Sold outHustle, Baby
From the incendiary voice behind Your Driver is Waiting, a riotous novel following a family of Tamil refugees who fled civil war in Sri Lanka to pursue a better life, just for it to be up-ended by the schemes of a self-proclaimed day-trading savant, jeopardizing everything they've worked so desperately to secure. It's hard enough to be a teenager at the turn of the millennium, and especially so for Dilo, who on top of juggling school and caring for her baby-cousin Maysha, is tasked with hustling to help her family get by. After Dilo's born-again Christian mother, Mary, and Aunt Anji relocated the family from Sri Lanka fleeing the civil war, one thing's become blindingly clear--the "rags-to-riches" fairytale they were promised is bullshit. The system is rigged, so sometimes you have to cheat to win. Their family operates on the margins, working constantly to earn just enough to pay off their last meal. But they can only ignore stacks of overdue rent notices for so long, and when both matriarchs unexpectedly lose their jobs, desperation begins to set in. With eviction imminent, they are thrown a lifeline when they meet Mark, a swaggering day-trader, who promises to turn their small initial investment into thousands of dollars overnight on the stock exchange. At last, a miracle, and the family quickly become his apostles, recruiting investors by spreading the good word of his perpetual 10% returns. But they soon discover what really fuels Mark's seemingly endless generosity, and when the markets turn they are left to navigate treacherous but familiar terrain. They must do what they always have, find a path where there isn't one--survive. From the acclaimed author of Your Driver is Waiting, with "a ferocity of voice that belongs to Priya Guns alone" (Camille Perri, NYTBR), Hustle, Baby is a fearless and feral novel about one family's quest to live the good life, and what happens when we push those with nothing past their breaking point.Sold out -

Sold outChosen Family
An exuberant and irreverently funny novel about one gorgeously messy friendship-feud-unrequited-love-affair set in Sydney across eighteen years.
Nell Argall and Eve Bowman are both brilliant, odd, and friendless. When they meet on the brutal battlefield that is their posh all girls' high school during their first year there, both their lives are changed forever. From school, to university, to careers, Nell and Eve's relationship is a life raft that is also a poison apple that is also a Medusan stare, frozen in time.
When the passion, guilt, shame, and joy that perpetually twists and turns between them finally implodes, Nell abruptly walks away, leaving Eve alone at the helm of the gloriously unorthodox family they've built with their seven-year-old daughter, Lake. Eve finds herself left wondering: Can the wounds of adolescent betrayal ever really heal? Can we ever really understand what's going on in someone else's head? And what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Written with Gray's characteristic big-heartedness and dark wit, Chosen Family is a queer modern classic that reminds us again and again that sometimes the most fulfilling and life-saving relationships are the ones that are the hardest to define.

The New York Times bestselling author of Unfu*k Yourself helps you get out of the past, focus on the future, and build the life you've always wanted.
There are countless self-help books telling you how to get the life you want--how to find your purpose, make your plan, follow your goals. Yet, too many of us are frozen in life, unfulfilled and stuck with what we have.
Too often, we only see our future through a lens of the past--our past beliefs, experiences, and circumstances. We desire lives that are "better," "more," or "different." But we need to focus on crafting a life of invention, completely free of the constraints of what has been, and Gary John Bishop has the answer.
Now What? is your guide to building the right mindset to reinvent not only your life but what you are devoting your life to. Be warned though: Gary's message isn't for the faint of heart. You will be confronted and unsettled, challenged and provoked. But on the other side is an invigorating, hands-on approach to living life. Your life. Maybe even a life you never believed you could have. Let's fu*king go.

On the Origin of Sex: The Weird and Wonderful Science of Reproduction
From split-gill mushrooms to duck-billed platypuses, the spectacular science of sexual reproduction and creation of biodiversity on Earth. "Smart, thoughtful, and witty, this book will make you rethink what you thought you knew about sex." --Cat Bohannon, author of Eve Let's talk about sex. Not boring, human sex, but the endlessly fascinating, varied, and complex forms of reproduction in the rest of the natural world. Biologist Lixing Sun has spent decades researching sexual reproduction and evolution using behavioral experiments, genetic testing, and mathematical and computer modeling. In On the Origin of Sex, he reveals the wild and weird world of how creatures reproduce. In slime molds, sex can involve dozens--or even hundreds--of mating types, or proto-sexes. Among certain algae, nearly every individual can mate with almost any other--a veritable free-for-all. Meanwhile, whiptail lizards and California condors are just two among the many vertebrate species capable of parthenogenesis. Clownfish sequentially change from male to female, and bearded dragons can undergo temperature-dependent sex reversal, all of which challenge the notion that sex is binary and fixed in the natural world. Assiduously researched and narrated with humor and verve, On the Origin of Sex offers an expert and entertaining investigation into the science of how our planet is populated.Sold out -
