'Michelle is the queen of boundaries' KATIE PIPERWe live in a society that heroises romantic love over platonic love. Just look at the language we have for each stage: from seeing each other to dating, to getting engaged and married. We even have multiple options for fuck buddies, non-exclusive, no strings attached, friends with benefits or a casual relationship. Yet research shows that a person will have on average seven to ten romantic relationships in their lifetime and twenty-nine friends - so why is it that the conversation on love is far greater than the conversation on friendship? When only six of these friendships will stand the test of time, this means that the average person will experience the ending of twenty-three friendships in their lifetime - that's three times the amount of romantic breakups. Despite this, friendship break-ups remain a taboo.As someone who has gone through a dozen friendship breakups, life coach, broadcaster and public speaker Michelle Elman began to think she was a Bad Friend. She grieved in silence, shrouded by shame and secrecy, because when society doesn't make room for a conversation about friendship breakups, you learn not to either. Just like a romantic break up, have one too many and society starts questioning why your relationships keep ending. But what if you aren't the problem? What if the problem is the way we think about friendship breakups?Bad Friend will remove the stigma from friendships breakups, sparking a much-needed conversation and making us question everything we have been taught about them. This is the book for anyone who has ever been hurt by a friend but it's also the book to reassure you that you're not a bad friend.

The first book in the Bonded To Beasts duology - a fast-paced, seductive series that flawlessly blends searing romance, political intrigue, elemental magic and of course, dragons.

The complex, lyrical, hilarious and completely wonderful debut novel by award-winning poet and campaigner, Karen McCarthy Woolf.An entitled porcelain doll struggles to cope with reality when her lifetime companion, a reclusive billionaire heiress, is admitted to hospital. This is their story.Top Doll is a verse novel and a highly unreliable, semi-fictional biography of the eccentric American billionaire heiress Huguette Clarke, who died in New York's Beth Israel Hospital, age 106, not having been outside for more than 50 years. She trusted no one and spoke to few, except for accountant, her lawyer and her vast collection of dolls, who together narrate this miniature epic. It is both deadly serious and incredibly funny in its exploration of the emotional influence dolls exert on the human psyche and how this embodies family power dynamics and the politics of race, wealth and desire.

Is it love? Is it hate? Or is it a chronic case of the ick?Gem is chronically single, with a chronic case of the ick. Every man she meets seems perfect on paper, some of them even seem perfect in person - until she notices something... They snort when they laugh, they use too many exclamation marks, they love wearing a silk dressing gown, their jeans are just a bit too blue and a bit too skinny - and she's completely, irrevocably put off. Gem claims it's her intuition telling her that they're incompatible, but her housemate, Shanti, doesn't agree. After a string of bad dates, Shanti, who is training to become a Clinical Psychologist, tells Gem that she'll pay her to take part in her study: Is intuition real?Cue Atlas, who's putting the theory to the test. On paper, he passes with flying colours. He's employed, his hair appears to be his own, he has friends, a nice smile, and a decent sense of humour. But, as soon as she sees Atlas in person, Gem gets hit by the ick. He's carrying a bag that is so big it makes him look like a turtle. This, combined with his ridiculous name, means he already has two strikes against him. Every fibre of her body is telling her to leave the date early, but thanks to Shanti's study, Gem breaks all her own rules -- going on a second date, a third, and even a fourth, until she starts losing count. Can Gem do the impossible and actually start falling for Atlas? And what happens when he finds out she's being paid to date him?A sexy, swoon-worthy and hilarious romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Ali Hazlewood.
