A. R. Capetta Knihy

Střední škola je peklo, které pohltí všechno, co máte rádi. Tohle moc dobře ví Robin Buckleyová, oblíbená postava třetí řady hororového sci-fi seriálu televize Netflix a nyní také hrdinka románu Rebelka Robin. Je začátek školního roku a Robin a její partička se rozhodli, že se pokusí zapadnout mezi spolužáky. Plán je jasný: Kluci si najdou holku, holky si najdou kluka a povedou nudné řeči o škole a budoucí kariéře. Budou se zkrátka tvářit, že jsou „normální“. Robin předstírat umí, dělá to celé roky v naději, že si holky, která hraje na lesní roh, umí několik jazyků a trousí jedovaté poznámky, nikdo nevšimne. Jenže je tu jedna okolnost, která do hrdinčiny pečlivě budované image nezapadá, něco, co Robin zjistila teprve nedávno: líbí se jí holky. Jediný způsob, jak zůstat sama sebou, je dát provinčnímu Hawkinsu vale a prchnout na léto do Evropy. Ale jak, když nemá peníze, rodiče jsou proti a na obzoru nikdo, s kým by se do tohoto dobrodružství mohla pustit? A. R.

A Lambda Literary Award Winner Teenage baker Syd sends ripples of heartbreak through Austin’s queer community when a batch of post-being-dumped brownies turns out to be magical—and makes everyone who eats them break up. “What’s done is done.” Unless, of course, it was done by my brownies. Then it’s getting undone. Syd (no pronouns, please) has always dealt with big, hard-to-talk-about things by baking. Being dumped is no different, except now Syd is baking at the Proud Muffin, a queer bakery and community space in Austin. And everyone who eats Syd’s breakup brownies . . . breaks up. Even Vin and Alec, who own the Proud Muffin. And their breakup might take the bakery down with it. Being dumped is one thing; causing ripples of queer heartbreak through the community is another. But the cute bike delivery person, Harley (he or they, check the pronoun pin, it’s probably on the messenger bag), believes Syd about the magic baking. And Harley believes Syd’s magical baking can fix things, too—one recipe at a time.
