Description

You arent merry, said Clem to her captor. And you arent all men. So theres been some marketing confusion somewhere along the line. When Mariel finds out that her band of Merry Men have kidnapped the wrong person, she's a whole new level of miffed. They were supposed to be bringing back the regional healer, Old Rosie, who, rumour has it, has been aiding the Sheriff of Nottingham. They were not supposed to kidnap her assistant, Clem a chatty, freckled, curly-haired whirlwind of a teenage girl who is unnervingly cheerful about being knocked out with horrible-smelling herbs and bundled into the back of a wagon. As the granddaughter of Robin Hood and a newly blooded captain of the Merry Men, Mariel has a lot to prove, and this mission has gone instantly and massively pear-shaped So begins a love story to rival that of Robin Hood and Maid Marian, and an adventure that will change the lives of the inhabitants of the Greenwood for good not to mention the course of myth and history.

Reviews

Exactly what I need right now a delightful, heartwarming, hilarious historical romp, overflowing with queer panic and terrible jokes. I loved it * Alice Oseman, bestselling author of HEARTSTOPPER on GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE *
Fun and genuinely funny, with lovely friendships and first-rate dialogue. Gwen and Art may not be in love, but I fell for them both * Rainbow Rowell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the SIMON SNOW Trilogy on GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE *
A total, rollicking delight Lex Croucher is one of my favorite romcom authors, and they should be yours, too * Casey Mcquiston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of I KISSED SHARA WHEELER and RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE on GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE *
Congrats to Gwen and Arthur on their permanent acquisition of my ENTIRE heart. Suffice it to say that I loved this book to a degree thats slightly ridiculous * Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of SIMON VS. THE HOMOSAPIENS AGENDA on GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE *
