On The Nobody Code: A spellbinding novel steeped in New England folklore following a woman who leaves her marriage to uncover who’s punishing her for the crimes of her adolescence—for fans of Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods and Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You.
“Gault explores coming-of-age, the power of stories, and vigilante justice in this ambitious literary mystery. . . . [She] dusts the proceedings with light mysticism . . . grounding the story’s emotional stakes while lending it added psychological depth. . . . Engrossing.”―Publisher’s Weekly
On The Dry Season: A Memoir: From Melissa Febos, the national bestselling author of Girlhood, comes an examination of the solitude, freedoms, and feminist heroes she discovered during a year of celibacy and a wise and transformative look at relationships and self-knowledge.
“The Dry Season is a propulsive, thoughtful memoir about the author’s yearlong hiatus from dating, romance, and sex. . . . In a culture obsessed with love and sex, where being single is pathologized and looked down upon, this story of solo self-discovery is revolutionary.”—Oprah Daily
“Presenting a model for celibacy that is self-guided rather than socially imposed and compassionate rather than punitive; this book should be required reading for anyone who’s ever been told to ‘just take a break from relationships.’”—Vogue
