Bridget & Gabe Are Not Okay
New Release"Camelot’s most delightful chaos agents are back for more high jinks, yearning and growing pains." - The New York Times
The sequel to the unforgettable New York Times bestseller Gwen & Art Are Not In Love that invites readers on a quest chock full of wit, undeniable yearning, and second chances.
They fell in love. They fought a great battle. And they won. Now, Camelot’s famous couples have fallen apart.
Newly crowned King Gabriel is having panic attacks in cupboards in-between council meetings. He can't tell Arthur just how not okay he is—so he's set him free, to find love with someone who can get through the day without breaking down.
Bridget has lost her spark for sparring, forfeiting again and again in the lists. When she’s invited to join Gabriel's round table, she hopes it’ll be the change she needs. But trying to navigate the post-happily-ever-after reality of a relationship with Gwen, when Bridget no longer feels like the dashing knight Gwen fell in love with, feels impossible.
With the kingdom still reeling from an attempted uprising, and rumored sightings of the holy grail, the questing beast, and the green knight happening across the country, the gang depart on a PR tour destined for disaster. Can Gabriel be the king his country deserves? Can Bridget get her jousting groove back? And will they find their way back to the courtly love that once seemed fated?
In the much anticipated follow-up to Gwen & Art Are Not in Love, Gabriel and Bridget set out on a daring quest to put love back on the table.

I was so grateful to receive an ARC of this because I absolutely loved the first book. While I don't think a sequel was necessarily needed after finishing it, I still really enjoyed returning to these characters and their world. One of the biggest strengths of this book is its characters. I loved seeing new layers to Gabe and Bridget through their perspectives, especially as we didn't have access to their thoughts and feelings in the first book. It gave them so much more depth and made them feel even more human. It also felt so good to be back with this group, and I thoroughly enjoyed the introduction of the new characters, particularly Florian and Neil. Despite exploring heavier themes, the story retains the same warmth and light-hearted humour that made me fall in love with the first book. The found family dynamic is just as comforting as ever, and I especially appreciated how thoughtfully the book continues to explore sexuality and gender. One of my favourite aspects was the portrayal of grief. I loved how it was shown as both irrational and rational at the same time. It felt incredibly authentic and added a real emotional depth to the story. The one element that frustrated me was the reliance on miscommunication. It's a trope I've never been particularly fond of, but I also had to remind myself that these characters are still young and finding their place in the world. Their struggles to communicate honestly with one another felt believable, even if it occasionally tested my patience. I wasn't quite as captivated by this book as I was by the first. The original had a much bigger emotional impact on me, and while this sequel didn't reach those same heights, it was still a heartfelt, funny and comforting return to characters I care about. If you loved the first book for its warmth, humour and heart, I think you'll find plenty to enjoy here too.
