, Tessa. E, ovviamente, più Imogen passa del tempo con Tessa, più inizia a insinuarsi nella sua mente (e nel suo cuore) un dubbio: non è che la verità sia diversa da quella che si è sempre raccontata?

Vtipný příběh dívky-dvojčete, která prožívá prostřednictvím své sestry její velkou lásku. Molly je ale její pravý opak. Myslí si o sobě, že není příliš přitažlivá a vtipná. Ale co když se plete? Molly ví všechno o bolestech neopětované lásky. A je jedno, jak moc ji její dvojče vyzývá, aby se vzchopila a šla do toho. Molly totiž není štíhlá modelka - a holky, které nejsou štíhlé, ba právě naopak, musí být opatrné. Jenže pak se kolem jejího dvojčete začne točit nová dívka a sama Molly narazí na jistého superfanouška Tolkiena, u kterého je naprosto vyloučené, aby se do něj zamilovala... nebo snad ne? Nakladatelská anotace.

Kate Garfield y Anderson Walker son mejores amigos, pero no son codependientes. ¿Está bien compartir coche para ir y volver de los ensayos de teatro? Es eficiente y bueno para el medio ambiente. ¿Y consultar con el otro antes de tomar una decisión importante? Digamos que están siendo sensatos. ¿Y qué hay de enamorarse de los mismos chicos? Al fin y al cabo, los flechazos compartidos son más divertidos. El último chico del que Kate y Andy se han enamorado vive en otra ciudad, pero cuando aparece en su instituto, parece que el guion de sus vidas se ha salido de control. Matt Olsson tiene talento, es muy dulce y a Kate le gusta. Y mucho. ¿Cuál es el problema? A Anderson también le gusta. Resulta que compartir intereses románticos no es tan divertido cuando hay sentimientos reales de por medio. De hecho, la amistad de Kate y Anderson está en peligro. ¿Podrán solucionar sus diferencias antes de que baje el telón? «La química entre los personajes, los diálogos genuinos, las amistades comprensivas y el humor característico de Albertalli hacen de esta una lectura obligatoria. Albertalli le da una vuelta de tuerca a las historias en las que varias personas se pelean por el mismo chico». —Kirkus Reviews (reseña destacada)

Um encontro aparentemente banal dá início a uma história de amor cheia de emoções fortes, percalços, contrariedades e desafios. Mas, afinal, o que terá o universo reservado para estas duas almas apaixonadas? NÃO SEI SE SOMOS UMA HISTÓRIA DE AMOR OU SE O NOSSO AMOR É UMA HISTÓRIA. ARTHUR só vai ficar em Nova Iorque durante o verão, mas ele acredita que isso não é impedimento para conhecer o grande amor da sua vida. Tal como entoam os musicais da Broadway de que Arthur tanto gosta, o universo pode fazer surgir uma paixão a qualquer momento, quando menos se espera... BEN não acredita no amor. Ele só quer distância das conspirações do universo e dos seus planos secretos. Porque se o universo fosse realmente seu aliado, ele ainda estaria numa relação e não no posto dos correios para devolver todos os pertences do seu ex-namorado. Um dia, ARTHUR e BEN cruzam-se. Um encontro aparentemente banal dá início a uma história de amor cheia de emoções fortes, percalços, contrariedades e desafios. Mas, afinal, o que terá o universo reservado para estas duas almas apaixonadas? Talvez nada. Talvez TUDO! Os elogios da crítica: «Uma doce história de amor entre dois rapazes muito diferentes, que nunca desistem um do outro.» — Publishers Weekly

Becky Albertalli og Adam Silvera genforenes for at fortsætte historien om Arthur og Ben, som læserne forelskede sig i i New York Times-bestselleren Hvis det er os. BEN overlevede det første år på college, men han føler sig mere fastlåst end nogensinde. Undervisningen er hård, hans studiejob hos sin far er endnu værre og hans bedste ven, Dylan, har opført sig sært i flere uger. Det eneste lyspunkt er skrivemakkeren Mario, som har givet ham masser af spanskundervisning og endnu flere kys. Men hvorfor kan han ikke lade være med at tænke på en helt særlig dreng fra sin fortid? ARTHUR er tilbage i New York City for første gang i to år, og han er klar til at indtage teaterverden med storm som verdens bedste ... praktikant hos assistenten for en Off-Broadway forestilling. Det er selvfølgelig trist at tilbringe hele sommeren langt væk fra kæresten Mikey, men han ved, at deres forhold kan klare alt. Derfor er det heller ikke noget problem, at eks-kæresten Ben pludselig er inde i billedet igen. Vel? Den første forelskelse er særlig, men det alt for sent til "hvad nu, hvis ...". Er det ikke?

Becky Albertalli se une a Adam Silvera para contar uma história de amor inesquecível Em Com amor, Simon, Becky Albertalli conquistou o público jovem com sua narrativa sensível e apaixonante sobre um menino gay prestes a viver uma grande história de amor. Em E se fosse a gente?, ela se une ao escritor Adam Silvera, autor do emocionante best-seller Os dois morrem no final, para narrar o encontro de dois garotos que não poderiam estar em momentos mais diferentes da vida, mas que vão desafiar os poderes do universo para ficarem juntos. Para comemorar o lançamento da sequência, a Intrínseca relança E se fosse a gente? com a arte de capa americana, tão pedida e amada pelos leitores. De férias em Nova York, Arthur está determinado a viver uma aventura digna de um musical da Broadway antes de voltar para casa. Já Ben acabou de terminar seu primeiro relacionamento, e tudo o que mais quer é se livrar de uma caixa com todas as lembranças do ex-namorado. Quando eles se conhecem em uma agência dos correios, parece que o universo está mandando um recado direto. Bem, talvez não tão direto assim, já que os dois acabam tomando rumos diferentes sem ao menos saberem o nome ou telefone um do outro. Em meio a encontros e desencontros — sempre embalados por referências a musicais e à cultura pop —, Ben e Arthur se perguntam: e se a vida não for como os musicais da Broadway e os dois não estiverem destinados a ficar juntos? Mas e se estiverem? Aos poucos, eles percebem que às vezes as coisas não precisam ser perfeitas para darem certo e que os planos do universo podem ser mais surpreendentes do que eles imaginam.

Na sequência de E se fosse a gente?, Becky Albertalli e Adam Silvera dão uma nova chance para a inesquecível história de amor de Ben e Arthur Em 2019, os leitores brasileiros se apaixonaram por E se fosse a gente?, uma narrativa cativante e divertida sobre dois garotos muito diferentes que desafiam os poderes do universo para ficarem juntos. Os aclamados autores Becky Albertalli e Adam Silvera combinam seus talentos novamente na emocionante sequência E se a gente tentasse?, que traz a arte de capa americana, tão pedida e amada pelos leitores. Para comemorar o lançamento, o verso da sobrecapa de E se a gente tentasse? traz a nova arte de capa de E se fosse a gente?, para que os fãs que têm a primeira edição do livro possam embalar seu exemplar. Será que dessa vez o universo vai dar uma nova chance para a história de amor de Ben e Arthur? Ben sobreviveu ao primeiro ano da faculdade. Por pouco. As aulas estão puxadas, trabalhar com o pai é ainda pior, e seu melhor amigo, Dylan, está agindo de maneira estranha há semanas. Pelo menos Ben tem revisado seu livro com Mario, um garoto lindo que vem lhe dando aulas de espanhol e, de quebra, vários beijos. Então talvez não seja tão difícil assim esquecer o ex. Após dois anos, Arthur está de volta a Nova York para fazer o estágio dos sonhos e conquistar o mundo do teatro. Apesar de ter que passar o verão longe do namorado, Mikey, ele sabe que o relacionamento é forte o bastante para superar a distância. Só que os acasos do destino fazem com que Arthur encontre Ben outra vez, e o garoto tenta se convencer de que não há motivos para reconsiderar o futuro deles juntos. Ben, por outro lado, precisa fazer uma escolha que vai mudar tudo e alavancar seus sonhos. Se cada um deve seguir seu caminho, por que Ben não consegue parar de pensar em Arthur?

Ha pasado más de un año desde que Simon y Blue convirtieron su coqueteo anónimo en línea en una relación en la vida real, y solo unos meses desde la noche inolvidable de Abby y Leah en el baile de graduación. Ahora, los exalumnos del bachillerato de Creekwood son estudiantes de primer año en diferentes universidades, y navegarán por la amistad y el romance de la forma en la que comenzó su historia: por e-mail.

Sí Jamie Goldberg no tiene ningún problema en ser voluntario para el candidato a senador de su Estado, siempre y cuando le permitan estar alejado del centro de atención. Cuando se trata de hablar con extraños (o, admitámoslo, cuando se trata de hablar con cualquiera), Jamie es el peor. No hay manera de que llame a las puertas de las casas para pedir el voto de la gente... hasta que conoce a Maya. No Maya Rehman está viviendo el peor ramadán de su vida. Su mejor amiga está muy ocupada como para quedar con ella, su viaje de verano se ha cancelado y ahora sus padres se están separando. Tampoco entiende por qué su madre cree que la solución a sus problemas es hacer campaña política con un chico torpe al que apenas conoce. Tal vez Ir de puerta en puerta no es exactamente glamuroso, pero tal vez no sea lo peor del mundo. Al fin y al cabo, las elecciones se están acercando... igual que Maya y Jamie. Dominar el activismo local es una cosa; navegar por el romance intercultural del siglo es otra completamente distinta.

#1 New York Times bestseller! Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera reunite to continue the story of Arthur and Ben, the boys readers first fell for in the bestselling rom-com What If It’s Us. Ben survived freshman year of college, but he’s feeling more stuck than ever. His classes are a slog, his part-time job working with his father is even worse, and his best friend Dylan’s been acting weird for weeks. Ben’s only real bright spot is his writing partner Mario, who’s been giving him a lot of Spanish lessons and even more kisses. Mario’s big Hollywood dreams make Ben start to dream bigger—and the choices he makes now could be the key to reshaping his future. So why can’t he stop thinking about a certain boy from his past? Arthur is back in New York City for the first time in two years, ready to take the theater world by a storm as the world’s best . . . intern to the assistant of an off-off-Broadway director. Of course, it sucks to be spending the summer apart from his sweet, reliable boyfriend, Mikey, but he knows their relationship is strong enough to weather the distance. Which is why it’s no big deal when his ex-boyfriend Ben stumbles back into the picture. And it’s definitely fine that Ben’s blissfully happy with some mystery boy. First loves are special, but it’s way too late for what-ifs. Right? Even as the boys try to shake off the past, they keep running into each other in the present. Is this the universe trying to tell them there’s a do-over in their future? Here's to Us is sure to be welcomed by fans old and new of these authors and their previous collaboration, What If It's Us.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and rom-com queen Becky Albertalli comes a buoyant new novel about daring to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight in love, life, and, yes, theater. Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway. But when Kate and Andy’s latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off-script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson. Turns out, communal crushes aren’t so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson’s friendship.

D’un côté : Jamie Goldberg, dix-sept ans, une maladresse maladive. Il s’est retrouvé embarqué dans la campagne d’un candidat aux élections locales. De l’autre : Maya Rehman, dix-sept ans, un caractère bien affirrmé. Ses vacances en famille ont été annulées, mais sa meilleure amie est trop occupée pour traîner avec elle. Ensemble, et surtout malgré eux, ils sont recrutés pour faire du porte-à-porte.

New York Times bestseller! Fall in love all over again with the characters from the bestselling Simonverse novels in this highly anticipated epilogue novella. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli, the movie Love, Simon, and the new Hulu series spin-off, Love, Victor! It’s been more than a year since Simon and Blue turned their anonymous online flirtation into an IRL relationship, and just a few months since Abby and Leah’s unforgettable night at senior prom. Now the Creekwood High crew are first years at different colleges, navigating friendship and romance the way their story began—on email. Praise for the Simonverse novels: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, The Upside of Unrequited, and Leah on the Offbeat: “Worthy of Fault in Our Stars–level obsession.”—Entertainment Weekly, on Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda “Heart-fluttering, honest, and hilarious.

A book about the power of love and resistance from New York Times bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed. YES Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state senate candidate—as long as he’s behind the scenes. When it comes to speaking to strangers (or, let’s face it, speaking at all to almost anyone) Jamie’s a choke artist. There’s no way he’d ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes…until he meets Maya. NO Maya Rehman’s having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is canceled, and now her parents are separating. Why her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing—with some awkward dude she hardly knows—is beyond her. MAYBE SO Going door to door isn’t exactly glamorous, but maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world. After all, the polls are getting closer—and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural crush of the century is another thing entirely.

Was ist, wenn das Leben kein Broadway-Stück ist? Und was, wenn doch? Ben und Arthur treffen zufällig vor einer Postfiliale aufeinander. Zufällig? Oder sind sie doch füreinander bestimmt? Ihr Kennenlernen und die ersten zarten Gefühle werden von ständigen Zweifeln überschattet. Mit "Was ist mit uns", ihrem ersten gemeinsamen Roman, standen die beiden "heiß begehrten Superstars der Jugendliteratur" (Pastemagazine) Becky Albertalli und Adam Silvera wochenlang auf der New York Times-Bestsellerliste.

Esta es la historia de una chica que conoce a un chico, se enamora y acaban juntos. O no. Porque en realidad Molly Peskin-Suso ha vivido 26 enamoramientos no correspondidos. Como siempre le reprocha su hermana Cassie, al final nunca hace nada por su miedo al rechazo. Y ahora Cassie acaba de empezar a salir con una chica y Molly se siente más sola que nunca. Bueno, excepto por Will, el encantador pelirrojo que está sorprendentemente interesado en ella. Y su nuevo compañero Reid, más cómodo con los personajes de Tolkien que con la gente en general. Con él es muy fácil hablar porque jamás podría llegar a gustarle. ¿Verdad? Ambientada en el mundo de Con amor, Simon (cuya película, producida por la 20th Century Fox, se estrenó en 2018), Lo bueno del amor (no correspondido) es una entrañable y divertida historia de enredos que rompe moldes sobre la magia (e incomodidad) del primer amor. «No puedo dejar de abrazar este libro». Stephanie Perkins. «Becky Albertalli es como si fuese la hija natural de John Green y Rainbow Rowell». Teen Vogue. «Los lectores se enamorarán de esta mirada original, honesta e inclusiva a las citas, la familia y la amistad». School Library Journal. «Esta novela tiene un corazón tan grande como Con amor, Simon (el propio Simon hace un cameo) y está repleta de humor». Publishers Weekly. «¡Estoy enamorada de este libro! No sólo debes leerlo, también debes releerlo». Julie Murphy, autora de Dumplin
