  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.

  Confessions of a Reluctant Optimist

  Amy Chamberlain has never been one for motivational slogans or rose-tinted glasses. She’s the kind of woman who expects the worst—only to be mildly surprised when life occasionally delivers something better. 
  But somewhere between failed diets, disastrous first dates, and the endless chaos of everyday life, she’s discovered that optimism doesn’t always have to arrive in grand gestures. Sometimes it’s hidden in burnt toast that still tastes fine, in friendships that outlast heartbreak, or in simply making it through the day without crying in the supermarket car park. 
  With humour, honesty, and a touch of hard-won wisdom, Confessions of a Reluctant Optimist is a candid exploration of what it means to search for silver linings when you’re more comfortable expecting thunderstorms. 
  For anyone who has ever rolled their eyes at “positive vibes only” but secretly hoped for a happy ending, this is the book that says: you don’t have to be a natural optimist to find joy—you just have to keep looking.

  ’Jane ’came out’ at fifty-seven and everybody knew it.’So begins this heartwarming tale of a courteous country maid who comes into a vast inheritance, and uses it to travel into high society in London. along the way, she encounters the snobs of the society set, royalty entirely without regality, and a whole host of characters that make clear just how much better off she is away from the glitz and glamour.Written in 1897, this tale from Marie Corelli is a short and adorably sweet take of 'a sweet-faced, placid-faced lady of the purely old-fashioned type,' inherits a fortune at 57 and discovers that the fashionable and high society world is composed of 'the Great of Purse and not the Great of Heart'.Corelli was the the first bestselling novelist in a modern sense, dominating the scene from her debut in 1867 and largely forgotten because she wrote her social commentary, wit and style into romances that were beloved of Queen Victoria and Churchill, among many others.

  When Sadie Harding’s posh wedding to Felix Barrington-Jones is abruptly cancelled, she’s devastated. While tears are to be expected, surely taking to her bed for a prolonged period is a little OTT? But that’s because Sadie has a secret about what really happened prior to everything being called off. And the guilt is unbearable. 
   
  Three years later Sadie has a new guy in her life, but this chap has four legs, not two. William Beagle is a rescue dog that suits her perfectly. He parps like a man, snores like a man, and loves her unconditionally. But what she hadn’t reckoned upon was an unexpected dispute of ownership with the gorgeous but grumpy Jack Farrell. 
   
  Jack has his own problems. Namely blackmail. The last thing Sadie ever anticipated was being unwittingly implicated. When a peaceful walk turns into a police investigation and William Beagle’s mugshot is splashed across the papers, she’s badly triggered. Can Sadie finally confront the demons of the past in order to face the future? 
   
  Sparks are set to fly in this gorgeous romantic comedy about love, trust, and new beginnings.
