We are happy to share some good news on the Quirky Romantics series by Ulla Onerva! Gyldendal Astra has acquired the Swedish rights for COTTON CANDY DILEMMA and CARAMEL CATASTROPHE! The deal was closed by Noora Al-Ani at Ahlbäck Agency.
These two books are part of the warm, sparkling, and inclusive Quirky Romantics trilogy—a contemporary feel‑good series celebrating romance, literature, and the brave messiness of growing up. With its irresistible blend of humour, heart, and queer romantic tension, the novel speaks directly to readers who crave emotionally intelligent romantic fiction.
Following the enthusiastic reception of the first book, The Cotton Candy Dilemma, Caramel Catastrophe deepens the themes that have already resonated so strongly with readers: a love of classic literature, the complexity of young emotions, and the tenderness of chosen communities.
✓ A fresh, modern feel‑good series that blends romance, humour, and literary fandom
✓ Inspired by timeless classics from Jane Austen and Charlotte and Emily Brontë
✓ Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Holly Bourne, Ali Hazelwood, and Alice Oseman
✓ A delightful exploration of queer crushes, online friendships, and the emotional chaos of coming of age
We have the English chapter-by-chapter synopsis for you to read for both books. We also have an English sample and full draft translation of the first book available!
