&“Recommended Reading is swoon-worthy in every possible way! Bobby's story is a sheer delight and an ode to book lovers…
everywhere who believe that the magic of stories reaches beyond the page.&” ―Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling authorIn this opposites-attract YA rom-com inspired by Emma, a failed romantic gesture puts a damper on a queer teen bookseller&’s summer of book matching and matchmaking until a handsome lifeguard and romance skeptic waltzes into his bookstore. Sometimes you get a second chance at happily ever after when you least expect it . . .Curvaceous, clever, and an avid reader, seventeen-year-old Bobby Ashton never misses a main character moment. So when it comes to asking out his crush, he plans a romantic gesture grand enough to go down in local history. Unfortunately, though, his extensive knowledge of every rom-com trope ever doesn&’t prepare him for how tragically he misreads the situation. Suddenly Bobby&’s very public romantic gesture turns into an ordeal so embarrassing it could be a villain origin story. Having masterfully shattered every plan for his perfect summer before college, Bobby&’s last resort is working at his uncle&’s sleepy bookstore. Soon, Bobby is expertly recommending books for customers to perfectly cure what ails them. Attempting to rebound after a breakup? There&’s a book for that. Trying to tame your crochety coworker? There&’s a book for that too. Then a plot twist Bobby never saw coming walks through the door in the form of Luke, an unfairly attractive and staunchly anti-romantic lifeguard. Bobby&’s blossoming connection with Luke reminds him of some of his favorite tropes: grumpy-sunshine, quippy banter, and even forced proximity. But after his last romantic disaster, should Bobby use all the tricks in his arsenal to turn Luke&’s head? Or is he misreading all the signs again? Do grand gestures really need to be so . . . grand?Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli, Kacen Callender, and Jason June, Recommended Reading is a bighearted rom-com about discovering love beyond what&’s in the books . . . but hey, the perfect recommendation can get you pretty far!
