Nothing Like the Movies by Lynn Painter is the highly anticipated, incredibly charming, and emotional sequel to the smash-hit Young Adult rom-com Better Than the Movies.

Picking up where the first book left off, this entry transitions from the sweet, nostalgic innocence of high school into the messy, high-stakes reality of freshman year at college. It is a brilliant, laugh-out-loud look at how real-life love stories rarely follow a perfect Hollywood script.

An absolute modern literary masterpiece and a massive global phenomenon, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is the brilliant debut novel by prize-winning poet Ocean Vuong. Written as a deeply intimate, heartbreakingly honest letter from a son to a mother who cannot read, this novel transcends traditional storytelling to offer a devastatingly beautiful exploration of race, class, masculinity, and the healing power of language.
