In this riveting debut novel set in contemporary Seoul, four young women make their way in a world defined by impossibly high standards of beauty, secret room salons catering to wealthy men, strict social hierarchies, and K-pop fan mania.

Kyuri is a heartbreakingly beautiful woman with a hard-won job at a "room salon," an exclusive bar where she entertains businessmen while they drink. Though she prides herself on her cold, clear-eyed approach to life, an impulsive mistake with a client may come to threaten her livelihood.

Her roomate, Miho, is a talented artist who grew up in an orphanage but won a scholarship to study art in New York. Returning to Korea after college, she finds herself in a precarious relationship with the super-wealthy heir to one of Korea's biggest companies.

Down the hall in their apartment building lives Ara, a hair stylist for whom two preoccupations sustain her: obsession with a boy-band pop star, and a best friend who is saving up for the extreme plastic surgery that is commonplace.

And Wonna, one floor below, is a newlywed trying to get pregnant with a child that she and her husband have no idea how they can afford to raise and educate in the cutthroat economy. Ballantine Together, their stories tell a gripping tale that's seemingly unfamiliar, yet unmistakably universal in the way that their tentative friendships may be their saving grace.

THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE by SPENCER WOLFF

Spencer Wolff’s debut novel THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE tells the parallel stories McSweeney’s (WE) of an African refugee and a hapless UN worker in Morocco, spinning a fine web of modern trauma and hope. May 2020

THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE recounts the journey of Arès Sbigzenou, a Congolese refugee left for dead in the wake of ethnic violence. Arès' fate, like the fate Format: manuscript of millions, sends him on a kinetic flight across northern Africa with Europe as his goal. He reaches Rabat, Morocco, where he binds himself to a desperate community of exiles, and meets Simon, a young UN worker, whose journey is altogether different but no less fraught.

While Arès struggles to rebuild his life and come to terms with his past, Simon grapples with the moral compromises inherent in his profession and position. Part sweeping portrait of life in the Maghreb, part epic tale of hope and perseverance, THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE carries the reader from the administrative reckonings of the UN staff to the daily hazards faced by the refugees in the streets and on their risky crossings to Europe. When a storm gathers at the UNHCR, and the ghosts of the Congo’s violence unexpectedly surface in Rabat, the two men find themselves on a collision course, setting the stage for the novel’s unforgettable and genre-busting ending.

Spencer Wolff is a former UN worker in Rabat, Morocco, who has worked directly with refugee populations and has witnessed firsthand the pain and frustration of displaced persons. In Rabat, Spencer spent several months meeting with refugees, interviewing and evaluating their claims for asylum, and then recommending several for resettlement. It was this work that prompted him to write his first novel. A photographer and filmmaker, Spencer is the recipient of an Overseas Press Club Award for his work at The New York Times, and his feature-length documentary STOP premiered at DOC NYC and was awarded a Silver Gavel by the American Bar Association. He holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from Yale University. He speaks French, Spanish, Italian, and German fluently, and is proficient in Portuguese. Spencer splits his time between New York and Paris.

Nina Browning is living the good life after marrying into Nashville’s elite. Her husband’s tech business is booming, and her adored son, Finch, is bound for Princeton.

Tom Volpe is a single dad working multiple jobs. His adored daughter, Lyla, attends Nashville’s most prestigious private school on a scholarship. But amid the wealth and privilege, Lyla doesn’t always fit in.

Then one devastating photo changes everything. Finch snaps a picture of Lyla passed out at a party, adds a provocative caption, and sends it to a few friends. The photo spreads like wildfire, and before long, an already divided community is buzzing with scandal and assigning blame. In the middle of it all, Nina finds herself relating more to Tom’s reaction than her own husband’s—and facing an impossible choice.

A gripping novel about the whirlwind rise of an iconic 1970s rock group and their beautiful lead singer, revealing the mystery behind their infamous breakup.

Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.

Daisy came of age in LA in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs were thrilling, but it was the rock‘n’roll she loved the most. By the time she’d turned twenty, her voice was getting noticed, and she had the kind of heedless beauty that made people do crazy things. The Six, led by the brooding Billy Dunne, was also rising through the ranks of the LA music scene. On the eve of their first tour, Billy’s girlfriend becomes pregnant, prompting him to go a little wild on the road under the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame. Daisy and Billy crossed paths when a producer realized the key to supercharged success was to put the two together. What happened next became the stuff of legend.

The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice, Taylor Jenkins Reid takes her work to a new level with DAISY JONES AND THE SIX.

HARRY’S TREES by JON COHEN The first thing you learn when you climb a tree is to hold on. Now it’s time for Harry to learn to let go…

Thirty-four-year-old Harry Crane, lifelong lover of trees, works as an analyst in a treeless US Forest Service office. Devastated after losing his wife in a freak accident, he makes his way to the remote woods of northeastern Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains, intent on losing himself. But fate intervenes in the form of a fiercely determined young girl named Oriana. She, too, has lost someone—her father. And in the magical, willful world of her reckoning, Oriana believes that Harry is the key to finding her way back to him.

When Harry agrees to help the young girl, the unlikeliest of elements—a tree house, a Wolf, a small-town librarian and a book called The Grum’s Ledger— come together to create the biggest sensation ever to descend upon the Endless Mountains; a golden adventure that will fulfill Oriana’s wildest dreams and open the door to a new life for Harry.

From a stunning new voice in YA literature comes an epic, utterly unforgettable contemporary novel about a lost shipwreck, a missing piece of family history, and weathering the storms of life.

The Larkin family isn't just lucky-they persevere. At least that's what Violet and her younger brother, Sam, were always told. When the Lyric sank off the coast of Maine, their great-great-great-grandmother didn't drown like the rest of the passengers. No, Fidelia swam to shore, fell in love, and founded Lyric, Maine, the town Violet and Sam returned to every summer. But wrecks seem to run in the family: Tall, funny, musical Violet can't stop partying with the wrong people. And, one beautiful summer day, brilliant, sensitive Sam attempts to take his own life.

Shipped back to Lyric while Sam is in treatment, Violet is haunted by her family's missing piece-the lost shipwreck she and Sam dreamed of discovering when they were children. Desperate to make amends, Violet embarks on a wildly ambitious mission: locate the Lyric, lain hidden in a watery grave for over a century. She finds a fellow wreck hunter in Liv Stone, an amateur local historian whose sparkling intelligence and guarded gray eyes make Violet ache in an exhilarating new way. Whether or not they find the Lyric, the journey Violet takes-and the bridges she builds along the way-may be the start of something like survival. Epic, funny, and sweepingly romantic, THE LAST TRUE POETS OF THE SEA is an Disney-Hyperion (WE) astonishing debut about the strength it takes to swim up from a wreck.

WE DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS by ADI ALSAID

Central International School’s annual lock-in is legendary. Bonds are made. Contests are fought. Stories are forged that will be passed down from student to student for years to come.

This year’s lock-in begins normally enough. Then a group of students led by Marisa Cuevas stage an ecoprotest and chain themselves to the doors, vowing to keep everyone trapped inside until their list of demands is met.

Some students rally to their cause…but others are aggrieved to watch their own plans fall apart.

Amira has trained all year to compete in the school decathlon on her own terms. Peejay intended to honor his brother by throwing the greatest party CIS Inkyard Press (WE) has ever seen. Kenji was looking forward to making a splash at his improv showcase. Omar wanted to spend a little time with the boy he’s been crushing April 2020 on. Celeste, adrift in a new country, was hoping to connect with someone— anyone. And Marisa, once so certain of her goals, must now decide how far she’ll go to attain them.

Every year, lock-in night changes lives. This year, it might just change the world.

INDIVISIBLE by DANIEL ALEMAN There is a word Mateo Garcia and his younger sister Sophia have been taught to fear for as long as they can remember: deportation. Over the past few years, however, the concern that their undocumented immigrant parents could be sent back to Mexico has started to fade to the back of their minds. And why wouldn't it, when their Ma and Pa have been in the United States for so long, they have American-born children, and they're hard workers and good neighbors?

But when two ICE agents come looking for Pa, the Garcia family realizes that the lives they've built could well come crumbling down. Then, Mateo returns from school one day to find that their worst nightmare realized: his parents have been detained.

With his Ma and Pa being held in separate detention centers, Mateo must step-up and learn how to look after his sister and himself. The choices Mateo makes, and the people he turns to for help, might reunite his family…or tear them apart for good. With his parents’ fate and his own future hanging in the balance, Disney-Hyperion Mateo must figure out who he is and what he is capable of, even as he’s forced to question what it means to be an American teenager in a country that rejects his own mom and dad.

THE DISAPPEARANCES

by EMILY BAIN MURPHY

Aila Quinn’s mother, Juliet, has always been a mystery: vibrant yet guarded, she keeps her secrets beyond Aila’s reach. When Juliet dies, Aila and her younger brother Miles are sent to live in their mother’s hometown, Sterling, a rural enclave with mysteries of its own.

But one thing is clear: Sterling isn’t going to hold on to its secrets for much longer.

SPACE BETWEEN: Explorations of Love, Sex, and Fluidity by NICO TORTORELLA

Nico Tortorella is a seeker. Raised on a steady regimen of Ram Dass and raw food, they have always been interested in the more spiritual aspects of life. That is, until the desire for fame and fortune eclipsed their journey toward enlightenment and sent them into a downward spiral of addiction and self-destructive behavior. It wasn’t until Nico dug deep and began to examine the fluidity of both their sexuality and gender identity that they became more comfortable in their own skin, got sober from alcohol, entered into an unconventional marriage with the love of their life, and fully embraced a queer lifestyle that afforded them the opportunity to explore the world outside the gender binary. It was precisely in that space between that Nico encountered the diverse community of open- minded, supportive peers they’d always dreamed of having.

Expanding on themes explored on their popular podcast, The Love Bomb, Nico shares the intimate details of their romantic partnerships, the dysfunction of their loud but loving Italian family, and the mingling of their feminine and masculine identities into one multidimensional, sexually fluid, nonbinary individual. Nico has become a leading voice of the fluidity movement by encouraging open dialogue and universal acceptance. SPACE BETWEEN is at once an education for readers, Crown a manifesto for both the labeled and label-free generations, and a personal September 2019 memoir of love, identity, and acceptance.

It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan?

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.”

The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger.

A scientific exploration of how beliefs, behaviors, and ideas spread through social networks for a popular audience.

A big think book that will delight fans of Malcolm Gladwell, Chip and Dan Heath, and Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein’s NUDGE.

Most of what we know about how ideas spread comes from bestselling authors who give us a compelling picture of a world, in which “influencers” are king, “sticky” ideas “go viral,” and good behavior is “nudged” forward. The only problem is that the world they describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviors stay the same. It is a world of simple contagions, which spread quickly to Little, Brown (WE) everyone, but do not have any lasting impact on what we think or how we John Murray live. June 2021 Since Damon first developed his theory of complex contagions in 2007, it has been applied to everything from the unexpected growth of Arab Format: sample material Spring, to changes in coaching strategy in the NFL, to the rapid rise of the #MeToo movement, to the worldwide spread of Skype and Facebook. This Chinese (com) China Times book is the crystallization of fifteen years of groundbreaking research on social networks and behavior change, published in the world’s leading Chinese (sim) Citic scientific journals, awarded top prizes for theoretical discovery and Korean Woongjin Think Big methodological innovation, and patented by Harvard University. Romanian Grup Media Litera Damon’s book will start by busting myths and common mistakes re: the ways new ideas spread, but it will focus on solutions. It is about the spread of innovations, the dispersion of ideas, the adoption of inventions, the growth of social movements, the success of political campaigns, and the uptake of new health behaviors. With clear language, using high-profile examples drawn from business, sports, health, lifestyle, and politics, Damon is excited to change how popular readers see how new behaviors, beliefs, and ideas spread in the world they live in.
