Puck

One of Marie Claire’s Most Anticipated Romances of 2026“A madcap speedrun that pushes the boundaries of the rom-com genre in the best way. An insanely funny read, perfect for gender neutral goblins and the people who love them.” —TJ Alexander, USA Today bestselling author of A Gentleman’s Gentleman“Allen uses Puck as an agent of chaos to highlight the manicured production of wedding culture and how heteronormativity is performed and policed … Bursting with humor, interpersonal drama, and badly timed desire, this equally smart and playful narrative has a point to make: that control is antithetical to intimacy and the course of true love, whether queer or straight, resists both scripting and stage management. It’s a delight.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“A masterful adaptation of the bard’s most riotous play with the perfect combination of humor, heart, and wit. This book is a must read for Shakespeare nerds everywhere.” —Nisha Sharma, award-winning author of the If Shakespeare Were an Auntie series“Full of frothy fun, the story is also earnest and emotionally grounded when it needs to be. An excellent romantic comedy with both style and substance.” —Library Journal (starred review)“Full of mischief and romance, this book is everything you’d want in a Shakespearean retelling. A joyful, riotous romp!” —Ashley Herring Blake, award-winning author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care“Delightful chaos, sizzling spice, and the best personal growth readers can ask for … a superb example of a classics-inspired reimagining … Allen has masterfully pulled the strings of the romance genre to engineer this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud romance that all can enjoy.” —Booklist (starred review)“So much fun! Unique and heartfelt, Puck by Samantha Allen balances humor and swoony spice with a thought-provoking story.” —Farah Heron, author of Accidentally Engaged”[A] fun and appropriately chaotic Shakespeare-inspired rom-com.” —Book Riot“Hilariously messy and charmingly honest.” —Natasha Bishop, author of Only for the Week
