  “Nothing I’ve read has cut to the heart of the ’00s like Y2K.” — Bustle 
  Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K is a delightfully nostalgic and bitingly told exploration about how the early 2000s forever changed us and the world we live in. 
  THE EARLY 2000s conjures images of inflatable furniture, flip phones, and low-rise jeans. It was a new millennium and the future looked bright, promising prosperity for all. The internet had arrived, and technology was shiny and fun. For many, it felt like the end of history: no more wars, racism, or sexism. But then history kept happening. Twenty-five years after the ball dropped on December 31st, 1999, we are still living in the shadows of the Y2K Era. 
  In Y2K, one of our most brilliant young critics Colette Shade offers a darkly funny meditation on everything from the pop culture to the political economy of the period. By close reading Y2K artifacts like the Hummer H2, Smash Mouth’s “All Star,” body glitter, AOL chatrooms, Total Request Live, and early internet porn, Shade produces an affectionate yet searing critique of a decade that started with a boom and ended with a crash. 
  In one essay Colette unpacks how hearing Ludacris’s hit song “What’s Your Fantasy” shaped a generation’s sexual awakening; in another she interrogates how her eating disorder developed as rail-thin models from the collapsed USSR flooded the pages of Vogue; in another she reveals how the McMansion became an ominous symbol of the housing collapse. 
  Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K is the first book to fully reckon with the mixed legacy of the Y2K Era—a perfectly timed collection that holds a startling mirror to our past, present, and future.

  A heart-warming and hilarious novel about life, love, and the weight of all we leave unsaid, Duffy & Son is a quietly moving masterpiece from one of Ireland’s most gifted comic writers. 
  Eugene Duffy is turning 70; his son Jim is turning 40. 
    
  For decades now, they’ve been running the family hardware shop and living in good-natured bachelor harmony. But time is marching on, and with thoughts of old age weighing heavily on his mind, Eugene is growing increasingly concerned about his son’s future. 
    
  He resolves to help in the best way possible: by finding Jim a wife. And he’s not going to let anyone – let alone Jim himself – stand in his way. 
    
  Reminiscent of Fredrik Backman’s bestselling novel A Man Called Ove, Duffy and Son contains a likeable but curmudgeonly main character, wry humour, tremendous heart, as well as a strong sense of community. It is a funny and heartwarming novel which celebrates the messiness of ordinary lives and would make a perfect reading group choice. 
  Damien Owens Duffy & Son, a top, award-winning fiction, is a delightful comedy set in a small, rural town. The humorous and romantic narrative, long-listed for its excellence, explores the intricacies of friendship and the quest for love. 
  For fans of Kristin Hannah (The Great Alone), Michelle Mcdonagh (There's Something I Have to Tell You), Graham Norton (Home Stretch), Liz Nugent (Unravelling Oliver), and Sally Rooney (Beautiful World, Where Are You).

  My perfect summer just got ruined by a brunette in a tool belt. 
   
   
   
  This was my summer to get away from it all. Live like a hermit. Fix up my family's vacation home. Until Ella arrived. 
   
   
   
  My infuriating neighbor has returned for beach season. Ever since our families bought summer homes next to each other, that was the beginning of our neighbor war. Now I have to see her every. single. day. 
   
   
   
  When I let it slip that I'm making a few home improvements, she jumps at the chance to help. She's an interior designer who needs work. I'm a man who loathes shopping. Any mention of the words color palette makes me want to break out in hives. 
   
   
   
  We're the dynamic duo for this fixer upper. There's only one problem: the more time we spend together, the more attracted I am to her. Now our on-the-job flirting is veering into dangerous territory. 
   
   
   
  Because if there's one thing I know, Ella and I are not meant to be together. I'm emotionally unavailable. She's sworn off relationships. And our families hate each other. 
   
   
   
  I know my future is at stake. But I can't seem to tear myself away from this project . . . or her. So I tell myself: I most definitely will not fall for my neighbor.
