What If Its Us
From NYT bestselling authors Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda) and Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) comes a long-awaited collaboration about two very different boys who can't decide if the universe is pushing them together or pulling them apart. Meet Arthur and Ben.
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 carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend's things.
But when the boys have a chance meeting at the post office, they leave wondering what exactly the universe does have in store for them. What if - in a city of eight million people - they can't find each other again?What if they do ... and then can't nail a first date even after three do-overs?What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn't try hard enough?What if life really isn't like a Broadway play?But what if it is?WHAT IF IT'S US PRAISE FOR WHAT IF IT'S US: "Romantic, realistic and sweet, this perfectly captures New York, teenage love and life in that gray area when you're not quite an adult and not quite a child either" - Lauren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe PRAISE FOR ADAM SILVERA: 'History Is All You Left Me overflows with tenderness and heartache.

Leah mimo rytmu
Leah Burkeová je cool bubeníčka, majsterka v tom, ako byť vždy nad vecou, a najlepšia kamoška Simona Spiera z bestsellerovej knihy Ja,Simon... proti pravidlám Homo sapiens. V ďalšom románe od Becky Albertalli sa dostáva do centra diania, aby rozohrala svoj part v príbehu o prvej láske a strastiach aj slastiach maturitného ročníka.
Keď ide o bubnovanie, Leah nemá problém udržať rytmus, čo sa jej v skutočnom živote veľmi nedarí. Dokonca aj vo svojej partii tak trochu vyčnieva – ako jediné dieťa slobodnej matky to má rozhodne ťažšie ako jej priatelia. A hoci jej mama vie, že Leah je bisexuálka, nenazbierala ešte dosť odvahy, aby to povedala aj niektorému zo svojich kamošov. Dokonca ani Simonovi, ktorý už má coming out za sebou. Vzťahy v partii začínajú byť s blížiacimi sa maturitami a odchodom na vysokú školu poriadne napäté. Dlhoročné priateľstvo sa otriasa v základoch a pre Leah je čoraz ťažšie naladiť sa s nimi na rovnakú vlnovú dĺžku – najmä keď si uvedomí, že s jedným z nich by mohlo ísť o viac než len o kamarátstvo.

Molly vo svete neopätovaných lások
Sedemnásťročná Molly vie všetko o neopätovanej láske – zažila ju presne 26 ráz. Zamiluje sa na počkanie – a ešte rýchlejšie sama seba presvedčí, že to nemá význam. Aj preto sa jej tieto milostné neúspechy darilo vždy udržať v tajnosti. Lebo jediného sa Molly bojí viac než hocičoho na svete - odmietnutia. A tak je opatrná. Dievčatá, čo nosia veľkosť XXL, sa predsa vždy musia mať na pozore. Keď si však jej sestra dvojča nájde priateľku a spolu s ňou do ich života vstúpi aj frajerkin neskutočne dobre vyzerajúci hipsterský kamoš, Molly získa novú nádej na lásku, tentoraz možno s happy endom. Má to však jeden háčik: je ním Mollin čudný známy z práce, totálny nerd, najväčší fanúšik Pána prsteňov a renesančných festivalov. Môže ich zvláštne puto zamotať 27. zabuchnutie? Ďalšia kniha od Becky Albertalli, autorky knižného aj filmového hitu Ja, Simon, prináša opäť veľkú porciu lásky mnohých podôb, jej vzostupov a pádov – a ktovie, možno aj niečo málo zo Simona.
Čo ak sme to my
Arthur trávi prázdniny v New Yorku a práve Broadway ho naučil, že vesmír vás môže prekvapiť nezabudnuteľnou romancou vtedy, keď to najmenej čakáte. Ben je presvedčený o tom, že vesmír sa nemá čo starať do jeho života. Ak by mu totiž kryl chrbát, určite by teraz nesmeroval na poštu, aby odoslal balík s vecami po bývalom priateľovi.
Môžeme len hádať, čo si nevyspytateľný vesmír na nich oboch prichystal, keď sa rozhodol skrížiť im cesty práve na pošte.
Čo ak nič? A ich životy sa uberú rôznymi smermi.
Čo ak všetko? A ich príbeh čaká šťastný koniec.
Čo ak?
Bestselleroví autori Becky Albertalli (Ja, Simon, Leah mimo rytmu, Molly vo svete neopätovaných lások) a Adam Silvera spojili svoje sily, aby napísali unikátnu love story o tom, nakoľko máme svoj osud vo vlastných rukách...

Yes No Maybe So
From New York Times bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed comes a heart-warming, hilarious story about the power of love and resistance.
Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state candidate - as long as he's behind the scenes. 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. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is cancelled, her parents are separating and now her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing - with some awkward guy she hardly knows ...
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.

[PRINCIPAL CAST LIST]
Kate Garfield
Anderson Walker
Best friends, and contrary to popular belief, not co-dependent. Examples:
Carpooling to and from theatre 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.
Enter Stage Left: Matt Olsson
He is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.
Turns out, communal crushes aren't so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson's friendship...

Heres To Us
In the follow-up to their charming NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, What If It's Us, best friends Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) and Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda) reunite to give Arthur and Ben another shot at true love.
From the creator of 13 Reasons Why, What If It's Us is soon to be a feature film!
Ben has spent his first year of college working on his fantasy manuscript with his writing partner Mario, who is a great Spanish tutor, and an even better kisser. So why can't he stop thinking about the fact that Arthur's back in town two years after they called it quits?
Arthur is in New York for a dream internship on Broadway, with a boyfriend back at home that he couldn't be happier with. But when he comes upon Ben cuddled up with a mystery boy, he starts to wonder if his feelings for Ben ever truly went away.
Even as the boys try to focus on their futures, they can't seem to help running into each other in the present. Is the universe forcing them to question if they're actually meant to be?
Possibly not. After all, things didn't work the first time around.
Possibly yes. After all, the sparks are still flying.
Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and raise a glass.
Here's to celebrating old friends!
Here's to embracing new beginnings!
Here's to believing in second chances!
Nech sme to navždy my (Čo ak sme to my 2)
Pokračovanie letnej love story Čo ak sme to my od autorov najobľúbenejších romantických príbehov!
Ben strávil prvý rok na výške prácou na rukopise svojej fantasy knihy spolu so svojím parťákom Mariom, ktorý skvelo doučuje španielčinu a ešte lepšie sa bozkáva. Tak prečo nedokáže prestať myslieť na to, že Arthur je dva roky po ich rozchode späť v meste?
Arthur je znovu v New Yorku - na vysnívanej stáži na Broadwayi a doma ho čaká priateľ, s ktorým by nemohol byť šťastnejší. Keď však narazí na Bena v objatí záhadného chalana, začne uvažovať, či jeho city k Benovi naozaj vyprchali.
Akokoľvek veľmi sa obaja snažia zamerať na budúcnosť, v ktorej sa ich cesty uberajú rôznymi smermi, v prítomnosti na seba ustavične narážajú. Núti ich vesmír zamyslieť sa, či vážne nepatria k sebe?
Možno nie. Koniec koncov, prvý raz to nevyšlo. Možno áno. Koniec koncov, iskry stále lietajú. Občas to skrátka treba risknúť.

Já, Simon
Šestnáctiletý Simon už nějakou dobu ví, že je gay, ale ještě není připravený sdělit to okolnímu světu. Jedinou výjimkou je tajemný Blue, se kterým si Simon už několik měsíců vyměňuje e-maily a jejich vzájemné pouto sílí. Jenže pak citlivá korespondence padne do nesprávných rukou a Simon se stane obětí vydírání: buď udělá, co se po něm chce, i když se mu to příčí, nebo riskuje, že si tajné e-maily přečte celá škola. V sázce je však ještě mnohem víc – plachého Bluea by nechtěná publicita mohla vyděsit a Simon už by nikdy nezjistil, kdo Blue ve skutečnosti je…
