Description
Return to Camelot in the much anticipated and funny follow-up to the instant New York Times bestselling and YA Book Prize winning Gwen and Art Are Not in Love.
They fell in love. They won a great battle. It should have been happily ever after. But 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 rumoured 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?

This is, without exaggeration, one of the best sequels I’ve ever read. I absolutely loved being back with these characters, not just Gwen, Gabe, Art, and Bridget, but the side characters too. Florian, for instance, was such a warm presence; I only wish we’d gotten to meet his child.
As someone who lives with anxiety, this story felt strikingly real. Gabe’s panic, in particular, hit close to home, at times almost uncomfortably so. The way Croucher portrays PTSD, anxiety, and Gabe’s & Bridget's persistent feeling of not being “good enough” is honest and deeply affecting.
What makes this book stand out even more is how rare it is to see this type of sequel. These stories often end at the victory, but this one understands that healing, acceptance, and perseverance are ongoing processes, and just as important.
I genuinely hope Croucher never stops writing about these characters. Their story still feels alive, and I’d gladly read another sequel.
