Years after fleeing San Francisco and getting sober, Jhanvi has made a life for herself working at a grocery co-op and saving for her surgeries. But when her friend (and sometimes more) Henry mentions that he and his techie festival-goer friends spent $100,000 to transform a warehouse basement into a sex dungeon, Jhanvi starts wondering if there's a way to exploit these gullible idiots. She returns to San Francisco, hatching a plan to marry Henry for his company's generous healthcare benefits. Jhanvi enters a world of beautiful, decadent fire eaters and their lavish sex parties. But as her pretensions to cynicism and control start to fade, she develops a Gatsbyesque attraction to these happy young people and their bold claims of unconditional love. But do any of her privileged new friends really like or accept her? Her financial needs expose the limits of a community built on limitless self-expression, and soon she has to choose between doing what's right, and doing what's right for her. This darkly funny novel skewers privileged leftist millennial tech culture, and asks whether "found family" is just another of the twenty-first-century's broken promises.Zum Buch

Phenomenal Cosmic Power... Itty Bitty Moral Compass. With paranormal activity at an all-time high, Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith decide to stop working for others and form their own paranormal detective agency. They're not the only ones. The market is saturated, and they struggle to find even a single client. That changes following a chance encounter with a genie that doesn't grant wishes so much as do whatever the hell it wants. The detectives' reality is completely upended—for better and worse. Better for them. Worse for the world. Brooks and Smith have to set things right, but their attempts at doing so are complicated by a genie-thieving venture capitalist, self-sabotage, and a newer, stupider detective in town. Some wishes really can’t come true. About the Series From the mind of award-winning author* Martina Fetzer, the Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. A Genie Ruins Everything is Book #3. *1996, 1997, 1998 Oakview Elementary Perfect Attendance Award About the Audiobook Narrated by James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros., Difficult People), A Genie Ruins Everything is guaranteed to induce laughter. Real laughter. Not just a slight exhale. It is not recommended that you listen while chopping down a tree, conducting a train carrying radioactive waste, or anything else requiring intense focus.Zum Buch

A Guide to Making Decisions, Then Changing Your Mind 47 Times 🚨 WARNING: This is NOT a book for decisive people. If you know what you want in life and confidently make choices without having a full-blown existential meltdown, please move along. This book is for overthinkers, procrastinators, and chronically indecisive disasters who would rather launch themselves into the sun than commit to literally anything. If you’ve ever: ✔️ Spent an hour picking a movie, only to give up and rewatch The Office. ✔️ Polled multiple friends about a minor decision, then ignored their advice. ✔️ Stared at a restaurant menu like it was a life-or-death situation. ✔️ Regretted a choice the second you made it. ✔️ Overanalyzed a text message for so long that you never sent it. Congratulations—you have Decision Paralysis, and this book will make you feel seen. Inside, you’ll find absolutely zero useful strategies for overcoming indecision, but you will get: A breakdown of why your brain refuses to let you make choices like a normal person. An in-depth look at why picking a dinner spot with friends always ends in silent rage. A highly scientific decision-making flowchart (spoiler: you still won’t pick anything). A chance to laugh at your own dysfunction instead of actually fixing it. So, should you buy this book? 🤔 Yes. 🤔 No. 🤔 Maybe. 🤔 Let me think about it first. (You’ll probably just add it to your cart and stare at it for six weeks, but hey—at least that’s on brand.)Zum Buch
