Alexandra is falling apart. She's just lost her job, her husband barely acknowledges her existence and her daughter hates her. The only place she truly feels seen, is online. She loves nothing more than the rush of emotion when she sees a blinking notification, a heart on one of her posts. Here, in this filtered reality, this community of women means she doesn't feel quite so alone, after all. Until, one day, everything changes. And she'll do everything in her power to put it right... ***Readers can't wait for INFLUENCED... 'Blown away by the first novel and hoping and praying for much more where this came from!

Killer Potential


'Compelling, creepy and cool . . . a Thelma & Louise for our times'PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Girl on the Train'Fierce, fun, wild and enraging'CHRIS WHITAKER, author of All The Colours of the Dark'Razor-sharp writing, frenzied pace, twists and turns - prepare for impact!'BONNIE GARMUS, author of Lessons In Chemistry'Pump this into my veins. A modern day Thelma & Louise for lesbians who make Das Kapital jokes'MADELEINE GRAY, author of Green DotDecisions were made: I made them. Violence was done: I did it. Crime scenes were fled: I fled them. People were hurt: I hurt them. Someone was loved: I loved them. Not everything I did was bad. Just most of it. A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone. But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as a private tutor to the children of Los Angeles's super-rich. Everything changes when Evie arrives at the Victor family's lavish mansion for her weekly lesson to discover, not the bored teenager she excepted, but pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr and Mrs Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from within the walls of the house. Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives. Suddenly at the heart of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie finds that her mysterious companion, who refuses to speak, has quickly become the most important person in her upside-down life. Meanwhile, the press runs wild with Evie's story - anointing her the new Charles Manson, a blood thirsty ninety-nine percenter looking to start a class war. Evie is - finally and disastrously - someone. Droll, dark and deeply insightful, Killer Potential is an edge-of-your-seat break-neck ride, a queer love story, and a darkly funny critique of the horrors of late capitalism and how the stories we're sold about our potential can shape the course of our lives.

Cynics


'A love that cannot be throttled by the rubber tube of an enema bulb is immortal.'Bookish and idealistic Vladimir is tormented with love for Olga; he brings her flowers when other men bring her flour and millet. Olga eventually agrees to marry him, as her building’s central heating will be out of service all winter and at least with two in the bed they’ll be warmer. When she decides she’d like to serve the revolution, he introduces her to his brother Sergei, a Bolshevik who manages the waterways.Thus begins an excruciating love triangle, measured in ration coupons and black market goods. Described by the poet Joseph Brodsky as 'one of the most innovative novels in Russian literature', Marienhof’s Cynics is a pitch-black comedy set during the wild and savage years of War Communism and the New Economic Policy. Cinematic in its style and collagist in its aesthetic, it establishes Marienhof as a true formal radical.It is a bawdy, savage, lavishly emotional portrayal of working for the revolution (and trying to ignore it).

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand - Hogyan randizzunk az egyéjszakás kalandunkkal? - Hogyan randizzunk? 3.


Az egyéjszakás kalandok első és legfontosabb szabálya: ne szeress bele a nőbe! Egy hosszúra nyúló magánéleti válságot követően végre megismerkedtem valakivel, akitől szikra gyúlt a bensőmben. Jobban mondva, a szikrák akkor pattantak ki, amikor összetűzésbe keveredtünk. Majd később - még aznap éjszaka - lángra lobbantak. Egyetlen nő sem volt még rám olyan hatással, mint Devyn. Mondanom sem kell, mennyire lelombozott, amikor egy csodás, együtt töltött éjszaka után egyszerűen faképnél hagyott. Képtelen voltam elfelejteni, de ő még a számát sem adta meg. Azt hittem, sosem találkozunk újra. Ezért képzelhetitek, mennyire megdöbbentem, amikor az egyik szomszédom ajtaján kopogtatva nem más nyitott ajtót, mint ő. Korábban azt hittem, hogy Devynt egyszerűen nem érdeklem. De szerinted mit érzett, amikor megtudta, hogy én vagyok a főbérlője, és éppen ki akarom lakoltatni...?
