Plus One (2023)
Kelsey Rodkey
"A breezy, summertime romp that will have you laughing (and swooning!) from the first page, Plus One is an ode to messy girls who are deserving of love exactly as they are. Kelsey Rodkey is forever an auto-buy author of mine!"
Something Like Possible (2023)
Miel Moreland
"Miel Moreland writes the stories I wish I had as a teenager-inclusive, empowering, and unapologetically queer. Madison's journey is one that is crafted with such sensitivity and tenderness, showcasing the realities of being a queer teen without sacrificing queer joy. For every ambitious girl who has been told that they are 'too much,' Something Like Possible is a validating promise that you are enough."

Gloria Chao
"A luminous love letter to the power of community and the magic in everyday moments, featuring a childhood friends-to-lovers romance that is impossible to not root for. With writing that shines with humor and warmth on every page, Gloria Chao's words are a pure joy to escape into."
