Synopsis

In "The Jervaise Comedy," J.D. Beresford masterfully intertwines drama with sharp social commentary, exploring the intricate dynamics of human relationships through the lens of love, loss, and the societal expectations of early 20th-century England. The novel is characterized by its witty dialogue and psychological depth, merging elements of realism with subtle humor, thereby creating a rich tapestry that reflects the complexities of contemporary life. The author's keen observations on class distinctions and personal aspirations resonate throughout, offering a poignant critique of the social mores of the time. J.D. Beresford, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature, often drew from his personal experiences and insights into the shifting social landscape of England. His background as a playwright and novelist, combined with a keen interest in the nuances of human behavior, shaped his writing style. Beresford's works often reflect his belief in the interplay between individual desires and societal expectations, making "The Jervaise Comedy" a fitting exploration of these themes. I highly recommend "The Jervaise Comedy" to readers who appreciate a blend of humor and critical social analysis. This novel engages both the intellect and emotions, inviting readers to reflect on the human condition while being entertained by its captivating narrative and relatable characters.

    The Emmy-nominated host of Netflix’s Queer Eye follows up his New York Times-bestselling memoir, Over The Top, with this collection of thought-provoking essays on grief and healing, cannabis reform, LGBTQIA+ rights, imposter syndrome, personal style, the HIV safety net, and of, course, how to make your hairdresser love you. 
    In his New York Times-bestselling memoir Over the Top, Jonathan van Ness showed readers how the incredibly difficult moments from his life (surviving sexual abuse and addiction, being diagnosed with HIV) have existed alongside great joy and positivity (landing a breakout role on Netflix’s Queer Eye, becoming an amateur figure skater and professional standup comedian, doting on his five cats). 
    If Jonathan learned anything from the painful life experiences, it’s that in order to thrive, he needed to push past the shame and fear of being his true self, which meant getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. In this candid and curious essay collection, he takes a thoughtful, in-depth look at today’s hot-button issues, viewed through the lens of his personal experience. From the evolution of his signature style to an investigative report on the queer history of his hometown, Jonathan reflects on his life and how he has learned to embrace change—doing the work to challenge internalized beliefs, finding compassion and confidence, and learning more about what makes us all so messy and gorgeous. 
    Balancing the dark and the light, the serious and the madcap, these essays allow us to examine our individual assumptions, expand our horizons, and give ourselves permission to be the flawed and fabulous humans we are.

    Cute, little college freshman Stacey Moreau sure picked the wrong class in which to grow lax in her studies. Her anatomy professor Bruce Dickerson has grown so incensed with her poor grades that he has no choice but to teach her a lesson.
     
    Not that the other students are doing much better. So, using his creative and dirty mind, he conjures up a plan that will hopefully set Stacey on the right track and teach her classmates to heighten their interest in human anatomy.
     
    And, that will require Stacey to, ahem, get completely undressed…for starters.
     
    Meanwhile, Shane Gray, the young man sitting behind her, is growing very interested in human anatomy—namely Stacey’s. So, when members of the class are invited to the front of the classroom to explore Stacey’s shivering, naked, and well-positioned body more closely, he takes full advantage of the situation—and her.
     
    Ah, it’s all so gratifying—and arousing. But if Shane thinks that feeling Stacey up every which way is to be the extent of his arousal, he’s got another thing coming! Professor Dickerson, it would appear, would also like to use Stacey, and a partner, to demonstrate the act of sexual intercourse to the class. And if she finds this all too unnerving and humiliating, oh well!
     
    Now then…any volunteers?
     
    Fans of ENF erotica featuring a shy, shivering, and profoundly humiliated college sweetie called upon to display every one of her female charms to her entire class—this one is for you! Get your copy today and discover one of the more creative ways to inspire interest in an otherwise dreary subject!
     
    Innocence and embarrassment to the hilt!

With his grandmother contesting custody, I need to prove that I'm a steadfast influence who's not going anywhere and there's one sure-fire way to show that: get engaged. 
     
    With my not-so-secret crush Georgie on board to play the part, we tell ourselves it's a practical solution. But when I see her connection with Duncan, I see a different side of her that I didn't know existed and I only want more. Could this fake engagement be the real deal?
