Summary

One of humanity's worst nightmares has happened. The dead rose from their graves. Chaos and death follows but humanity prevails. A new governmental branch, Revenant Reintegration, creates housing and jobs for the undead, to forge a future where both the living and formally deceased can live harmoniously. But things are far from perfect.
Alfie, a law-abiding citizen, lives a monotonous, lonely existence, delivering meals to RR residential blocks, with little memory of his former life. The endless tedium is disrupted when Jake, a handsome revenant, catches his eye and asks Alfie on a date.
Jake invites him to Cadere, a restaurant which caters exclusively to residents. Nervous and very much out of practice, Alfie is charmed by Jake and thrilled by the possibility of finding love ... until their meal is served.
When the opportunity to indulge in his darkest craving is put right in front of him, will Alfie hold back the monster he truly is or give in to satiate his hunger?

    Calvin Maxwell likes older men, and Turner Marsh is definitely the type of man he's very much into.
    Growing up with only his mother by his side, Calvin can't help but be attracted toward men who are much older than him. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was only four years old, choosing to marry someone new, have kids with her, and refuse any contact with him whatsoever. It's not strange he has abandonment issues now as an adult.
    Turner has been single for nearly six years now. He was been dumped by his ex-boyfriend of almost twenty years because the man apparently needed someone fresh, someone more exciting. In other words, anyone but him.
    The first time they meet, Turner is instantly attracted to Calvin and, fortunately, Calvin likes him, too. Then Turner gets the invitation to attend his ex-boyfriend's wedding. He brings Calvin along, but doesn't expect his ex-boyfriend to proposition his new boyfriend.
    Emotions run high, threatening their new relationship. Can it survive?

    *A PureWow Best Beach Read of Summer 2022*A wedding weekend spirals out of control in this bold, electrifying, hilarious novel about the complexities of female friendship Robin and Ellie have been best friends since childhood. When Robin came out, Ellie was there for her. When Ellie's father died, Robin had her back. But when Ellie asks Robin to be her maid of honor, she is reluctant. A queer academic, Robin is dubious of the elaborate wedding rituals now sweeping the nation, which go far beyond champagne toasts and a bouquet toss. But loyalty wins out, and Robin accepts. Yet, as the wedding weekend approaches, a series of ominous occurrences lead Robin to second-guess her decision. It seems that everyone in the bridal party is out to get her. Perhaps even Ellie herself. Manically entertaining, viciously funny and eerily campy, So Happy for You is the ultimate send-up to our collective obsession with the wedding industrial complex and a riveting, unexpectedly poignant depiction of friendship in all its messy glory.
