She's an elite cellist, and when she's not working in her stepmom's indie comic shop, she's prepping for the biggest audition of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRidley is barely holding it together. His parents own the biggest comic-store chain in the country, and Ridley can't stop disappointing them--that is, when they're even paying attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey meet one fateful night at a comic convention prom, and the two can't help falling for each other. Too bad their parents are at each other's throats every chance they get, making a relationship between them nearly impossible . . . unless they manage to keep it a secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen again, the feud between their families may be the least of their problems. As Ridley's anxiety spirals, Jubilee tries to help but finds her focus torn between her fast-approaching audition and their intensifying relationship. What if love can't conquer all? What if each of them needs more than the other can give?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"A deep dive into first love while learning to manage significant mental health challenges . . . Dugan's strength is in creating a diverse cast of characters. Ridley is bisexual, Jubilee struggles with how to identify and label her sexuality, and most of the supporting characters are queer-identified.\" --School Library Journal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Dugan","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43803019247859,"sku":"9780525516309","price":15.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9780525516309.jpg?v=1686518366","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/verona-comics-jennifer-dugan-9780525516309","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
