An irresistible and achingly relatable debut novel for anyone who has
ever had to let go of what they thought their life would look like and
open themselves up to the dizzying possibilities of chance.
Elliot. Joe. Tommy. Nathanael. Wren. Oliver. Malik. Zach. Frank.
Patrick. Noah. These are the men Margot has loved, liked, lusted over.
Since she was seventeen, she’s pictured them like stepping stones –
each one bringing her closer to finding someone to share her life with
and, eventually, father the children she’s always imagined in her
future.
From her first sexual encounter, to her first love, from grown-up
dilemmas to spontaneous thrills, she’s soaked up every experience
available to her, discovering friendship, joy and despair. Through all
of this she’s refined her search until she believes she’s arrived at
‘the ending’ to her story.
So how did she find herself here, single at thirty-four, and about to
make the biggest decision of her life?

Art and Mimi Brotherton. Devoted siblings and housemates, they're
bound together by the tragic death of their parents. They agree on
not quite everything. Art thinks people are incapable of making
sensible decisions, especially when it comes to love. That's what
algorithms are for. Mimi knows her brother is a mathematical
genius, but thinks maths isn't the answer to everything. When Mimi
decides she needs more from life than devoting herself to her
brilliant brother, she starts looking for love. But Art has a
condition: that she find her soulmate using a strict mathematical
principle. Initially, things seem promising. That is, until Mimi
meets Frank: a romantic, spontaneous stargazer, and also a
mathematician. But definitely not algorithm-approved. As Art's
mistrust of Frank grows, so do Mimi's feelings, and the siblings'
relationship is tested to breaking point. Something about Frank
doesn't quite add up, and only Art can see it . . . The Theory of
(Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, intelligent and
uplifting novel about brothers and sisters, true love in all its
forms, and how life is more than just a numbers game . . .
Join the puppies and Buster as they find out you don't have to be

"A remarkable novel" ("The New York Times") about America's first
female soldier, Deborah Sampson Gannett, who ran away from home in
1782, successfully disguised herself as a man, and fought valiantly
in the Revolutionary War.
At a time when rigid societal norms seemed absolute, Deborah
Sampson risked everything in search of something better.
"Revolutionary," Alex Myers's richly imagined and carefully
researched debut novel, tells the story of a fierce-tempered young
woman turned celebrated solider and the remarkable courage, hope,
fear, and heartbreak that shaped her odyssey during the birth of a
nation.
After years of indentured servitude in a sleepy Massachusetts town,
Deborah chafes under the oppression of colonial society and cannot
always hide her discontent. When a sudden crisis forces her hand,
she decides to escape the only way she can, rejecting her place in
the community in favor of the perilous unknown. Cutting her hair,
binding her chest, and donning men's clothes stolen from a
neighbor, Deborah sheds her name and her home, beginning her
identity-shaking transformation into the imaginary "Robert
Shurtliff"--a desperate and dangerous masquerade that grows more
serious when "Robert" joins the Continental Army.
What follows is a journey through America's War of Independence
like no other--an unlikely march through cold winters across bloody
battlefields, the nightmare of combat and the cruelty of betrayal,
the elation of true love and the tragedy of heartbreak. As "The
Boston Globe "raves, ""Revolutionary" succeeds on a number of
levels, as a great historical-military adventure story, as an
exploration of gender identity, and as a page-turning description
of the fascinating life of the revolutionary Deborah Sampson."
