Cat Snacks and Comebacks

Mere Rain

Sinossi

Bowie is back in Philadelphia and making a life for himself. New job, comfortable apartment, his family nearby. He's fine without Smith. Just fine. At least, he was fine until he came home from work to find the man who broke his heart waiting in his apartment. Asking for a favor. No apologies for months of silence. Bowie doesn't owe Smith anything. He should protect his own heart. He ought to keep far away from Smith. Never touch him again. Definitely not share a bed and pretend they're in love.
Smith isn't fine. He's not sure he ever has been. Maybe there's something wrong with him, something that makes it impossible for people to care about him. There are only two people he loves enough to go out of his way for, and one of them is about to get married. His sister wants him at her wedding, and she wants to see him happy. Not telling her about his breakup is coming back to bite him in the ass. Pretending he and Bowie are still together is a tiny white lie. Who could it hurt ... other than Smith?

Ps I Loathe You

Isla Olsen

Wes 
The worst thing my sister ever did was agree to marry Devon Montgomery. 
The best thing she ever did was cancel the wedding two weeks out from the big day. 
It’s not that I don’t like Devon. It’s that I hate him. I detest him. I loathe him. 
And, for some reason, the feeling is mutual, although why anyone would hate someone as amazing as me is completely beyond my understanding. 
Devon, on the other hand? He’s an overbearing, uptight, pretentious snob who wouldn’t know a good time if it bit him on the arse. 
I mean, yes, he’s insanely attractive. And, yes, he’s been known to star in some particularly dirty fantasies of mine—ones of the hate-sex variety. 
But that’s all it is. 
Well, that’s all it was supposed to be… 
Until I discover Devon has been having the exact same fantasies about me. Turns out he’s not so averse to fun after all… 
P.S. I Loathe You is a stand-alone enemies to more, sister’s ex, online ‘bromance’, opposites attract romantic comedy with two swoon-worthy leads, quirky side characters, a ton of sexytimes, and a guaranteed HEA.

Gaysians

Mike Curato

From the acclaimed author of the young adult graphic novel Flamer comes a heartwarming story following four gay Asians navigating love, identity, and friendship—a celebration of queer chosen family. When AJ moves to Seattle in the early aughts, he’s ready to reinvent himself as a gay Asian man—but his dreams hit reality fast with no friends, no job, and an apartment so far out, “not even lesbians live there.” Then a spilled drink at a bar introduces him to K, a glamorous drag queen; John, a shy gamer; and Steven, a reckless flirt. AJ’s “Boy Luck Club” helps him find love, pride, and belonging—until a brutal attack tests everything they know about friendship and family.   Meticulously observed, Gaysians is a fierce, funny, and tender story of queer resilience and self-discovery. “I’ve been hunting for books like this my whole life; this story broke my heart and healed it.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer
