From the author of Hot Dog Girl comes a fresh and funny queer YA contemporary novel about two teens who fall in love in an indie comic book shop.

Jubilee has it all together. She's an elite cellist, and when she's not working in her stepmom's indie comic shop, she's prepping for the biggest audition of her life.

Ridley is barely holding it together. His parents own the biggest comic-store chain in the country, and Ridley can't stop disappointing them--that is, when they're even paying attention.

They meet one fateful night at a comic convention prom, and the two can't help falling for each other. Too bad their parents are at each other's throats every chance they get, making a relationship between them nearly impossible . . . unless they manage to keep it a secret.

Then again, the feud between their families may be the least of their problems. As Ridley's anxiety spirals, Jubilee tries to help but finds her focus torn between her fast-approaching audition and their intensifying relationship. What if love can't conquer all? What if each of them needs more than the other can give?

"A deep dive into first love while learning to manage significant mental health challenges . . . Dugan's strength is in creating a diverse cast of characters. Ridley is bisexual, Jubilee struggles with how to identify and label her sexuality, and most of the supporting characters are queer-identified." --School Library Journal

Zusammenfassung
JENNIFER DUGAN'S EXCITING SOPHOMORE NOVEL: Hot Dog Girl was one of the buzziest debuts of 2019 with coverage in Entertainment Weekly, Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, Paste Magazine, and more!

SET IN THE MEGA-POPULAR AND DELIGHTFULLY GEEKY WORLD OF COMICS: Our protagonists meet at a comic con, bond over their shared love of comics, and fall in love in a comic shop.

AN LGBTQ STORY FROM A #OWNVOICES AUTHOR: Both main characters are bisexual, and one character struggles with the idea that she is not queer enough if she's in a mixed-gender relationship.

TACKLES MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES WITH SENSITIVITY AND AUTHENTICITY: Ridley deals with some serious problems-anxiety, panic attacks, and suicidal ideation-and in the end must seek professional help.

AN UPDATED RETELLING OF ROMEO AND JULIET: Shakespeare meets You've Got Mail in this contemporary romance with a compelling mix of humor and heart.

TOLD IN DUAL POINTS OF VIEW: Dugan's writing shines as she brilliantly captures the voices of these two distinctive main characters.

INCLUDES A TEASER FOR JENNIFER'S NEXT BOOK, SOME GIRLS DO
