What if there was a university that was all about monsterloving? Would you sign up? I came to the Pickering Institute for Cross-Kind Understanding to find my fate… The campus is full of towering stone halls, curious academic traditions, and eligible monsters who look at me differently than anyone ever has. But I only have eyes for the quiet lizardman botanist who rescued me from a rainstorm at my lowest. Too bad staff-student relationships are forbidden. Wanting him feels like setting myself up for yet another heartbreak. But the more I learn at PICKU, the more I realize that some kinds of love are worth breaking all the rules for. Monster Mating 101 is a cozy, swoony monster romcom with academic vibes, a sweetheart lizardman hero, and a heroine learning she’s worthy of love exactly as she is.
