If You'll Have Me

About this book

“Super sweet and totally heartwarming!”—Alice Oseman, bestselling author of Heartstopper and Loveless Momo Gardner is the kind of friend who’s always ready to lend a helping hand. She’s introverted, sensitive, and maybe a little too trusting, but she likes to believe the best in people. PG, on the other hand, is a bit of a lone wolf, despite her reputation for being a flirt and a player. Underneath all that cool mystery, she’s actually quick to smile, and when she falls for someone, she falls hard. An unexpected meet-cute brings the two together, kicking off the beginning of an awkward yet endearing courtship—but with their drastically different personalities, Momo’s overprotective friend, and PG’s past coming back to haunt her, Momo and PG’s romance is put to the test.

Censorship history

In 2024, "If You'll Have Me" by Eunnie was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content. This ban reflects a growing trend of challenges against books featuring LGBTQ+ themes, often initiated by parents and community members at school board meetings. Specific instances include formal complaints lodged by local advocacy groups, leading to votes by school boards to remove the book from library shelves and curricula. As of now, the ban remains upheld in these districts, with ongoing discussions about the appropriateness of such content in educational settings.
