Messy but Mine - A Roommate Romcom with Zero Boundaries

Liam R. Whitaker

Beschreibung

Eli Parker thought he’d finally scored the perfect apartment quiet, affordable, and far enough from campus to breathe. What he didn’t count on was Jamie Brooks, a theater major who treats every day like improv night. Where Eli needs silence and routine, Jamie thrives on noise and chaos.

From fridge wars to laundry mishaps, their apartment turns into a running joke written in sticky notes, late-night arguments, and sarcastic one-liners. Eli clings to order. Jamie pushes for freedom. Neither gives an inch.

But somewhere in the middle of the mess, things start to change. Under Jamie’s jokes and restless energy, Eli sees a hint of loneliness he can’t ignore. And behind Eli’s strict schedules and sharp remarks, Jamie finds a steady loyalty he’s never known.

The line between annoyance and affection blurs with every fight, every laugh, every compromise. Their apartment may stay cluttered, but what about the feelings building between them?

Can two opposites turn chaos into something worth keeping or will the noise be too much?

I Hope We Choose Love - A Trans...

Kai Cheng Thom

What can we hope for at the end of the world? What can we trust in when community has broken our hearts? What would it mean to pursue justice without violence? How can we love in the absence of faith? 
 
 
 
In a heartbreaking yet hopeful collection of personal essays and prose poems, blending the confessional, political, and literary, Kai Cheng Thom dives deep into the questions that haunt social movements today. With the author's characteristic eloquence and honesty, I Hope We Choose Love proposes heartfelt solutions on the topics of violence, complicity, family, vengeance, and forgiveness. Taking its cues from contemporary thought leaders in the transformative justice movement such as adrienne maree brown and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, this provocative book is a call for nuance in a time of political polarization, for healing in a time of justice, and for love in an apocalypse.
