LOVE AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS
For fans of Jenny Han and Sandhya Menon, this queer rom-com from award-winning author Misa Sugiura features a fake-dating setup with an unexpected twist.
When Nozomi Nagai pictured the ideal summer romance, a fake one wasn't what she had in mind.
That was before she met Willow. She's the perfect girl: gorgeous, glamorous, and... heartbroken? And when she enlists Nozomi to pose as her new "girlfriend" to make her ex jealous, Nozomi is a willing volunteer.
Nozomi has a plan of her own: to make Willow realize that she is better than merely a stand-in, and turn their fauxmance into something real. She won't let anything ruin her chance at love. Not Willow's beautiful ex, Arden; not her own family drama; and definitely not the snarky coworker at her museum internship who turns out to be Arden's new, real girlfriend.
But as the lies pile up, it's not long before all of Nozomi's plans start to unravel since, as we all know, when love goes wrong it's one of those "natural disasters."
Misa Sugiura's ancestors include a poet, a priestess, a samurai, and a stowaway. Her first novel, It's Not Like It's a Secret, was the winner of the Asian/Pacific American Award for YA Literature. Her second novel, This Time Will be Different, was the HarperCollins Children's Books Lead Read for Summer 2019. Misa lives under a giant oak tree in Silicon Valley with her husband, two sons, two cats, and a graybanded king snake.
