SUMMARY:Book Launch: Amelia, If Only w/ Becky Albertalli and Page Powars
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Pride with this very special author event! Becky Albertalli and Split Rock Books are coming to the library for the launch of Amelia, If Only and the 10 year anniversary of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda (adapted into the major motion picture Love, Simon). The acclaimed author will be in conversation with Page Powars, the author of the upcoming book And They Were Roommates, and signed copies of all of her books will be available for purchase.\nAbout Amelia, If Only\nAmelia Applebaum isn’t in love with Walter Holland. He just happens to be her favorite moderately famous, chaotically bisexual YouTuber. Who she just happened to invite to prom. (But it’s fine. No, for real. If you delete the post, it didn’t happen.)\nOkay, maybe her friends are right: She’s slightly parasocially infatuated. But Amelia just knows sparks would fly—if only she could connect with Walter for real.\nIf only he would host a meet and greet.\nIf only it were just a short road trip away.\nAnd if only Amelia could talk her best friends into making it the perfect last hurrah before graduation—even her newly single, always-cynical, guitar-toting best friend Natalie.\nOne thing’s for sure: All roads lead to butterflies.\nBut what if Amelia’s butterflies aren’t for Walter at all?\nAbout And They Were Roommates\nRomance is the last thing on Charlie’s mind.\nOn his first day at Valentine Academy for Boys, Charlie’s carefully crafted plan to hide his identity as the school’s only trans student is set in motion. Only to be immediately destroyed. Charlie has been assigned the worst roommate in the world (possibly the universe): Jasper Grimes, the boy who broke Charlie’s heart the year before he transitioned.\nExcept, Jasper doesn’t recognize Charlie.\nWho knows how long until Jasper realizes the truth? Charlie has one shot at freedom and a dorm room all to himself, but only if he helps Jasper write love letters on behalf of their fellow students first. No problem. Charlie can help Jasper with some silly letters.\nLong nights spent discussing deep romantic feelings with Jasper? Surely, no unintended consequences will arise…\n\n
