The Pisces

Melissa Broder

An original, imaginative, and hilarious debut novel about love, anxiety, and sea creatures, from the author of So Sad Today. Lucy has been writing her dissertation about Sappho for thirteen years when she and Jamie break up. After she hits rock bottom in Phoenix, her Los Angeles-based sister insists Lucy housesit for the summer—her only tasks caring for a beloved diabetic dog and trying to learn to care for herself. Annika’s home is a gorgeous glass cube atop Venice Beach, but Lucy can find no peace from her misery and anxiety—not in her love addiction group therapy meetings, not in frequent Tinder meetups, not in Dominic the foxhound’s easy affection, not in ruminating on the ancient Greeks. Yet everything changes when Lucy becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer one night while sitting alone on the beach rocks. Whip-smart, neurotically funny, sexy, and above all, fearless, The Pisces is built on a premise both sirenic and incredibly real—what happens when you think love will save you but are afraid it might also kill you.

invitation for buddy read / readalong! calling all ♓️!!!

hiiiiii everyone! i decided that this year to read more from this quest and to honor my pisces friends, i will be reading the pisces by melissa broder during pisces season. ♓️🎏 🐟🐟 i thought i would throw the idea in here in case anyone wants to read along around the same time - maybe a kind of loose readalong structure? 🐠🐠 this year, 2026, ♓️ season runs from feb 18 - mar 20, which is hopefully enough time for anyone interested to grab a copy via library or purchase. this was a 2018 release so i am optimistic that there won’t be a long line of holds waiting on it! 🐡🐡 hope to see you in the forums!

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

I really wanted to love this. I got to the point near the end of the book where I knew I should be absolutely heartbroken and wrung out emotionally, but I couldn't feel anything because the prose made me work too hard to get there. This is probably a me thing, but the prose was so flowery and convoluted that I spent all my time trying to figure out what was being said and I didn't have any space left to actually feel the emotional impact of the words themselves.

I don't know. The ending was great, but I'm so frustrated by the fact that I felt nothing. In any other situation, I would have been bawling, distraught and jumping for joy. Instead, I'm disappointed.

I've seen a few posts where the audience is assumed to be American and it made me curious about how many users are actually American? Objectively speaking it makes sense that the majority is but I wish there was a statistic for it (just out of curiosity).

Give Me More (Salacious Players Club, #3)

Sara Cate

I’m a scoundrel Playboy. Man whore. Basically, I get around, and I’m not afraid to admit it. So when my best friend opens up Salacious Players’ Club and asks me to head the construction, how could I say no? Now we’re on a cross-country road trip touring other kink clubs, and I couldn’t be happier. Life is good. Then Hunter suddenly asks me to sleep with his wife…while he watches. I’ll do anything for my best friend, but this is the one request I should say no to. Isabel is the woman of my dreams, but she’s his. And the exact reason I should say no is the one reason I say yes. Because it’s not only Isabel I want. These are the two most important people in my life, and if we go down this path, how will I ever be able to walk away? I’m not sure my best friend understands just how much I’m willing to do for him—and why.

Looking for my romance girlies!!!

I want to find people who are obsessed with reading contemporary romance, be it mainstream and tiktok hyped or more niche and underrated. If you're here, please say hi!

I think PB has a lot of fantasy and lit fic readers (which is amazing coz I'm trying to branch out into those genres, love you guys!), and I still want to befriend folks that adore the same genre(s) that I do. I also love women's fiction, chick lit, and the occasional not too intense
