Is This a Cry for Help? (2026)
Emily Austin
"Inject every Emily Austin novel straight into my veins...[Is This a Cry for Help?] stole my heart."

Rules for Ghosting (2024)
Shelly Jay Shore
"Rules for Ghosting has everything: a family funeral home and a main character who can see ghosts, an adorable pit bull named Sappho, a mother coming out at seder dinner, a trans love story, a fiery climax that brings everything to a head, humor, heart, and so much more. It's about finding your place in the world, in your family, in partnership and, finally, within yourself. It was a joy to read, and I can't wait to see what's next from Shelly Jay Shore."

For Her Consideration (2023)
(Out in Hollywood, book 1)
Amy Spalding
"For Her Consideration is incredibly funny, queer, sweet, and sexy. Anyone with a toxic ex or a serious celebrity crush will be able to relate! It's about learning to trust yourself and the people in your life, and it's guaranteed to leave you smiling and wanting to hug your chosen family very hard."
