Product Details

Amelia Applebaum isn’t in love with Walter Holland. He just happens to be her favorite moderately famous, chaotically bisexual YouTuber. Who she just happened to invite to prom. (But it’s fine. No, for real. If you delete the post, it didn’t happen.)

Okay, maybe her friends are right: she’s slightly parasocially infatuated. But Amelia just knows sparks would fly—if only she could meet Walter for real.

If only he would host a meet and greet.

If only it were just a short road trip away.

And if only she could talk her best friends into making it the perfect last hurrah before graduation—even Amelia’s newly single, always-cynical, guitar-toting best friend Natalie.

One thing’s for sure: all roads lead to butterflies.

But what if Amelia’s butterflies aren’t for Walter at all?

Becky Albertalli is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of William C. Morris Award winner and National Book Award longlist title Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (now a major motion picture, Love, Simon); The Upside of Unrequited; Leah on the Offbeat; the Simonverse novella Love, Creekwood; What If It’s Us and Here's to Us (cowritten with Adam Silvera); Yes No Maybe So (cowritten with Aisha Saeed); Kate in Waiting; and Imogen, Obviously, a Stonewall Honor Book. Becky lives with her family near Atlanta. You can visit her online at beckyalbertalli.com.

Albertalli creates a realistic microcosm of queer and Jewish teen culture with no shortage of her signature humor and clever snark... The friends’ banter is warm, endearing, and relatable. Fresh and witty on the surface, tender and heartfelt at its core. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The novel is written in first-person narration that brilliantly portrays how Amelia’s delightful brain works... Albertalli masterfully weaves together characters from Amelia’s life with fan favorites from her previous work Imogen, Obviously (2023), but the focus is wholly on Amelia and her journey. Amelia is vibrant and easy to root for, and what she learns about parasocial relationships is impactful for all. Guess who's back? Albertalli's back, venturing into one of her previous worlds with more fun, chaotic queer romance and a relevant message for the social media age." -Booklist "The witty banter between Amelia and her friends on their road trip and their first glimpses of college life add more layers of humor to this laugh-out-loud, adorable queer romance that is a perfect summer read for any teen who has been in parasocial love with a favorite celebrity." -Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
