Todo mundo merece uma grande história de amor. Simon Spier tem dezesseis anos e é gay, mas não conversa sobre isso com ninguém. Ele não vê problemas em sua orientação sexual, mas rejeita a ideia de ter que ficar dando explicação para as pessoas ― afinal, por que só os gays têm que se apresentar ao mundo? Enquanto troca e-mails com um garoto misterioso que se identifica como Blue, Simon vai ter que enfrentar, além de suas dúvidas e inseguranças, uma chantagem inesperada. "Estou muito apaixonada por este livro." — Nina LaCour, autora de Estamos bem "Eu amo este livro que é tão jovem, divertido e vivo." — Jennifer Niven, autora de Por lugares incríveis A edição comemorativa do best-seller está repleta de detalhes incríveis, com texto revisto pela própria Becky Albertalli e conteúdos inéditos, como os primeiros e-mails de Simon e Blue, textos deletados e as melhores receitas de Oreo do Simon!

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?

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.

Die heißersehnte Fortsetzung und eine zweite Chance für die große Liebe. Becky Albertalli und Adam Silvera erfüllen mit dem Nachfolgeband von ›Was ist mit uns‹ den Wunsch vieler Fans. Ben und Arthur treffen, zwei Jahre nach ihrer Trennung, im schillernden New York wieder aufeinander. Beide sind inzwischen vergeben, und versuchen sich einzureden, dass da nichts mehr zwischen ihnen ist. Doch das Universum scheint anderer Meinung zu sein und wirft ihnen jede Menge Fragen vor die Füße: Ist es zu spät für Was-wäre-Wenn ́s? Oder sind sie vielleicht doch füreinander bestimmt? In AUF DAS MIT UNS sprühen auf jeden Fall wieder die Funken.

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

#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. Critically acclaimed and bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in these smart, funny, heartfelt novels about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart.

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.

Drie boeken van Becky Albertalli in één bundel! ''Simon vs. de verwachtingen van de rest van de wereld'' Simon Spier is zestien jaar en valt op jongens, maar wil dat liever nog niet aan iedereen vertellen. Maar dan belandt een e-mail naar zijn online crush bij de verkeerde persoon, en is Simons geheim opeens niet meer veilig. Zijn klasgenoot Martin chanteert hem: als Simon hem niet helpt met het vinden van een perfecte date, zorgt Martin ervoor dat de hele school op de hoogte is van Simons geaardheid. En erger nog: van de identiteit van Blue, aan wie Simon zijn e-mails stuurt. Simon zal uit zijn comfortzone moeten stappen voordat hij eruit geduwd wordt. En dat alles terwijl hij langzaam maar zeker verliefd wordt op de meest verwarrende, maar leukste jongen ooit. ''De voordelen van onbeantwoorde liefde'' Wat moet je doen als je zestien bent en nog nooit een jongen hebt gezoend? Molly Peskin-Suso wilde dat ze het wist. Ze kan 26 jongens opnoemen die ze heel erg leuk vindt (of vond), maar heeft er precies nul gezoend. Haar tweelingzus Cassie zegt dat ''ze er gewoon voor moet gaan'' en ''een risico moet nemen'', maar dat helpt niet echt. Voor haar is het makkelijk: ze flirt met elk meisje dat ze leuk vindt. Cassie kent geen angst en is dun zonder dat ze daar iets voor hoeft te doen. Molly is introvert en - volgens haar oma - ''volslank''. Cassie en Mina zijn vastbesloten om een einde te maken aan Molly''s reeks van onbeantwoorde liefdes en proberen haar te koppelen aan Will, een vriend van Mina. Maar als Molly ondertussen ook steeds meer tijd doorbrengt met Reid, haar schattige, nerdy collega, wordt het ingewikkeld... ''De eigenzinnigheden van Leah Burke'' Leah Burke is drummer in een girlband, koningin van de droge humor, de beste vriendin van Simon Spier en vreselijk onzeker. Nu het laatste jaar op haar middelbare school ten einde loopt, maakt ze zich niet alleen druk om haar - vindt ze zelf - middelmatige tekeningen, maar ook om: Haar vriendengroep die uit elkaar begint te vallen; Het feit dat ze biseksueel is, en dat ze dat aan niemand durft te vertellen; Haar hopeloze verliefdheid op een goede vriendin, die al een vriend heeft. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, komt de prom steeds dichterbij, en het moment waarop Leah en haar vrienden allemaal naar verschillende universiteiten gaan ook. Leah probeert op alle mogelijke manieren iedereen bij elkaar te houden, maar ze zal misschien meer voor zichzelf moeten kiezen - en voor de liefde.

Uma eleição acirrada, um romance complicado e dois adolescentes tentando mudar o mundo Jamie Goldberg é um dos voluntários mais dedicados na campanha democrata para as eleições locais — mas só nos bastidores. Porque, além de especialista em questões políticas, ele é especialista em passar vergonha em público. (Sério, seu brinde no bat mitzvá da irmã com certeza vai ser um desastre.) Não existe a menor chance de Jamie pedir votos de porta em porta... até encontrar Maya. Maya Rehman está tendo o pior Ramadã de todos. Ela odeia mudanças, mas terá que enfrentar várias. Sua melhor amiga vai morar em outra cidade e vive ocupada, a viagem em família foi cancelada e agora seus pais estão se separando. Para completar, a mãe de Maya a obriga a pedir votos com um garoto desajeitado que ela mal conhece. Bater à porta de estranhos não é nada glamoroso, mas Maya e Jamie vão descobrir que não é a pior coisa do mundo. Conforme as eleições se aproximam, os dois começam a passar cada vez mais tempo juntos. Afinal, precisam encarar projetos de lei racistas, uma avó famosa no Instagram e memes com poodles do mal. Mas o que era só uma aliança política se complica quando sentimentos entram na jogada. As chances de sucesso nas urnas e no amor parecem baixas, mas... quem sabe? Inspiradas pela própria experiência como voluntárias de campanha nos Estados Unidos, as premiadas Becky Albertalli e Aisha Saeed constroem em Sim, não, quem sabe uma história engraçada, apaixonante e necessária sobre como podemos, pouco a pouco, ajudar a construir um mundo mais justo.

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.

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

A New York Times, USA Today, and Indie bestseller! 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? Plus don''t miss Here''s to Us! Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera reunite to continue the story of Arthur and Ben, the boys readers first fell for in What If It’s Us.

Analytische annotatie (jeugd): Als Arthur (16) Ben voor het eerst ziet, is het liefde op het eerste gezicht. Maar omdat ze geen gegevens uitwisselen, kost het heel wat moeite om elkaar terug te vinden. Vanaf ca. 15 jaar.

Cuando se trata de tocar la batería, Leah Burke suele tener buen ritmo, el tiempo es como su especialidad. Pero en su vida personal las cosas suelen ir a destiempo. Leah, una anomalía en su grupo de amigos, es la hija única de una joven madre soltera, y su vida es sin dudas la menos privilegiada. Le encanta dibujar, pero se siente demasiado cohibida para mostrar sus creaciones. Y a pesar de que su madre sabe que es bisexual, ella aún no ha podido reunir el coraje para contárselo a sus amigos, ni siquiera a Simon, su mejor amigo abiertamente gay. De modo que Leah, en realidad, no sabe qué hacer cuando su sólido grupo de amigos comienza a resquebrajarse de formas inesperadas. Con el baile de graduación y la universidad asomándose por el horizonte, la tensión crece cada vez más. Para ella es difícil dar con la nota correcta cuando la gente a la que quiere está sumida en conflictos, en especial, cuando se da cuenta de que tal vez quiera a una persona más de lo que alguna vez había pensado. Becky Albertalli regresa al mundo de su aclamada novela Con amor, Simon, con esta historia cálida y divertida acerca del primer amor y de la angustia del último año de instituto.

In this sequel to the acclaimed Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda—now a major motion picture, Love, Simon—we follow Simon’s BFF Leah as she grapples with changing friendships, first love, and senior year angst. When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat—but real life isn’t always so rhythmic. She’s an anomaly in her friend group: the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And even though her mom knows she’s bisexual, she hasn’t mustered the courage to tell her friends—not even her openly gay BFF, Simon. So Leah really doesn’t know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high. It’s hard for Leah to strike the right note while the people she loves are fighting—especially when she realizes she might love one of them more than she ever intended.

De voordelen van onbeantwoorde liefde is het tweede boek van Becky Albertalli, en een spin off van Simon vs. de verwachtingen van de rest van de wereld! Molly Peskin-Suso kan 26 jongens opnoemen die ze heel erg leuk vindt (of vond), maar heeft er precies nul gezoend. Haar tweelingzus Cassie zegt dat ''ze er gewoon voor moet gaan'' en ''een risico moet nemen'' maar zij heeft makkelijk praten. Cassie kent geen angst, flirt met elk meisje dat ze leuk vindt en is ook nog eens superslank zonder dat ze daar iets voor hoeft te doen. Molly is introvert, verlegen en - volgens haar oma - ''volslank''. Niet dat het uit zou moeten maken, maar toch... Als Cassie op een feestje Mina ontmoet, is ze voor het eerst echt verliefd. Molly is blij voor haar zus, maar voelt zich ook eenzamer dan ooit. Cassie en Mina zijn vastbesloten om een einde te maken aan Molly''s reeks van onbeantwoorde liefdes. Ze proberen haar te koppelen aan Will, Mina''s hipsterboy-sidekick. Will is belachelijk knap, flirterig en lijkt Molly ook leuk te vinden. Er is alleen een probleem: stiekem vindt Molly haar nerdy-collega Reid ook best interessant. Hij is een Lord of the Rings-superfan en draagt de witste sneakers die Molly ooit heeft gezien. Maar als ze zou moeten kiezen, dan moet ze natuurlijk gaan voor de knappe hipsterboy in plaats van de übernerd. Toch?

From the award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda comes a funny, authentic novel about sisterhood, love, and identity. "Heart-fluttering, honest, and hilarious. I can’t stop hugging this book." (Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss) "I have such a crush on this book! Not only is this one a must read, but it''s a must re-read." (Julie Murphy, New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin'') Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love. No matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can’t stomach the idea of rejection. So she’s careful. Fat girls always have to be careful. Then a cute new girl enters Cassie’s orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly’s cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly''s totally not dying of loneliness - except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie''s new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. If Molly can win him over, she''ll get her first kiss and she''ll get her twin back. There''s only one problem: Molly''s coworker, Reid. He''s a chubby Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there''s absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?
