Girl on Girl
Cosmetic surgeries are at an all-time high, Ozempic is bringing back 'heroin chic' and the manosphere on the rise - after four waves of feminism, what went wrong?
Despite decades of progress, modern womanhood feels more challenging than ever. Atlantic critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert reveals how today's misogyny emerged from another turbulent era: the late 90s and early 2000s.
Spanning the past thirty years of pop culture - from Madonna to Taylor Swift, #GirlBoss to OnlyFans, Real Housewives to trad-wives - Girl on Girl shows how every form of media, heavily influenced by the rise of porn, has warped women's relationships with themselves and others.
We cannot move forward without fully reckoning with the ways pop culture has defined us - this book shows us how.
Blush
Makeup is empowering. It’s a means of experimentation, reinvention, provocation, disguise, and protection. It can be ‘barely there’ or transform someone’s appearance entirely. And in the hands of the finest practitioners, it can traverse into a whole other fantasy land.
Blush is the very first global survey to celebrate the most exciting makeup artists working today. Nominated by a panel of industry experts, including editors, stylists, photographers, and art directors, the 75 featured artists range from famed professionals, such as Lisa Eldridge, Pati Dubroff, Sandhya Shekar, Sir John, and Charlotte Tilbury, to emerging talent, such as Bernicia Boateng, Sean Brady, Raisa Flowers, Valentina Li, and Oh Seong Seok. Each artist is profiled with a full-page spread featuring multiple images – red carpet looks, brand campaigns, beauty editorials, and more – along with an insightful short text, presented together in a vibrant, fresh-feeling layout.
Every turn of the page yields new inspiration: readers will discover a dizzyingly diverse array of styles, revealing how today’s talent utilizes tone, texture, and technique to craft distinctive looks. Many of the featured artists subvert traditional notions of beauty, using faces as their canvas for experimentation.
Beautifully designed and brilliantly curated, Blush showcases the work of a phenomenally creative field like never before.
The Ending Writes Itself
Six authors. One private island. Seventy-two hours to write the ending.
World-famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending won't write itself.
When six struggling authors are invited to Fletch's private Scottish island and presented with the opportunity of a lifetime, the plot thickens: whoever writes a worthy ending will receive a game-changing book deal and two million dollars.
Why have they been chosen to attend? Who is behind the invitation? And just how far would they go to secure a place on the bestseller list?
They have just seventy-two hours, a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write…
Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder.

The Body Builders
Ada lives a solitary life. She spends her days swimming in her apartment building''s pool, occasionally visiting her cousin Francesca, meeting people for drinks, navigating the social mores of a cold and isolating London. Ada''s parents are recently divorced: her father spends his days at the gym, warm with human proximity. Her mother spends her days alone.When she meets a man named Atticus by the pool, Ada immediately senses an intimate connection between them: as if they share a life, in a way she can''t explain, maybe even a consciousness. Little by little, Ada''s estrangement from her familiar surroundings, memories and reality widens, as though she is seeing her reflection through a mirror, pieces of it falling away. She worries she may be losing her mind.After her mother entreats Ada to join her on a remote Greek holiday, Ada''s connection to her world and her body itself, falls away completely. She is jolted into a new, artificial environment - The Facility: a place apparently designed to meet her every wish, but where secrets hide along endless hallways and behind closed doors. When a person''s life, in the odd space between mind and body, is inherently one of isolation, are our connections with those around us merely projections of ourselves? And if not, where do they come from?With precision, subtlety, and confidence Albertine Clarke transforms touches of the sci-fi into an entirely singular experience of deep interiority. The Body Builders lands like a blow, widening a crack that allows us to perceive the world differently than we ever imagined.
Hogyan fejezzünk be egy szerelmi történetet
Helen Zhang azóta nem találkozott Grant Sheparddel, hogy tizenhárom évvel korábban egy tragikus baleset örökre összekötötte az életüket. Teljesül egy álma, amikor bekerül népszerű ifjúságiregény-sorozata tévés adaptációjának írói közé.
Grant mindent megtett annak érdekében, hogy túllépjen a múltján. Tudja, hogy nem kellett volna elvállalnia a munkát Helen műsorában, csakhogy ez a lehetőség olyan ajtókat nyithat meg előtte, amiknek segítségével a saját projektjeit is kibontakoztathatja.
Grant pontosan olyan, amilyennek Helen emlékszik rá: vicces, népszerű és szerethető. Helen is olyan, amilyennek Grant mindig is látta: zseniális, gyönyörű és zárkózott. Csakhogy a közös munka kaotikus és felvillanyozó, ráadásul Helen szülei azt sem tudják, hogy a férfi visszatért a lányuk életébe.
Amikor titkokra derül fény, a párosnak el kell fogadnia, hogy a kapcsolatukból nem születhet szerelmi történet. De mégis… talán pont abban rejlik a kulcs, hogy megbékéljenek a múltjukkal, ha összekapaszkodnak a jelenben.

Infinite Shores
Fate cannot be broken - not even by the gods who serve it.
Emory refuses to lose Romie again. Her friend's fate hangs in the balance as the monstrous Clover plans to use her as a sacrifice to steal power from the deity Atheia - and make himself into a proper god. To stop Clover, Emory needs the help of Atheia's dark counterpart, Sidraeus. Yet this enigmatic deity cannot be trusted, and if Emory is to ally with him, she must invoke an ancient magic to keep him tethered to her side.
Meanwhile, in the divine workshop of the god of balance, Baz learns he has a role to play in the coming fight to save the crumbling worlds and their weakening magics. Yet all he can think of is Kai and the gruesome fate that awaits him at Clover's side - a fate, the god tells him, that is beyond even his reach. But Baz is determined to save Kai, even if he has to rewrite time itself.
As chaos reigns and the tides of a corrupted magic threaten to consume all, Emory and Baz must contend with mercurial gods, vengeful deities, and those hell - bent on eradicating Eclipse magic to save the people they love - and write an ending to their stories that defies fate itself.
