Gwen & Art Are Not in Love is a queer King Arthur retelling that takes place during Medieval times. Gwen & Art are both noble teenagers (Gwen being a princess) and have been betrothed to one another essentially since birth. Unfortunately, they hate each other. When they realize they’re both hot for other people, they decide to call a truce and marry in hopes that they can carry on their extramarital love lives in secret. But the kingdom begins to find itself vulnerable to outside forces and many obstacles attempt to break the bond formed between G&A as well as the rest of their crew.
IFUCKINGLOVEDTHISBOOK! Y’all this book was incredible. It was so freaking funny and I had such a blast reading it. I really took my time with this one because I was having so much fun and I didn’t want it to end. I started off side-eyeing both G&A pretty hard but by the end, I was ready to strap on some armor and go to battle for them. All of the characters in this book are so lovable. The diversity is so well thought-out and executed. The character growth was incredible for both of the stubborn asshole MCs (said affectionately because they are in fact the lomls). And the medical rep! I won’t spoil the major medical rep at the end but the author did confirm that Bridget has endometriosis and your girl loves to feel seen in books!
This was probably the most fun read I’ve ever had. I was laughing the entire time but also had my whole heart invested in the seriousness of the plot. Absolutely brilliant work by the author.
Also, I would commit crimes for a copy of Gabe’s speech at the end. Lex, let me know if you can be persuaded to write this in the future 👀
Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for this ARC
