From the author of Aces Wild: A Heist comes a hilarious and compassionate romantic comedy for fans of Casey McQuiston and Netflix’s Love is Blind!“My mouth still hurts from all the smiling.” —Sonora Reyes, National Book Award FinalistNow that Wren Martin is student council president (on a technicality, but hey, it counts) he’s going to fix Rapture High. His first order of business: abolish the school’s annual Valentine’s Day dance, a drain on the school’s resources and general social nightmare—especially when you’re asexual. His greatest opponent: Leo Reyes, vice president and all-around annoyingly perfect student. Leo has a solution to Wren’s budget problem—a sponsorship from Buddy, the anonymous “not a dating” app sweeping the nation. Now instead of a danceless senior year, Wren is in charge of the biggest dance Rapture High has ever seen. He’s even secretly signed up for the app. For research, of course. But when Wren develops capital F-Feelings for his anonymous match, things spiral out of control. Wren decided a long time ago that dating while asexual wasn’t worth the hassle. With the big night rapidly approaching, he isn’t sure what will kill him first: the dance, his relationship drama, or the growing realization that Leo’s perfect life might not be so perfect after all. In an unforgettably quippy and endearingly chaotic voice, narrator Wren Martin explores the complexities of falling in love while asexual.Named to the ALA Rainbow List - Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

A captivating and profoundly moving novel with hints of supernatural intrigue, blending We Were Liars and Your Name into a can’t-miss read for fans of You’ve Reached Sam.Thirty years ago, Grace’s mom left her hometown of Hermitage, Florida and never looked back—which is exactly why Grace thinks it’s the safest place to spend her summer now. Since her mom died in a car crash, Grace has been desperate to get away from the memories and reminders of her loss. Spending the summer transcribing cassette tapes for the Hermitage Historical Society might be boring, but boring is just what Grace needs.Until she hears the voice of Jake Underwood—the boy who first recorded the cassette tapes back in 1992. When Grace realizes he can hear anything she records, despite thirty years of time between them, they strike up an impossible conversation through the tapes.But the past isn’t any simpler than the present, and a mystery has haunted Hermitage through the generations. In the 1970’s, a hurricane made landfall and resulted in the tragic death of Jake’s uncle Charley. In a town as suffocatingly small as Hermitage, it’s impossible not to notice how no one talks about that storm, or Charley, and as the mystery unfurls, Grace can’t help but realize a worse truth: No one talks about Jake either. A beautifully written exploration of grief and what happens when untreated wounds bleed into future generations, The Underwood Tapes is the perfect read for anyone in need of a good, cathartic cry. - Häftad, Engelska, 2023

Lucifer meets Succession in a rich blending of dark comedy and supernatural elements, from the acclaimed author of Aces Wild and Wren Martin Ruins It All.Faith is no longer built in the church or in the temple or at the sacrificial altar. It's built on the six o'clock news.The Devil went down to Georgia—and started a media conglomerate. Ada Faust's dad isn't just kind of an asshole, he's the Devil himself, and he's been bringing about the end of days for millennia. But even the Devil must adapt to thrive, and nothing will look better for the bottom line than if oil-executive-turned-politician Nelson Campbell wins the US Presidency. In fact, the world will get so apocalyptically bad that the Devil can retire and appoint one of his heirs to take over as Antichrist. Ada doesn't want the end of days, but there can only be one Antichrist, and she wants one of her half-siblings to have the job even less. While they clamor to insert themselves in Campbell's presidential campaign, Ada gets an internship with Senator Perry Harlow, his competition, to sabotage him from within. It's genius. Foolproof, even. Except for Hasan Attar—goody-goody half-angel, perpetual thorn in Ada's side, and also one of Harlow's interns. Hasan knows that Ada is up to something, so Ada does what the devil's daughter does best: She lies and convinces him they're on the same side. But the more Ada works with Hasan, and the closer they get, the more she realizes it feels good to do the right thing, even for the wrong reasons. With the campaigns heating up, Ada has to make a decision: You can be a good daughter or a good person, but with a dad like hers, you can't be both.
