The Cuffing Game by Lyla Lee (Katherine Tegan Books)
Mabel
Hsu at HarperCollins has bought in an exclusive submission The Cuffing
Game by Lyla Lee (I'll Be the One; Flip the Script). Pitched as a
K-drama take on Pride and Prejudice, but if Elizabeth and Darcy were
forced to work together on a LGBTQ-friendly Love Island-esque
reality TV show, this YA rom-com follows bisexual film student Mia
Yoon, who needs a star to help generate interest for her show—so in
comes the campus heartthrob, Noah Jang. Publication is set for winter
2025; Penny Moore at Aevitas Creative Management did the deal for North
American rights.

Always Raining Here by Hazel and Bell (First Second) - YA graphic novel, adapted from a webcomic, previously self-published.
The stand alone adaptation of the popular webcomic by the same name about the down-to-earth courtship between two gay teenagers as they fumble with high school, parental expectations, their dreams, and each other.
Carter is an impulsive, fun-loving, extremely gay teen on a senior-year mission to finally hook up with any cute, single guy who will have him. Unfortunately, his options are slim. Enter recently-single Adrian, Carter's very cute, hardworking, and stressed-out target who rebuffs all of his clumsy seduction techniques. Adrian initially plays along but slams on the breaks when he realizes he is still in love with his ex.
After a messy, uninhibited night at a house party that results in Carter helping both Adrian and his best friend Maria— the two boys form a tentative friendship. As their friendship progresses through countless hangouts and a few too many pizza slices, the two become integral to one another. But can their vague relationship survive their first official hookup, Adrian’s self-destructiveness, and a big fight that threatens any chance of either confessing?
