Juniper and Jules by Steph Martin
‘You’re not better than me because you’re gay-er.’ Juniper has liked girls, (only girls), for as long as she can remember. Jules didn’t realise she could like girls because no-one ever told her it was an option. Jules isn’t naturally monogamous, she doesn’t think. She’s always liked to be different. She wants to make new rules.
Juniper is more interested in peace and quiet and happiness (and making sure the washing-up gets done by bedtime). Juniper and Jules centres on scarcely seen themes; queer identities and non-monogamy in a complex but positive light.
KAREN by Sarah Cameron-West
KAREN invites you into the uproarious world of our Protagonist, who shatters the fourth wall to unravel her chaos-filled narrative of betrayal, repressed rage, and self-discovery. On her 30th birthday at Alton Towers, mid-calippo, she’s brutally dumped by her long-term boyfriend Joe—who, to make matters worse, has been having an affair with her office arch-nemesis: Karen. What follows is a rollercoaster of heartbreak, humiliation and identity crisis, escalating to the ultimate office showdown. Hailed as “Fleabag meets Peep Show” and “a modern-day Bridget Jones,” Sarah Cameron-West has been declared “a burgeoning comedy genius” in her electrifying theatrical triumph.
ROTUS: Receptionist of the United States by Leigh Douglas
Scream if you love freedom! Meet Chastity Quirke: White House receptionist, ex-Chapter President of Kappa Gamma Zeta, and zealous Republican. Every single day she is proud to Make America Hot Again. But when this all-American girl next door is forced to choose between the power of female friendship and proving herself the ultimate guys’ girl, she’s horrified to discover she might actually be a feminist.
Too Many Books by Judi Bevan
Too Many Books is fiction but is informed by the author’s experiences and those of many others. When they were viewed as too old to adopt a young child from the UK they began their journey to adopt a child from China, at the time in the grip of a one child policy. Many baby girls had been abandoned by families who wanted boys. But in Britain, married couples and some single adopters faced a lot of prejudice from social workers who saw them as too middle class, too well educated and too successful in their careers to be good adoptive parents.
