Ten years of friendship.
On the Same Page
LGBTQIA+ · Romance
Our take
Ten years of friendship. One holiday party mistake. Riley always thought she knew exactly what Gianna Mäkinen meant to her—until now. This slow-burn, friends-to-lovers queer romance is full of wit, longing, and that delicious ache of realizing the person who’s always been there might be everything.

About the book
Riley Beckett met Gianna Mäkinen their first year at Boston University—trilingual, sex-positive, influencer royalty, and the best friend who turned her world upside down. For the last decade, Riley’s life has revolved around Gianna’s: same friend group, same rhythms, same late-night phone calls that mean everything and nothing.
And sure, Gianna doesn’t do romance. Or relationships. That’s never been a problem… until one holiday party mistake leaves Riley reeling, and suddenly, the lines she thought were permanent start to blur.
As Riley tries to navigate the space between comfort and chaos, she must confront the question she’s never dared to ask: What if the love of her life has been right beside her all along?
This is queer, friends-to-lovers angst—with heart, heat, and holiday mayhem.

Lie With Me
LGBTQIA+ · Romance
Our take
In Lie With Me, Philippe Besson revisits a secret teenage love affair in 1980s France that shaped his life and art. Tender, sensual, and quietly devastating, this novel traces memory, class, and first love that never truly fades. A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice, praised by André Aciman and The New Yorker.

About the book
“I remember the movement of his hips pressing against the pinball machine. This one sentence had me in its grip until the end. Two young men find each other, always fearing that life itself might be the villain standing in their way. A stunning and heart-gripping tale.” —André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name
A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice
The critically acclaimed, internationally beloved novel by Philippe Besson—“this year’s Call Me By Your Name” (Vulture) with raves in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal,NPR, Vanity Fair, Vogue, O, The Oprah Magazine, and Out—about an affair between two teenage boys in 1984 France, translated with subtle beauty and haunting lyricism by the iconic and internationally acclaimed actress and writer Molly Ringwald.
In this “sexy, pure, and radiant story” (Out), Philippe chances upon a young man outside a hotel in Bordeaux who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship he’s never forgotten, a hidden affair with a boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Thomas is the son of a farmer; Philippe the son of a school principal. At school, they don’t acknowledge each other. But they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair.
Despite the intensity of their attraction, from the beginning Thomas knows how it will end: “Because you will leave and we will stay,” he says. Philippe becomes a writer and travels the world, though as this “tender, sensuous novel” (The New York Times Book Review) shows, he never lets go of the relationship that shaped him, and every story he’s ever told.
“Beautifully translated by Ringwald” (NPR), this is “Philippe Besson’s book of a lifetime...an elegiac tale of first, hidden love” (The New Yorker).

About the book
Troy died before he had the chance to break my heart. Somehow that made it worse.
Fifteen years as Fairlake's chief of police and I've gotten good at keeping my head down and my personal life nonexistent. Then Ethan Crane shows up at my station with a press pass, a smile that short-circuits my better judgment, and more nerve than anyone I've met in twenty years of police work. He's twenty-something, reckless, and already driving me insane.
He's also exactly what I need. I've got a drug operation running through the woods outside town and no clean way to investigate it without tipping them off. Ethan's spent his career embedding himself in the world's worst situations to drag the truth into the light.
His idea of quietly is a fake relationship.
His car in my driveway. His name tangled up with mine in the town gossip. A cover story that gives him access and gives me a reason to keep him close.
The problem is I'm a bad liar. And somewhere between the banter and the late nights and the way he looks at me like I'm worth figuring out, the fake part stops being accurate.
I buried what I felt for Troy and built a life around the absence of it. Ethan isn't asking me to dig that up.
He's just asking if I'm willing to let something in.

About the book
A Buzzfeed Best Gift Book of the Year
"A dark, atmospheric, and feminist story of three women in New York City's Gilded Age, each determined to thrive in a society hell-bent on keeping them down, and using their coven to do so." —Buzzfeed
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply.
New York in the spring of 1880 is a place alive with wonder and curiosity. In this captivating Gilded Age historical fantasy, residents enthusiastically engage in both scientific experimentation and spiritualist pursuits. Séances are the entertainment of choice in exclusive social circles, and many enterprising women—some possessed of true intuitive powers, and some gifted with the art of performance—find work as mediums.
Enter Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St. Clair. At their humble teashop, Tea and Sympathy, they provide a place for whispered confessions, secret cures, and spiritual assignations for a select coven of ladies, who speak the right words and ask the right questions. But the profile of Tea and Sympathy is about to change with the fortuitous arrival of Beatrice Dunn.
When seventeen-year-old Beatrice leaves the safety of her village to answer an ad that reads "Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply," she has little inclination of what the job will demand of her. Beatrice doesn’t know it yet, but she is no ordinary small-town girl; she has great spiritual gifts—ones that will serve as her greatest asset and also place her in grave danger. Under the tutelage of Adelaide and Eleanor, Beatrice comes to harness many of her powers, but not even they can prepare her for the occult evils lurking in the darkest corners of the city or the courage it will take to face them.

About the book
I lost him once. I won’t lose him again.
When Devin calls, it’s like hearing a ghost. Years ago, we were everything to each other—until addiction and darkness tore him away. Now he’s back, raw and broken, and I’ll do anything to help him heal.

Yet Devin’s past is not done with him. And when danger strikes again, I’ll fight like hell to keep him safe.
Seeking Sanctuary is a gut-wrenching, beautifully told MM romance about second chances, healing, and love that refuses to let go.

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?
