Gwen and Art Are Not in Love

‘Congrats to Gwen and Arthur on their permanent acquisition of my ENTIRE heart. Suffice it to say that I loved this book to a degree that’s slightly ridiculous’
—Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda

Gwen, the quick-witted Princess of England, and Arthur, future lord and general gadabout, have been betrothed since birth. Unfortunately, the only thing they can agree on is that they hate each other.

When Gwen catches Art kissing a boy and Art discovers where Gwen hides her diary (complete with racy entries about Bridget Leclair, the kingdom’s only female knight), they become reluctant allies.

By pretending to fall for each other, their mutual protection will be assured. But how long can they keep up the ruse? With Gwen growing closer to Bridget, and Art becoming unaccountably fond of Gabriel, Gwen’s infuriatingly serious, bookish brother, the path to true love is looking far from straight…

Written by Lex Croucher, published by Bloomsbury on 16 May 2023, Gwen and Art Are Not in Love is the witty, romantic, queer medieval YA comedy drama you’ll fall head over heels for.

‘GWEN AND ART was exactly what I need right now—a delightful, heart-warming, hilarious historical romp, overflowing with queer panic and terrible jokes. I loved it.’
—Alice Oseman, bestselling author of Heartstopper

‘Fun and genuinely funny, with lovely friendships and first-rate dialogue. Gwen and Art may not be in love, but I fell for them both’
—Rainbow Rowell, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Simon Snow Trilogy
