Being in love means being brave in The Love Haters, the newest laugh out loud, all the feels rom-com by New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center. Producer Janie Vaughn’s co-worker helps her get a career-making gig profiling a Coast Guard rescue swimmer (who just happens to be his brother)—by claiming, falsely, that Janie is his girlfriend.

As Janie spends time in Key West with the swimmer, Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson (along with his colorful Aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane), she gets trapped by that lie—falling madly for Hutch, even as he thinks she’s the one woman on earth he can’t date.

Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

One of the hottest stand-ups working today, Nate Bargatze brings his everyman comedy to the page in this hilarious collection of personal stories, opinions, and confessions.

Nate Bargatze used to be a genius. That is, until the summer after seventh grade when he slipped, fell off a cliff, hit his head on a rock, and "my brain got, like, dented or something." Before this accident, he dreamed of being "an electric engineer, or a brain doctor, or maybe a math person who does like, math things for a living." Afterwards, a voice in his head told him, "It's okay. You're dumb now. All you got is standup." But the "math things' industry's loss is our gain because Nate went on to become one of today's top-grossing comedians who breaks both attendance and streaming records.

In his highly anticipated first book, Nate talks about life as a non-genius. From stories about his first car (named Old Blue, a clunky Mazda with a tennis ball for a stick shift), life as a Southerner (Northerners constantly ask him things like, do you believe in dinosaurs?), and his first apartment where a rat chewed a hole right through the wall to how his wife keeps him in line and so much more. He also reflects on such topics as Vandy football and the origins of sushi (how can a Philadelphia roll be from old-time Japan?).

Nate's book is full of heart and it will make readers laugh out loud and nod in recognition, but it probably won't make them think too much.

A breathless, riveting novel about a young woman diagnosed with bipolar disorder who rejects the stability and approval found in a traditionally “normal” life for a career in stand-up comedy.

Maddy Banks is just like any other stressed-out freshman at NYU. Between schoolwork, exams, navigating life in the city, and a recent breakup, it’s normal to be feeling overwhelmed. It doesn’t help that she’s always felt like the odd one out in her picture-perfect Connecticut family. But Maddy’s latest low is devastatingly low, and she goes on an antidepressant. She begins to feel good, dazzling in fact, and she soon spirals high into a wild and terrifying mania that culminates in a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

As she struggles to find her way in this new reality, navigating the complex effects bipolar has on her identity, her relationships, and her life dreams, Maddy will have to figure out how to manage being both too much and not enough.

With her signature deep empathy and insight, Harvard-trained neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author, Lisa Genova, has crafted another profoundly moving novel that makes complicated mental health issues accessible and human. More or Less Maddy is a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding the nuances of mental health.
