What do you do when your marriage is so unhappy that you begin to fantasize about your husband's funeral? That's how bad it got for Alisa Bowman. . . So she launched a last-ditch effort to save her marriage. Project: Happily Ever After is her fearlessly honest and humorous account of how she went from being a "divorce daydreamer" to renewing her wedding vows -- and all of the steps in between.

Felix Ever After
Author: Kacen Callender
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062820273
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
A Stonewall Honor Book * A Time Magazine Best YA Book of All Time From Stonewall and Lambda Award–winning author Kacen Callender comes a revelatory YA novel about a transgender teen grappling with identity and self-discovery while falling in love for the first time. Felix Love has never been in love—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after. When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle.... But as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself. Felix Ever After is an honest and layered story about identity, falling in love, and recognizing the love you deserve. "Felix is attending an ultracompetitive arts summer program to have a better shot at a full scholarship to Brown when someone posts Felix’s dead name beside photos of him, pre-transition, in the school’s lobby. Felix’s plot to get revenge throws him onto the path of love and self-discovery." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")

Oliver Ever After

Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
Me, my high school ex, and a five-star hotel room on reunion night. He can't break my heart twice, right? Oliver: It took me 7 years to forget my high school boyfriend, Luke, and just one night to-- You know what? Scratch that. It took me 7 years of pretending to forget Luke to convince myself that maybe going to my high school reunion was a good idea, that maybe I could show all the kids who'd bullied me just how little I cared about them, and show Luke how little I'd thought about him. Uh, news flash: it didn't work, and it didn't even take me a full night to realize how wrong I was. It took approximately 5 minutes of moonlit conversation in our high school parking lot (super romantic, I know) to figure that out--though I guess inviting Luke back to my hotel room, dragging him into bed, and then having a panic attack in the middle of the, uh, festivities didn't exactly help matters. And that would have been fine, honestly. Completely humiliating and a memory I would cringe over until my dying day, sure, but fine--if only I weren't stuck at home, helping my father with a health crisis and dodging Luke's calls--and my feelings about them. Luke's a player--he always has been. I know better than to get involved with him again. So how the hell do I get my heart to listen? "I'm not asking for much, really. Just you. Just every little thing about you. That's all I want." Luke: Oliver Luna. The guy's haunted me since high school. Oliver's the first person I ever fell in love with--and the last. He's the guy who showed me what I was made of--and it turns out, what I'm made of isn't pretty. I know I'm a jerk--which is why I don't date. I won't risk hurting anyone else the way that I hurt Oliver. And I've never forgiven myself. I guess that's why I decided to go to this reunion. I figured maybe, if I apologized, I'd be able to let Oliver go. Maybe I'd be able to stop thinking about him at 4 a.m., unable to sleep, googling him for the 10 millionth time. That's how it works, right? You say you're sorry and you get to move on? Only, first, Oliver tells me he's already moved on, and somehow that just makes me feel worse. Like, what the hell, heart? That's what you wanted, wasn't it? And then, just when I think I'll never see him again, Oliver lets his guard down, just a bit, and all I want to do is pull him into my arms and make his pain go away. Honestly, who even am I at this point? I have no idea how to fix all the pain I've caused. All I know is this: I'll die before I let Oliver walk out of my life again. Oliver Ever After is Book 3 in the 8 Million Hearts series. While each book can be read on its own, they're even more fun to read together. Oliver Ever After is a 135,000 word, second-chance romance full of snark, sweetness, and a healthy serving of steam. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.
