“An absolute delight of a romcom from start to finish.” ―Rachael Lippincott, New York Times-bestselling author of She Gets the Girl"A love letter to boy-bands and fanfictions, Langford delivered a romance that makes me nostalgic for the nights I spent shamelessly reading under the covers and dreaming about love." ―Trinity Nguyen, bestselling author of A Bánh Mì for TwoFor fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon and Alice Oseman, this swoony, fast-paced romance stars a teen who falls in love with the lead singer of America's most popular boy band during a whirlwind summer tour.This is what dreams are made of.Every teenager in America knows eighteen-year-old Felix Song, the lead singer of the most popular boy band since One Direction. Unfortunately, Natalie Nielsen is no exception. Though she thinks of him more as an annoying rich kid from her hometown than a heartthrob.Uninterested in stardom, Natalie dreams of honoring her late dad’s legacy and making a positive impact on her beloved Deaf community by revamping her family’s run-down Deaf Center. The issue? She has no money. When Felix's little sister's hearing loss begins to accelerate, he gives Natalie a generous job offer that would help secure the Center’s future: but she must accompany him on tour this summer to teach him ASL.What begins as a professional arrangement soon morphs into stolen kisses and late-night rendezvous. But as their connection deepens, so do the risks―and when their relationship suddenly takes center stage, it’s not only their hearts but Felix’s career on the line. Amid relentless public scrutiny, contractual obligations, and meddling band members, Natalie must decide if their dreams can co-exist in the spotlight.

romance books where both characters are disabled!

ad | Dating in real life can be a lot more intimidating than it is in a novel—especially when you’re disabled and have to worry about ableism and accessibility. That’s where Dateability comes in! Dateability is a free dating app built specifically with disabled and chronically ill people in mind.

Dateability was founded by sisters Jacqueline and Alexa to be an inclusive alternative to mainstream dating apps after Jacqueline experienced discrimination on dating apps due to her chronic illness and disability. I especially love the Disability Deets section on your profile that lets you add details about your disabilities or access needs if you want to. It’s so clear that this app was built FOR disabled people, and with love for our community, and helps alleviate a lot of potential anxieties around dating while disabled 🩷
