'Brilliant, hilarious, addictive. My new literary obsession' ALICE SLATER

'Fresh and vital . . . Lots of fun' MARIE CLAIRE

For anyone who has ever had a crush, welcome to your new personal obsession.

Mika is about to turn twenty-five, and all she has to show for it is a soul-sucking office job and a terminal case of virginity. Between the pervy salarymen she works with and the pretty boys she pines after, Mika is ready to explode.

But it’s summer in Tokyo, AKA peacock season. Time to strut her stuff. So when her certified Hot Girl bestie sends her the invite for an upcoming beach party, Mika clicks ‘attending’. Just when she thinks real life is never going to live up to the wild fantasies her imagination cooks up, someone new catches her eye. It could be limerence, or the beginning of something much less one-sided . . .

‘This book is coming for YOU if…
…you’ve ever had a crush so intense it’s become a full-time job
…you’ve ever accidentally built an entire future with someone after a single interaction
…you’ve ever interpreted basic eye contact as a sign from the universe’


‘Transcendent, humorous and self deprecating in the way that only someone truly self-aware can pull off’


‘Mika’s inner monologue is downright crazy and ridiculous at times, but I can’t help but love her for it. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and boy does she have a lot to say. A Gen Z girl at heart. She’s just to incredibly funny and relatable while simultaneously being completely delusional. I caught myself giggling, just having so much fun while reading this’


‘Ahh, here comes my favourite contemporary trope: loser gen z with an awful dating life. A guilty pleasure, tbh’


‘If you have ever felt the kind of love that feels more like a fever: a crushing, all-consuming obsession that blurs the lines of reality, then Momo Yamaguchi’s Hello, Limerence is the mirror you’ve been both seeking and fearing’


‘Yeah girl, I remember being 24 too. A perfect portrait of an inexperienced but love-obsessed young woman trying to make sense of the signals she’s given’


‘I could read another thousand pages of this book and I still don’t know if it will be enough. I can’t wait to read more from Yamaguchi’

Bold, queer and utterly thrilling, Hell's Heart is a speculative, spicy, slow-burn adventure
from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, Alexis Hall.

Earth is dead. Which leaves humanity stuck living under domes on planets that will kill them if they run out of fuel - fuel harvested at great risk from gargantuan space monsters.

Following a charismatic captain, a nameless voyager joins this monster hunt. She's hoping to get paid, and maybe laid. And in the
ship's close quarters, she finds an unlikely ally in Q, a fierce woman from old earth, whose touch ignites something within her.

Ordered to pursue the greatest leviathan of all, the crew will fight beasts, other ships and one another.
All in search of their nemesis, above the roiling red heart of that world.

Helm is a ferocious, mischievous wind – a subject of folklore and wonder – who has blasted the sublime landscape of the Eden Valley since the very dawn of time.

This is Helm’s life story, formed from the chronicles of those the wind enchanted: the Neolithic tribe who tried to placate it, the Dark Age wizard priest who wanted to banish it, the Victorian steam engineer who attempted to capture it – and the farmer’s daughter who fell in love. But now Dr Selima Sutar, surrounded by measuring instruments, alone in her observation hut, fears the end is nigh.

Vital and audacious, Helm is the elemental tale of a unique life force – and of a relationship: between nature and people, neither of whom can weather life without the other.

'Sarah Hall's writing has conquered the body and the soul and now it conquers the wind itself.' DAISY JOHNSON
'I can think of no other British writer whose talent so consistently thrills, surprises and staggers.' BENJAMIN MYERS

'A spectacular epic tapestry. Nobody could tell the story of our inextricable relationship with wild nature as beautifully as Sarah Hall.' LEE SCHOFIELD

'A big, celebratory book, in places delightfully playful, in others as tight and breathless as a thriller.' ANDREW MILLER
