Interesting Facts about Space (2024)
Emily Austin
"Emily Austin has done it again! I love how her quirky dark humor reveals both the absurdity and relatability of the human condition. Enid is undoubtedly a charmingly eccentric Emily Austin protagonist: her greatest fear is bald men, her love language is sharing interesting facts about space, her coping mechanism is listening to true crime podcasts, and her secret is that she thinks she has a parasite that makes her a bad person. Fellow parasite-host readers will be both entertained and consoled by where the story goes."
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."
First Time for Everything (2022)
Henry Fry
"A hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-queer novel about Danny Scudd, an anxiety-riddled gay man in his late twenties who's trying to learn how to shed the mask he donned for straight society . . . Reading this book felt like hanging out with one of my queer besties. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's ever felt like they didn't belong."
