When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.

Theo and Kit have been a lot of things: childhood best friends, crushes, in love, and now estranged exes. After a brutal breakup on the transatlantic flight to their dream European food and wine tour, they exited each other's lives once and for all. Time apart has done them good. Theo has found confidence as a hustling bartender by night and aspiring sommelier by day, with a long roster of casual lovers. Kit, who never returned to America, graduated as the reigning sex god of his pastry school class and now bakes at one of the finest restaurants in Paris.

For cynical 23-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.

Alex Clarademont-Díaz, el hijo millennial de la presidenta de los Estados Unidos, es un tesoro para el marketing de la Casa Blanca: atractivo, carismático e inteligente. Lo que nadie sabe es que no soporta al príncipe Henry, el hijo de la reina de Inglaterra.

Charismatique, intelligent, charmeur... son potentiel de séduction auprès des millennials est un atout majeur aux yeux de la Maison-Blanche. Seul problème : Alex est l'ennemi personnel du vrai prince, Henry – celui dont la grand-mère règne de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique.

August, una joven de veintitrés años, no cree en casi nada. Ni en los videntes, ni en las amistades que se entablan con facilidad, ni en encontrar esa clase de amor que sale en las películas. Entonces llega Jane. La misteriosa e imposible Jane. Con mucho carácter, una sonrisa amable y el pelo alborotado, aparece para ayudar a August cuando ella más lo necesita.

Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane is displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help Jane.

Shara, la guapísima y cristiana hija del director, desaparece la noche del baile tras haber besado a Chloe. Esta deberá unirse a Smith (el novio de Shara) y Rory (el chico enamorado de Shara) para encontrar a su némesis antes de que se revele cuál de las dos es la valedictorian (alumna con mejores notas).

A month before graduating from Willowgrove Christian Academy, the principal’s perfect daughter, prom queen Shara Wheeler, kisses Chloe Green and vanishes. On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she’s not the only one Shara kissed. There’s also Smith, Shara’s long-time sweetheart, and Rory, Shara’s bad-boy neighbour with a crush.

Zwei junge Frauen in New York, eine große Liebe und eine zauberhafte Botschaft: die neue unkonventionelle romantische Komödie von Casey McQuiston. Die New Yorker Studentin August glaubt weder an Hellseherei, noch an die Art von Liebe, über die Filme gedreht werden. Und ganz sicher glaubt sie nicht, dass ihre WG voller liebenswerter Nerds daran etwas ändern wird – oder gar ihre Nachtschichten in einem Pancake House, das seit den 70er Jahren Kultstatus genießt. Doch dann ist da in der U-Bahn plötzlich Jane – die ebenso schöne wie unmögliche Jane.

Was wäre, wenn... Liebe die Welt verändern könnte? Der Kronprinz und der Sohn der Präsidentin. Als seine Mutter zur ersten Präsidentin der USA gewählt wird, wird Alex Claremont-Diaz über Nacht zum Liebling der Nation: attraktiv, charismatisch, clever – ein Marketingtraum für das weiße Haus. Nur auf diplomatischer Ebene hapert es bei Alex leider ein wenig. Bei einem Staatsbesuch in England eskaliert Alexʼ schwelender Streit mit dem britischen Thronfolger Prinz Henry. Als die Medien davon Wind bekommen, verschlechtern sich die Beziehungen zwischen den USA und England rapide.

Quirlig, queer und herrlich romantisch erzählt der Highschool-Liebesroman der amerikanischen Bestseller-Autorin Casey McQuiston von einem unerwarteten Kuss, einem plötzlichen Verschwinden und einer turbulenten Schnitzeljagd. Chloe Green ist fast am Ziel: Bald hat die queere Schülerin die Highschool in der engstirnigen Kleinstadt in Alabama endlich hinter sich. Und zwar als Jahrgangsbeste! Wenn ihr nicht Ballkönigin Shara Wheeler, die rundum perfekte Tochter des Schuldirektors, noch einen Strich durch die Rechnung macht.

Aos vinte e três anos, August Landry tem uma visão bastante cética sobre a vida. Quando se muda para Nova York e passa a dividir apartamento com as pessoas mais excêntricas — e encantadoras — que já conheceu, tudo o que quer é construir um futuro sólido e sem surpresas, diferente da vida que teve ao lado da mãe. Até que Jane aparece.

August Landry ha ventitré anni e ha trascorso gli ultimi cinque spostandosi da una città – e università – a un’altra. Cinica e disincantata, non si fida di nessuno e porta sempre con sé un coltellino svizzero perché, come le ha insegnato sua madre, “è meglio non farsi cogliere impreparate”. Quando decide di trasferirsi a New York, non ha grandi aspettative.

Da quando, quattro anni fa, le sue madri l'hanno fatta trasferire dalla California a False Beach, Alabama, per frequentare la prestigiosa Willowgrove Christian Academy, è dovuta sopravvivere a compagni pettegoli e insegnanti puritani. Ma ora sta per essere eletta miglior studentessa dell'anno, ruolo che le permetterà di tenere il discorso di commiato alla cerimonia dei diplomi. Ha una sola rivale: Shara Wheeler, la perfetta figlia del preside. Ma a poco più di un mese dal grande giorno, Shara inaspettatamente bacia Chloe e scompare.
