“Life’s shifting pieces bring opposing chess players together in a duel for the heart in this witty and swoon worthy YA debut from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.”

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017)

This book is also fiercely and unapologetically socio-political and we love that. Evelyn’s story is one of being a woman in a man’s world. It is one of being a Cuban woman in a white woman’s world. It is one of being a bisexual woman in an era where attraction to women was demonized by the whole culture. It is one of hiding yourself for ambition, one of trying to decide which one takes precedent, one of aging, and one of never knowing whether your choices were right.
