Jandy Nelson's beloved, critically adored debut is now an Apple TV+ and A24 original film starring Jason Segel, Cherry Jones, Grace Kaufman, and Jacques Colimon. “Both a profound meditation on loss and grieving and an exhilarating and very sexy romance." —NPR Adrift after her sister Bailey’s sudden death, Lennie finds herself torn between quiet, seductive Toby—Bailey’s boyfriend who shares Lennie's grief—and Joe, the new boy in town who bursts with life and musical genius. Each offers Lennie something she desperately needs. One boy helps her remember. The other lets her forget. And she knows if the two of them collide, her whole world will explode. As much a laugh-out-loud celebration of love as a nuanced and poignant portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her makes for an always honest, often uproarious, and absolutely unforgettable read.

It Ends With Us
Another grief-shadowed romance where a girl is caught between two men, but far darker and more explicit, with abuse at its center.
Slammed
Also a teen reeling from a parent's death who finds solace in poetry and a forbidden boy; gentler, no love triangle.
Bad Girl Reputation
Shares a funeral-driven return home and grief-fueled attraction, but older characters and much steamier second-chance heat.
Crown Me Dead
Keeps the torn-between-two-men tension and looming death, but swaps small-town music for a violent, explicit fantasy court.
Sex and Vanity
Same pull between two very different suitors and family expectation, but comic, glamorous, and free of bereavement's weight.
Le ciel est partout
Same grief-and-first-love story with the sister's boyfriend versus the new boy, just read in French instead of English.
