"Nora thought she was finished with Rabbittown, Alabama, for good. But an unexpected tragedy turned her life upside down, and she's found herself back in her tiny hometown running the family casket business. There aren't exactly a lot of prospects for a single woman in her thirties in a place like Rabbittown. Until Nora Clanton's ordinary, casket-selling day is interrupted by a handsome stranger wandering into her shop and asking for directions--as well as a date. Garrett Bishop seems like the ideal guy. He's thoughtful, he's kind, and he has a lucrative job as a logistics coordinator, for which he seems to have a passion. She's not totally sure what "logistics" entails, but she knows it means long hours, lots of travel, and urgent calls in the middle of the night. When a few of Rabbittown's residents suddenly pass away--a heart attack here, a car crash there--and Garrett is spotted at the scenes of, well, all of the deaths, his frustratingly vague job description starts to become increasingly... suspicious. What is it that Garrett actually does for a living? He's a logistics coordinator for Death. When Nora discovers the truth, she is unable to reconcile the wonderful man she knows with the unthinkably cruel job he loves. Will she ever be able to understand how he can do what he does, or will she have to lay her best chance at love to rest?"--

"To save his family's failing funeral home-and his own chance at a queer love story-a reluctant clairvoyant must embrace the gift he long ignored in this poignant and tender debut, perfect for fans of the swoonworthy romance and queer community of One Last Stop and the macabre humor and family dysfunction of Mostly Dead Things. "Part ghost story, part Jewish family epic, and part romance, Rules for Ghosting is a meditation on life, death, and healing that is at turns bitingly funny and deeply moving." -Anita Kelly, author of Love and Other Disasters Rule #1: They can't speak. Rule #2: They can't move. Rule #3: They can't hurt you Ezra Friedman sees ghosts, which made growing up in a funeral home a bit complicated. It might have been easier if his grandfather's ghost didn't give him such scathing looks of disapproval as he went through a second, HRT-induced puberty, or if he didn't have the pressure of all those relatives-living and dead-judging every choice he makes. It's no wonder that Ezra runs as far away from the family business as humanly possible. But when the floor of his dream job drops out from under him and his mother uses the family Passover seder to tell everyone that she's running away with the rabbi's wife, Ezra finds himself back in the thick of it. With his parents' marriage imploding and the Friedman Family Memorial Chapel on the brink of financial ruin, Ezra agrees to step into his mother's shoes and help out . . . which means long days surrounded by ghosts that no one else can see. And then there's his unfortunate crush on Jonathan, the handsome funeral home volunteer who just happens to live downstairs from Ezra's new apartment . . . and the appearance of the ghost of Jonathan's gone-too-soon husband, Ben, who is breaking every spectral rule Ezra knows. Because Ben can speak. He can move. And as Ezra tries to keep his family together and his heart from getting broken, he quickly realizes that there's more than one way to be haunted-and more than one way to become a ghost"--

"Becoming invisible is painful... unless you know how to work it. Ammalie Dean has just lost the three keys of her life's purpose - her husband, her job, and her role as a mom after her son went off to college. She's also mystified to find herself in middle age - how exactly had that happened? The idea of becoming irrelevant, invisible, of letting her life vaguely slip away-well, the terror of that has her driving through Nebraska with a fork in her hair. What she does have is this: three literal keys, saved in a drawer for years. Keys to homes she hopes will be empty, from her and her husband's past - homes she plans on breaking into. And so Ammalie embarks on an international and increasingly complicated journey - criminal behavior turns out to be challenging - as she seeks to find a life truly her own. And that middle age business? As someone breaking the law, she finds there's real benefit to being invisible while she works on becoming the striking, bold, and very much manifested self she wants to be. Laura Pritchett, winner of the PEN USA Award for Fiction and the Colorado Book Award, offers a delightful exploration of the very serious business of living a full and honest life. Filled with love, heartbreak, and criminal behavior, Three Keys tackles the unavoidable sorrows and joys coming of age (again) with the zest and vigor that it deserves"--

"A young magazine writer in Mumbai must prove her matchmaking skills-and contend with growing feelings for her close family friend-in this debut romance Jia Deshpande, the ever-confident stylish fashionista, is a writer with Mimosa, Mumbai's top women's magazine, where she begrudgingly writes clichâe articles about finding "the one." Out of the office, Jia writes the messy truth of real love on her anonymous blog while balancing competitive family game nights and growing feelings for her childhood family-friend. If that wasn't enough, Jia has been tasked with successfully setting up a coworker to get her boss's approval for her new matchmaking column. It's all in a day's work for Jia. Jaiman Patil can't help but be enamored by Jia and her meddling spirit. They've known each other since childhood, playing while their fathers bonded over business. Now he's an honorary part of her family, ever since his own moved to America, leaving Jaiman behind to pursue his dream of running a local pub. Life with the Deshpandes is chaotic and loud, but it's more love than he ever had growing up. It's also a lot to lose, so confessing his deeply romantic feelings for Jia is completely out of the question. When Jia's first attempt at matchmaking goes haywire, risking new friendships and her relationship with Jaiman, she must reevaluate her own thoughts on love. For the first time, Jia Deshpande doesn't know how to juggle the obstacles ahead of her. Love may be a bit more complicated than she thought, but luckily, happily-ever-afters are never in short supply in Mumbai"--
