Loveless meets You’ve Got Mail in a charming YA romance centering two aspec (asexual and aromantic) teens at the heart of their own kind of love story. Analeigh Tate has a plan: convince her parents that a musical theater degree is a serious career path and not a childish fantasy. Unfortunately, this means begging her perfect older sister Natasha for help, which, as expected, comes with strings: Analeigh has to prove she can get and keep a boyfriend for the next four months. She’s never cared about dating, partly because she fears no one will be interested in an asexual girl, but how hard could it be? She’s already guaranteed valedictorian since her academic nemesis Drew Eberstark left school the year before, so a boyfriend should be easy. Drew is not keen on returning to school after his very public breakdown last year. But his grand comeback becomes ten times worse when he learns that his anonymous online best friend—who he just asked to meet in person—is none other than Analeigh Tate, a girl who hates his guts. Desperate not to lose his only friend, with whom he’s shared his uncertainty about identifying as asexual and aromantic, he comes up with a solution: offer to be her (fake) boyfriend. He already knows about Analeigh’s deal with her sister, so all he’s got to do is prove he’s worth her friendship—while keeping his true identity under wraps. So that’s not stressful or anything. While Analeigh struggles with the fact that her once-mortal enemy is kind of amazing, the weight of family expectations, and the difficult feelings about her asexuality, Drew struggles with his growing web of lies and the grief he won’t talk about. When the truth finally comes to light, Analeigh and Drew will have to decide if their friendship is worth fighting for, and if there’s a happily ever after to their (not so typical) love story.

A forthright, honest and rousingly triumphant memoir from a woman who has to live with a highly visible different appearance due to a rare skin condition. Say hello to Carly. 'In fairytales, the characters who look different are often cast as the villain or monsters. It's only when they shed their unconventional skin that they are seen as "good" or less frightening. There are very few stories where the character that looks different is the hero of the story ... I've been the hero of my story - telling it on my own terms, proud about my facial difference and disability, not wanting a cure for my rare, severe and sometimes confronting skin condition, and knowing that I am beautiful even though I don't have beauty privilege.' This honest, outspoken and thought-provoking memoir by award-winning writer and appearance activist Carly Findlay will challenge all your assumptions and beliefs about what it is like to have a visibly different appearance. Carly lives with a rare skin condition, Ichthyosis, and what she faces every day, and what she has to live with, will have you cheering for her and her courage and irrepressible spirit. This is both a moving memoir and a proud manifesto on disability and appearance diversity issues. 'Believe the hype - by turns frank, funny, and fearsome, Findlay's extraordinary memoir is an early contender for 2019's best Australian non-fiction ... a powerful and moving invitation to examine the structures of privilege and dehumanisation that we so desperately need address in this country.'

A sex columnist and a news reporter realize a fake relationship can help them both professionally and personally—but they aren’t prepared for the real feelings that start to develop beyond the headlines—from the bestselling author of It’s Different This Time. Lucy Reid is a sex columnist whose views on relationships aren’t exactly optimistic. She empowers readers to embrace their sexuality and challenge the idea that you need a partner to be happy—until her editor points out their audience is mostly coupled up . . . and maybe it’s time for something (or someone) new. To buy herself time, Lucy impulsively claims she’s started a new relationship she can write about. Enter Marshall Oakley. Marshall is the new senior news writer at Lucy’s company. When they meet at a work event, he reveals his ex of nine years is getting married, and he needs a plus-one to keep his family off his back. They agree to fake date until the wedding—Lucy can write about finding “the one” before proving relationships don’t solve everything when they “break up”, and Marshall gets a no-strings date to convince his friends, family, and ex he’s moved on. But as they spend more time together, the lines blur and each begins to reevaluate their views on love. As fear gives way to misunderstandings, can they find the courage to rewrite their story with a happily ever after?
