See You at the Summit


“The bi romance of your dreams is finally here!” —Cosmopolitan “There are so many queer readers who need this story and See You at the Summit delivers with heart and heat.” —Alison Cochrun A heartfelt and sexy romance novel following one bi woman’s messy journey through coming out—and reluctantly falling for a straight man. From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Wicked Darlings. Girl comes out as bi. Girl falls for a straight guy. Simone Whittaker has spent the first three decades of her life pretending to be straight. But when the girl she never dared call her girlfriend walks away, she decides she’s done living in fear. Her uptight parents don’t take the news well, but a viral coming-out post and a new job at Toronto’s Rainbow Museum offer a fresh start—and a crash course in queer adulthood. That is, until her first day of work, when Simone ruins a project designed by Ryan Foley—the museum’s gruff and annoyingly hot carpenter—earning her the top spot on his enemies list. When they’re forced to take a work trip to the Whistler Pride and Ski Festival together, Simone vows not to let a grumpy straight guy ruin her first Pride. But Ryan keeps surprising her—thoughtful, vulnerable, and impossible to ignore. As sparks fly on chairlifts and by crackling fires, one snowstorm—and one bed—changes everything. Back in Toronto, however, reality sets in. Dating a guy—and being mistaken for straight—weren’t exactly part of Simone’s coming-out plan. As the pressure builds between the identity she’s just beginning to explore and the relationship that wasn’t supposed to happen, she starts to wonder: What if claiming one part of herself means erasing the other?

Přestože se složení její rodiny několikrát změnilo, všichni rodiče ji zahrnovali láskou. Odnesla si od nich spoustu dobrého, ale některé šrámy se jen tak nezahojí. To jí připomene především rušný poslední ročník střední školy, v němž kromě učení na přijímací zkoušky dojde i na pár zvratů, které Júko donutí pořádně se zamyslet nad svými hodnotami, názory na přátelství a v neposlední řadě i nad tím, co jí dali a možná i vzali všichni její rodiče. Nakonec Júko čeká i první velká láska a zakládání vlastní rodiny, které s sebou přinese ještě jednu výzvu před poslední změnou příjmení — přesvědčit Morimiju, aby jí a jejímu budoucímu manželovi dal svolení ke svatbě.
