#1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell has captured the hearts of readers all over the world. Now, for the first time ever, her three critically acclaimed young adult novels are together at last in one e-bundle. Discovering your new favorite author has never been easier! Eleanor & Park Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits--smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love--and just how hard it pulled you under. Fangirl Cath and Wren are not only identical twins, they are also the two biggest Simon Snow fans ever. Or at least, they used to be. Now that they are starting their freshman year of college, Wren is moving on to new things and leaving Cath behind. But Cath isn't quite ready to let go. Carry On Carry On - The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

Eleanor & Park
Same author's misfit-outsiders first love and tender slow burn, but the family abuse storyline is darker and the ending less settled.
The Rainbow Rowell Collection
Same author and awkward-misfit first-love voice with slow-burn pining, but this bundle adds a queer chosen-one fantasy romance and adult second-chance story.
Pumpkin Heads
Keeps the shy nerd pining and gentle friends-to-lovers warmth, but it's a single autumn night in art, lighter with no mental-illness weight.
Lola and the boy next door
Another quirky creative girl growing into friends-to-lovers feelings; lighter and sunnier, with a love triangle instead of anxiety and family crisis.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
Gentle, low-heat teen romance with found-family warmth and college-transition nerves, but cozier and less shadowed by mental illness.
The Summer I Turned Pretty
Shy girl noticing the boy she's always known, same soft slow burn; more beachy love triangle drama and no fandom escapism.
