Becky Albertalli Libri

Simon ha diciassette anni e un amore segreto per Blu, un ragazzo conosciuto on line con cui intrattiene un’intensa, tenera corrispondenza. Il loro rapporto è al sicuro finché un’email non finisce nelle mani sbagliate: quelle di Martin, il bullo della scuola, che ora minaccia di rivelare a tutti lo scoop dell’anno… a meno che Simon non l’aiuti a conquistare Abby, la ragazza di cui è innamorato ma che non lo degna di uno sguardo. Per proteggere il suo amore, Simon dovrà affrontare per la prima volta la paura di uscire dal guscio che ha costruito intorno a sé, trovando il coraggio di rinunciare alle proprie sicurezze per fare spazio alla bellezza e alla libertà di essere se stessi. Email dopo email, il sentimento per Blu cresce, e così la voglia di conoscersi e di far conoscere agli altri chi è davvero.

Quando suona la batteria insieme al gruppo, Leah Burke non sbaglia un colpo, ma ultimamente la sua vita fatica a tenere il ritmo. Con la scelta dell'università alle porte, una mamma single adorabile ma scombinata e la perenne sensazione di essere un'outsider in mezzo ai suoi amici e alle loro famiglie perfette, Leah avverte che qualcosa è offbeat, fuori tempo. E ora che il suo forte interesse per Abby sta diventando amore, non ha il coraggio di confidare a nessuno di essere attratta anche dalle ragazze, nemmeno a Simon, il suo migliore amico serenamente gay. Basteranno il suo pungente senso dell'umorismo e il suo sguardo irresistibilmente cinico sul mondo a farle vincere la paura di perdere ciò che ha di più prezioso, aiutandola a trovare di nuovo la nota giusta?Fragili e insicuri, ma anche vulcanici e irriverenti, gli amici di Simon tornano a farci battere il cuore.«Sarà grandioso. Ti rendi conto che questo è solo l'inizio?» «L'inizio di cosa?» chiedo.Abby sprofonda nel sedile, con un sorriso sognante. «Della vita vera. Dell'età adulta.» «È terribile.» «È fantastico.» Alzo gli occhi al cielo, ma quando lei mi sorride non posso fare altro che sorriderle anch'io.

A New York Times and Indie bestseller! With humor and insight, #1 New York Time s bestseller Becky Albertalli explores the nuances of sexuality, identity, and friendship in this timely new novel. Imogen Scott may be hopelessly heterosexual, but she’s got the World’s Greatest Ally title locked down. She's never missed a Pride Alliance meeting. She knows more about queer media discourse than her very queer little sister. She even has two queer best friends. There's Gretchen, a fellow high school senior, who helps keep Imogen's biases in check. And then there's Lili—newly out and newly thriving with a cool new squad of queer college friends. Imogen's thrilled for Lili. Any ally would be. And now that she's finally visiting Lili on campus, she's bringing her ally A game. Any support Lili needs, Imogen's all in. Even if that means bending the truth, just a little. Like when Lili drops a tiny queer 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. . .

"Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love-she's lived through it twenty-six times. She crushes hard and crushes often, but always in secret. Because 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. Will is funny, flirtatious, and just might be perfect crush material. Maybe more than crush material. And 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 an awkward Tolkien superfan, and there's absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?"

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.
