Lili drops a tiny queer bombshell: she's told all her college friends that Imogen and Lili used to date. And none of them know that Imogen is a raging hetero—not even Lili’s best friend, Tessa. Of course, the more time Imogen spends with chaotic, freckle-faced Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with. . .

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.

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. Maya Rehman’s having the worst Ramadan ever. Why her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing - with some awkward dude she hardly knows - is beyond her.

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?

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.

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. 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.

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 compromised.

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.

Ben ha sobrevivido al primer año de la universidad, pero se siente más estancado que nunca. Las clases le demandan un gran esfuerzo, su trabajo a media jornada con su padre es aún peor y su mejor amigo Dylan lleva actuando raro durante semanas. Lo único positivo es su compañero de escritura, Mario, que le ha estado dando muchas clases de español y, sobre todo, muchos besos. Mario tiene grandes sueños puestos en Hollywood, y eso hace que Ben comience a soñar a lo grande… y las decisiones que tome a partir de ahora podrían ser la clave para remodelar su futuro.

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 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.

Moi, c'est Simon. Simon Spier. Je vis dans une petite ville en banlieue d'Atlanta (traduisez : un trou paumé). J'ai deux sœurs, un chien et les trois meilleurs amis du monde. Je suis fan d'Harry Potter, j'ai une passion profonde pour les Oréos, je fais du théâtre. Et je suis raide dingue de Blue. Blue, c'est un garçon que j'ai rencontré sur le Tumblr du lycée. On se dit tout, sauf notre nom. Je le croise peut-être tous les jours dans le couloir, mais je ne sais pas qui c'est. En fait, ça me plaît bien : je ne suis pas du tout pressé d'annoncer à tout le monde que je suis gay.

Was Simon über Blue weiß: Er ist witzig, sehr weise, aber auch ein bisschen schüchtern. Und ganz schön verwirrend. Was Simon nicht über Blue weiß: WER er ist. Die beiden gehen auf dieselbe Schule und schon seit Monaten tauschen sie E-Mails aus, in denen sie sich die intimsten Dinge gestehen. Simon spürt, dass er sich langsam, aber sicher in Blue verliebt, doch der ist noch nicht bereit, sich mit Simon zu treffen. Dann fällt eine der E-Mails in falsche Hände - und plötzlich steht Simons Leben Kopf.

En rørende og morsom kærlighedsroman. 17-årige Simon er ikke helt parat til at springe ud som bøsse, da en af hans emails falder i de forkerte hænder, og han risikerer, at bolden ikke længere er på hans banehalvdel: Enten hjælper han Martin, klassens klovn, med at få en date, eller også vil Martin afsløre ham.

Som trommeslager i et band har Leah intet problem med at finde takten - men det er ikke helt så let i det virkelige liv. Hun elsker at tegne, men tør ikke vise sine tegninger til nogen.

Afslutningen på high school nærmer sig, der er spændinger og uro blandt vennerne, og det går efterhånden op for Leah, at hun måske er ved at forelske sig i en af dem.

Die 17-jährige Imogen sieht sich schon immer als größte Ally: Sie unterstützt ihre queeren Freunde, wo sie nur kann.

Denn Lili hat rumerzählt, dass sie und Imogen in der Vergangenheit ein Paar waren. Plötzlich beschäftigt sich Imogen mit Fragen, die sie bisher immer verdrängt hat. Noch dazu verbringt sie mehr und mehr Zeit mit der charmant-chaotischen Tessa, die ihr ganz schönes Bauchkribbeln beschert.

Doch als Matt Olsson in ihrem Theater-Kurs auftaucht, wird ihre Harmonie empfindlich gestört. Denn Matt ist nicht nur ausgesprochen talentiert und mehr als nur ein bisschen attraktiv - er ist auch haargenau Kates Typ. Die Sache hat allerdings einen gewaltigen Haken: Auch Anderson ist völlig hin und weg von Matt.

Cassies yndlingsemne: Den kendsgerning, at jeg har haft seksogtyve crush og har kysset præcis nul gange. Det er åbenbart, fordi jeg skal kvinde mig op. Hvis jeg er vild med en fyr, skal jeg sige det til ham. Måske kan man gøre sådan i Cassies verden og få det til at ende med et kys. Men jeg er ikke sikker på, at det fungerer for tykke piger. Molly ved alt om at være hemmeligt forelsket. Hun har prøvet det 26 gange. For selvom hendes søster Cassie siger, at hun skal kaste sig ud i det, tør Molly ikke risikere at blive afvist. Hun er forsigtig. For det skal tykke piger altid være.

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.

Leah odeia demonstrações públicas de afeto. Odeia clichês adolescentes. Odeia quem odeia Harry Potter. Odeia o novo namorado da mãe. Odeia pessoas fofas e felizes. Ela odeia muitas coisas e não tem o menor problema em expor suas opiniões. Mas, ultimamente, ela tem se sentido estranha, como se algo em sua vida estivesse fora de sintonia. No último ano do colégio, em poucas semanas vai ter que se despedir dos amigos, da mãe, da banda em que toca bateria, de tudo que conhece.
