Den unge og kyniske August er sikker på én ting: magisk og dybfølt kærlighed findes kun på film. Livet leves bedst alene, og med den overbevisning flytter hun til det kaotiske og pulserende New York. Men en dag i undergrundsbanen møder hun Jane – formidable, fortryllende og fabelagtige Jane. Og snart er hun dagens højdepunkt for August. Men Janes læderjakke og de hullede jeans har en årsag, for hun er i virkeligheden fanget i en tidslomme. Nu er det op til August at hjælpe Jane tilbage til 1970’erne. Så måske er det alligevel på tide at tro på kærlighedens magi …

Mette på fem år bor hos sin far, Morten, og hendes fars samlever, Erik. Indimellem kommer Mettes mor på besøg. Sammen fejrer de fødselsdag, spiser morgenmad i sengen og læser godnathistorier ligesom i alle mulige andre familier.”Mette bor hos Morten og Erik” er en højtlæsningsbog, der uhøjtideligt og hyggeligt beskriver hverdagslivet i en familie med to fædre og et barn. Bogen var den første børnebog i Danmark, der beskrev livet i en regnbuefamilie, og da den udkom første gang i 1981, var det med positive anmeldelser fra diverse danske aviser, der tog godt imod den banebrydende børnebog. Bogen blev oversat og udgivet på engelsk med titlen ”Jenny lives with Eric and Martin” i 1983, hvor den skabte stor debat og hvor den, efter en dramatisk retssag, blev forbudt ved lov at anvende som undervisning til engelske skolebørn.Bogen er illustreret med fotografier taget af Andreas Hansen og en fire siders tegneserie af Paul Arne Kring Sørensen.Forfatteren Susanne Bösche (f. 1953) har skrevet lige siden, hun fandt ud af, at bogstaver kan danne ord, og ord kan danne historier. Parallelt med forfatterskabet har hun arbejdet som dukkefører med dybe rødder i Jytte Abildstrøms Teater, hvor hun i sin tid blev oplært. Hendes forfatterskab handler om at se hinandens forskelligheder som en ressource og ikke lade sig skræmme af det ukendte. Hendes første bogudgivelse ’Nede i Anitas kælder’ udkom i 1977 og er forgængeren til ’Er vi venner eller hvad’. Begge bøger har unge og seksualitet og ikke mindst venskaber som centrale temaer. I 1981 udgav hun billedbogen ”Mette bor hos Morten og Erik”, en dagligdags historie om Mette, der bor hos sin far og hans mandlige samlever. Bogen blev godt modtaget i Danmark, men vakte stor debat, da den 2 år senere udkom i Storbritannien, hvor den forårsagede et forbud mod at oplyse børn i skoler og daginstitutioner om homoseksualitet.
