Shapes of Love (2026)
L V Peñalba
"Shapes of Love is a wonderfully heartfelt, powerful story of the many ways love can be expressed, and the depth true friendship can go. With a cast of engaging, layered characters you can't help but fall in love with, L.V. Penalba's must-read debut about fame, growing into who you're meant to be, and the messiness of finding your people flips the script on what a love story can be in all the best ways. Filled with a whole lot of fun and heart, this is a book you will absolutely stay up way too late to read!"
