Recenzii

GWEN AND ART is exactly what I need right now - a delightful, heartwarming, hilarious historical romp, overflowing with queer panic and terrible jokes. I loved it.
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.
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 favourite romcom authors, and they should be yours too.
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
An utter delight. Croucher conjures a fresh new Camelot, full of jousts, hijinks and exuberantly queer characters that will make you swoon. This is the gay Camelot I always wanted!
This book does a flirty tango with the Arthurian legends while also sticking a KICK ME sign on their back: it contains enough sword fights and banter to keep the pages flying, but it's also a sharp and compassionate look at the terrifying wonder of being a queer young person coming to terms with yourself. GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE is a work of hilarious and heart-mending genius. I read it in a joyous rush and I can't wait to buy it for literally everyone I know.
Finally. A historical rom-com that's queer as hell. And fun! This medieval story has everything: sword-fighting, sharp wit and ridiculous shenanigans to warm the heart.
Swoonworthy, hilarious and full of witty repartee, this gorgeous historical romance will sweep readers off their feet
A queer medieval romp with contemporary sensibilities [...] Smart dialogue drives this outrageously entertaining take on the fake dating trope
Lex Croucher's debut YA novel is categorically not a Camelot retelling. Instead it spins a fun Knight's Tale-esque medieval story that's part romantic romp, part subversive comedy, and all kinds of brilliant."
A queer Knight's Tale (that should persuade you already) this rom-com has a glittering cast of adorable characters, cheeky world-building and more witty repartee than you can shake a sword at
Lex Croucher's debut young adult novel is crowned a huge success, and much credit needs to be given the writing style. It will have the reader laughing out loud one minute, and in tears the next.
A racy, funny romp of a rom-com
