  ‘Will make you smile, make you cry, fill you with joy and warm your heart.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
  ***Shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists’ Association Contemporary Romantic Novel Award!*** 
  When Elodie applies for the job of librarian in peaceful Willow Grove, she’s looking forward to a new start. As the daughter of a media empire, her every move has been watched for years, and she longs to work with the thing she loves most: books. 
  It’s a chance to make a real difference too, because she soon realises that there are other people in Willow Grove who might need a fresh start – like the homeless man everyone walks past without seeing, or the divorcée who can’t seem to escape her former husband’s misdeeds. 
  Together with local journalist Finn, Elodie decides these people have stories that need sharing. What if instead of borrowing books readers could ‘borrow’ a person, and hear the life stories of those they’ve overlooked? 
  But Elodie isn’t quite sharing her whole story either. As the story of the library’s new success grows, will her own secret be revealed?

  In the theater of love, one practice kiss between best friends could steal the show… 
  Three things fuel my life to the brim: my boisterous family, the magic of musicals, and my best friend, Eric Moody—who just happens to be the man I dare not love. 
  Eric is my sunshine, the life of the party, and the one who fills my quiet moments with laughter. He's the perfect guy, suave and flirtatious, always ready with a quick-witted remark. 
  Here’s the twist, though: he’s after a future I can’t provide. So, I’ve locked my feelings away like a secret musical tucked safely in a drawer, afraid to let the world hear my heart's hidden song. 
  But when I’m reluctantly cast in a local musical at the school where we both work—cue the cringe-worthy panic—Eric steps in to help me prepare, turning my rehearsals into something far more exhilarating. And then comes the moment I never saw coming: a casual offer to “practice kiss.” 
  The air crackles with undeniable attraction, and the walls I’ve built in the name of friendship begin to crumble. Can I keep my heart locked away when every moment with him feels like a leap into the unknown? And is it wrong to want the one person I think I can never have? 
  Perfect for fans of: 
  ✔️teacher romance 
  ✔️best friends to lovers 
  ✔️childhood friends 
  ✔️temporary roommates 
  ✔️musical theater references 
  ✔️found family 
  ✔️attractive goofball heroes 
  Belonging With Her Best Friend is Book 4 in the California Dreamin’ sweet romantic comedy series, where a group of roommates and friends find their perfect matches and support one another like crazy. Each story stands alone, but you will get more enjoyment out of them if you read in order. This single-POV novel is filled with all the sizzling romantic tension and swoons possible without on-page intimacy.

  Winston Kang and Jared Cahill seem like the perfect couple. When they check-in for their flight to Cambodia, where they're headed to meet the surrogate carrying their baby girl, even the woman at the airline counter recognizes it: "I'm so happy that marriage is legal for you guys," she says. 
   
   
   
  But while Jared is already planning for their second kid—half white like him, half Korean like Wynn—Wynn isn't ready to give up his dreams of becoming a hip-hop dancer to become "the hostage of a crying, pooping terrorist." So he does what anyone in his position would do: He leaves Jared at the airport. 
   
   
   
  Wynn sets off on a journey around the globe, trying to figure out what it means to put himself first, from auditioning for Misty Espinoza's comeback tour to organizing a Prince-themed flash mob. Oceans away, Jared starts to panic that no one in his life can talk to Meryl about her period or what it's like to grow up Asian American. 
   
   
   
  Told in alternating points of view, Pyun's sardonic and addictive must-listen confronts questions of race, identity, and privilege, and facing the question of whether it's ever too late to finally face yourself and grow up.

  I Think Therefore I’m Wrong -...

  I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong: Descartes and the Birth of Overconfidence is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally honest, and deeply unhinged guide to the man who launched modern philosophy with one anxious thought spiral and never looked back. 
  René Descartes: French, wealthy, suspicious of everything, and armed with just enough Latin to convince the world that his personal identity crisis was actually a groundbreaking intellectual framework. From doubting the entire universe to claiming God exists because the idea of God felt right, Descartes pioneered a system so elegantly flawed it haunted philosophers for centuries—and now you get to enjoy the wreckage. 
  In this book, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, Leibniz’s Monads) takes you on a laugh-out-loud demolition tour of: 
  The Four-Step Method of Doubt, also known as gaslighting the cosmos 
  The Cogito, or how to accidentally make thinking sound smug 
  God as epistemological tech support 
  Mind-body dualism, or “what if you’re just a haunted skeleton?” 
  Descartes’ legacy in science, psychology, AI, and every freshman who says “I'm not my body, bro.” 
  Whether you’re a philosophy student, a recovering Cartesian, or just here to watch the metaphysical world burn, this book explains Descartes’ ideas the way they were always meant to be understood: with sarcasm, side-eye, and a glass of wine. 
  I think, therefore I spiral. Let’s go
