"A total, rollicking delight. Gwen & Art gave me the same cheeky, swoony, giddy, irresistible high of the first time I saw A Knight's Tale. Lex Croucher is one of my favorite romcom authors, and they should be yours, too." - Casey McQuiston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of I Kissed Shara Wheeler
Heartstopper meets A Knight's Tale in this queer medieval rom com YA debut about love, friendship, and being brave enough to change the course of history.
It's been hundreds of years since King Arthur's reign. His descendant, Arthur, a future Lord and general gadabout, has been betrothed to Gwendoline, the quick-witted, short-tempered princess of England, since birth. The only thing they can agree on is that they despise each other.
They're forced to spend the summer together at Camelot in the run up to their nuptials, and within 24 hours, Gwen has discovered Arthur kissing a boy and Arthur has gone digging for Gwen's childhood diary and found confessions about her crush on the kingdom's only lady knight, Bridget Leclair.
Realizing they might make better allies than enemies, they make a reluctant pact to cover for each other, and as things heat up at the annual royal tournament, Gwen is swept off her feet by her knight and Arthur takes an interest in Gwen's royal brother. Lex Croucher's Gwen & Art Are Not in Love is chock full of sword-fighting, found family, and romantic shenanigans destined to make readers fall in love.
"In this frivolous medieval romp of a queer rom-com, Lex Croucher toys with Arthurian legend to delightful effect." - Entertainment Weekly
"Fun and genuinely funny, with lovely friendships and first-rate dialogue. Gwen and Art may not be in love, but I fell for both of them." - Rainbow Rowell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Simon Snow trilogy
"Gwen & Art Are Not in Love was exactly what I needed right now-a delightful, heart-warming, hilarious historical romp, overflowing with queer panic and terrible jokes. I loved it." - Alice Oseman, New York Times bestselling author of the Heartstopper series

This was so cute. While Gwen & Art are not in love with each other, I'm for sure in love with this book and the characters - some make it easier than others but I love the whole bunch. Queer Arthurian RomCom? Consider me sold. As soon as I knew it was this kind of book, I had to have it and would love it. After finally getting around to reading it, it confirmed what I thought. The writing was amazing, it just flowed and I laughed out multiple times. That in combination with the characters made this truly amazing.
Ein vergnügliches und kurzweiliges Hörbuch für mich. Perfekte Sommerlektüre, da flockig-leicht und nicht allzu tief oder kompliziert. Es hat sich für mich schon von Anfang an zu einem Wohlfühlbuch entwickelt, sodass ich gar nicht mehr aufhören wollte, zuzuhören. Leider musste ich zwischenzeitlich pausieren, da ich mich um Dinge wie Arbeit kümmern musste... Es ist kein Werk, von welchem wir jetzt allzu viel erwarten müssen, aber ich war die ganze Zeit über sehr vergnügt und interessiert. Was will ich mehr?
The best part about this book was Arthur being a sassy lil bitch. I would give this book a 4,25 , mostly because I just loved the dynamics between Arthur and Gwen. But I didn’t like the last bit before the end, cause Gwen was being a little bitch (even more than before, that I could accept somehow). All in all I really loved it.
