Bridget and Gabe Are Not Okay – Croucher Lex (2026)

Return to Camelot in this funny follow-up to the instant New York Times bestselling and YA Book Prize-winning Gwen and Art Are Not in Love. Gabriel and Arthur have fallen apart, and the newly crowned King Gabriel is having panic attacks in cupboards between council meetings. Unable to tell Arthur how unwell he is, Gabriel sets him free to find love with someone who can get through the day without breaking down. Bridget has lost her enthusiasm for sparring, forfeiting again and again in the lists. When she is invited to join Gabriel’s round table, she hopes it will bring the change she needs. Yet navigating the reality of her relationship with Gwen after happily ever after feels impossible now that Bridget no longer feels like the dashing knight Gwen fell in love with. As the kingdom reels from an attempted uprising and rumours spread of the Holy Grail, the Questing Beast and the Green Knight, the group sets off on a disastrous PR tour. Can Gabriel become the king his country deserves, can Bridget regain her jousting form, and can they find their way back to the courtly love that once seemed destined?
