"Abby Jimenez, the beloved author who brought you the fake-to-real-dating whirlwind Just for the Summer has made her much-anticipated return with another gut-wrenching slow-burn: The Night We Met. Rebecca Serle, author of In Five Years, continues her magical realism streak with her latest novel Once and Again."
"Broker's debut novel opens when Jack catches his grieving husband Randy packing an urn of his mother's ashes between pairs of sandals in a carry-on suitcase. This quiet domestic squabble follows the couple to a beach house on the Oregon coast, a trip they hope will quell their growing marital discontent."
"The novel opens with Lottie, a piano prodigy attending an elite prep school, as she celebrates her 16th birthday. As a gift, her legal guardian gives her a birth certificate that reveals her birth mother's true identity. Flip-flopping between the present and when Lottie's parents Annie and Will meet in 2003, The Encore follows the two generations on a collision course."
Spring's literary landscape features highly anticipated releases across multiple genres. Romance readers can expect Abby Jimenez's The Night We Met and Rebecca Serle's Once and Again, continuing their respective storytelling traditions. Notable debuts include Kirsten King's A Good Person, a dark comedy about hexing an ex that has already attracted film adaptation interest from Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Juliet Izon's The Encore, a cross-generational narrative spanning from 2003 to present day. Scott Broker's debut The Disappointment explores marital dynamics through surreal storytelling set on the Oregon coast. These releases demonstrate spring's breadth of literary offerings from established and emerging authors.
