She has plenty of reasons to avoid motherhood, from her own family history to a simple lack of desire for the role. But when her younger sister, Joely, faces a health crisis and refuses necessary medical treatment because it will leave her infertile, Kate is pushed to the brink. In a moment of desperation, she makes a promise to have a baby, hoping it will convince her sister to accept the treatment she needs to survive.\n\nThis decision sets off a chain of events that forces Kate to keep a massive secret from her husband. As she struggles to reconcile her promise with the life she has built, she must confront her own fears and the true meaning of family loyalty. Set against the backdrop of complex sibling dynamics, the story explores the difficult choices people make for those they love and the unexpected ways those choices can alter the course of their own lives.

D. Salinger's only novel has become one of the defining portraits of adolescent alienation in American literature. Over the course of a few restless winter days, sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield narrates his flight from Pencey Prep — the latest boarding school to expel him — into the streets of New York City, where he drifts from hotel bars to Central Park, from an old teacher's apartment to a carousel in the rain, unwilling to go home and face his parents.\n\nHolden's voice is the novel's engine: caustic, funny, evasive, and quietly grieving. He rails against the \"phoniness\" of the adult world while circling the losses he can barely name — chief among them the death of his younger brother — and clings to a fantasy of protecting childhood innocence, imagining himself as the \"catcher in the rye\" who keeps children from falling off a cliff.\n\nA landmark of postwar fiction and a perennial fixture of banned-book lists, The Catcher in the Rye endures because Holden's confusion, tenderness, and refusal to grow up still read as painfully honest. It is a short, deceptively simple book about depression, connection, and the terror of leaving childhood behind.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktfjh91467zf34j97snhn4z0.jpg?v=14021383c2","LGJ%]:9ZR.s:~TR-WBofA0n$s,j=",1951,"4.00",6,256,[100,104],{"id":101,"slug":102,"name":103},"01kjqxgs07cx76zherew1q7czv","shao-jia-yun-b2ex","Shao jia yun",{"id":105,"slug":106,"name":107},"01kjqxgryhnattzqhsc3cmzvr2","j-d-salinger-bxn6","J.

But Auggie was born with a rare facial difference, and after twenty-seven surgeries and a childhood spent being homeschooled, he has never gone to a real school. That changes when his parents enroll him in fifth grade at Beecher Prep.\n\nWonder follows Auggie's first year among classmates who stare, whisper, and sometimes cruelly exclude him — and the handful who become true friends. Told in turn by Auggie and the people around him, including his fiercely protective older sister Via and his friends Jack and Summer, the novel widens its lens so that we see the same events from many sides.\n\nR.J.

He knows every prime number up to 7,057, cannot bear to be touched, and reads faces and social situations only with great effort. When he discovers his neighbour's dog, Wellington, killed with a garden fork, he decides to investigate the crime and to write a murder-mystery novel about it — modelled on the Sherlock Holmes stories he loves.\n\nChristopher's methodical inquiry, though, keeps leading him past the dog and into the far more bewildering territory of his own family. As he uncovers things his father would rather he never knew, his careful, ordered world is upended, and he is forced onto a terrifying journey that takes far more courage than any maths problem.\n\nNarrated entirely in Christopher's precise, literal, and often very funny voice, Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a crossover phenomenon and a modern classic. It is a mystery, a coming-of-age story, and a compassionate portrait of a mind that works by its own uncompromising logic.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksy8annmsbbd0dg58jh156j6.jpg","LGP1mY|^As}Es.jtazfQxZoLNbS3",2003,242,[179],{"id":180,"slug":181,"name":182},"01kjq7ryvxn6v8arfewnchsxxb","mark-haddon-lbp8","Mark Haddon",[184,188,189,193,196,197,198,202],{"id":185,"name":186,"slug":187,"is_fiction":15},14,"Plays","plays",{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":190,"name":191,"slug":192,"is_fiction":15},61,"YA","ya",{"id":97,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":15},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":15},{"id":199,"name":200,"slug":201,"is_fiction":14},94,"Animals","animals",{"id":151,"name":152,"slug":153,"is_fiction":14},[],{"pace":41,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":205,"themes":208,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[206,46,207],"funny","tense",[86],{"id":210,"slug":211,"title":212,"description":213,"primary_cover_url":214,"cover_blurhash":215,"first_publish_year":138,"community_rating_avg":216,"community_rating_count":123,"page_count":217,"authors":218,"genres":223,"series":243,"enrichment":247},"01kjq81jxttpx1k2dtwgbkfbjf","the-fault-in-our-stars-18go","The Fault in Our Stars","Hazel Grace Lancaster is sixteen and has lived with terminal thyroid cancer for years, kept alive by an experimental drug and tethered to a portable oxygen tank.

There she meets Augustus Waters, a confident seventeen-year-old in remission from osteosarcoma who lost part of a leg to the disease and who is preoccupied with the fear of leaving no mark on the world.\n\nTheir friendship turns into a tentative, clear-eyed romance built on shared humor, a love of books, and an unwillingness to pretend that illness is noble.

Told in terse, hypnotic prose with an unreliable narrator and one of fiction's most infamous twists, Fight Club became a cult classic and the basis for David Fincher's film.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkcaky1pczaxxb6wpejpz59v.jpg","LCKx0b%NM{xu00sC4nX7008{~qM{",1996,222,[329],{"id":330,"slug":331,"name":332},"01kjss78sknxyh4h4fjpsvtnwk","chuck-palahniuk-0acs","Chuck Palahniuk",[334,337,338,342,343,347,351,355],{"id":37,"name":335,"slug":336,"is_fiction":15},"Science Fiction","science-fiction",{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":339,"name":340,"slug":341,"is_fiction":15},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":344,"name":345,"slug":346,"is_fiction":14},103,"Society","society",{"id":348,"name":349,"slug":350,"is_fiction":15},118,"Satire","satire",{"id":352,"name":353,"slug":354,"is_fiction":15},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":356,"name":357,"slug":358,"is_fiction":15},5,"Thriller","thriller",[360],{"id":361,"slug":362,"name":322,"position":79,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kk3nj5m2p6g2qxyn5p7mg64q","fight-club-7jsz",{"pace":364,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":365,"themes":366,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[317,206],[130],{"id":368,"slug":369,"title":370,"description":371,"primary_cover_url":372,"cover_blurhash":373,"first_publish_year":374,"community_rating_avg":375,"community_rating_count":376,"page_count":377,"authors":378,"genres":380,"series":385,"enrichment":386},"01kjst8a9ag0z98gv362xpgjy3","looking-for-alaska-nafp","Looking for Alaska","Miles \"Pudge\" Halter leaves his uneventful life in Florida for Culver Creek, an Alabama boarding school, chasing what the dying François Rabelais called the \"Great Perhaps.\" There he falls in with a tight circle of misfits — his sharp, broke roommate Chip \"the Colonel\" Martin, the loyal Takumi, and above all Alaska Young: clever, funny, magnetic, and privately unravelling.

It opens in 1491, on the eve of the fall of Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in Iberia, and follows the household of Abu Jaafar, a Granadan bookbinder, across five generations as their world is slowly, systematically dismantled.\n\nThrough the family's marriages, births, and losses, the trilogy traces what it meant to live through conquest: the broken promises of the victors, the public burning of Arabic books, forced baptism and the banning of language and dress, the terror of the Inquisition, and the final expulsion of the Moriscos. Some of Abu Jaafar's descendants try to assimilate and survive in silence; others join the doomed resistance in the mountains; the healer Saleema pays a terrible price for her learning; and each must decide how to hold on to faith, memory, and identity as everything familiar is stripped away.\n\nComprising the novels Granada, Maryama, and Departure, Ashour's trilogy is a landmark of modern Arabic literature—an intimate, elegiac meditation on loss, resilience, and cultural erasure, told with quiet lyricism and deep historical feeling.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfh06x5zgvzzppeqfpny5yc.jpg","LWIzRyo04=s.}:oetPaz=vazX8a|",1994,"3.75",502,[442,446],{"id":443,"slug":444,"name":445},"01kkfh06wx5sw8qjd435dpwpjx","radwa-ashour-fbup","Radwa Ashour",{"id":447,"slug":448,"name":449},"01kkfh06x2v8wcdv9qdwd81cvr","rdo-aaashor-xfct","رضوى عاشور",[451,452,453,454],{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":15},{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":15},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":455,"name":456,"slug":457,"is_fiction":14},70,"History","history",[459],{"id":460,"slug":461,"name":462,"position":79,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfh06y120bvxmatsvmfc50w","the-granada-trilogy-g7bv","The Granada Trilogy",{"pace":464,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":465,"themes":466,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[388,46],[48],{"id":468,"slug":469,"title":470,"description":471,"primary_cover_url":472,"cover_blurhash":473,"first_publish_year":474,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":10,"page_count":475,"authors":476,"genres":481,"series":496,"enrichment":497},"01kkfh2pegv7hc3gcjz6a4y6dr","diavola-7zxf","Diavola","Diavola is Jennifer Marie Thorne's gothic haunted-house novel — a sharp, unnervingly funny twist on the classic ghost story, set against a family vacation from hell.\n\nEvery year the Pace family, whose surname ironically means \"peace\" in Italian, descends on some idyllic destination, and every year Anna, the black sheep, follows her two survival rules: tread lightly and get out alive.

Over the decades that follow, their friendships deepen, their careers rise, and their lives orbit ever more closely around Jude, the enigmatic center of their group.\n\nAt its heart, the novel is the story of Jude: of the unspeakable abuse and trauma of his childhood, of his enduring shame and self-loathing, and of the love—romantic, fraternal, and paternal—that the people around him offer as they try to save a man who cannot quite believe he deserves saving. Hanya Yanagihara writes with an intimacy that makes the reader complicit in both the tenderness and the devastation.\n\nSweeping, immersive, and profoundly painful, A Little Life is an unflinching examination of friendship, trauma, and the limits of human repair. It is also, by wide reputation, one of the most emotionally harrowing novels of its generation—beautiful and brutal in equal measure.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjqtre35wwzs4e43kcfjtvd6.jpg","L28Nz:0000?w-=Rj4mt700.9MxD$",2015,736,[716],{"id":717,"slug":718,"name":719},"01kjqtre3b0y0sdtbp895v7y8j","hanya-yanagihara-63od","Hanya Yanagihara",[721,722,723,724],{"id":275,"name":276,"slug":277,"is_fiction":15},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":464,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":727,"themes":728,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[317,44,46],[729],"found-family",{"id":731,"slug":732,"title":733,"description":734,"primary_cover_url":735,"cover_blurhash":736,"first_publish_year":374,"community_rating_avg":96,"community_rating_count":228,"page_count":737,"authors":738,"genres":743,"series":755,"enrichment":756},"01kjq7vve1jp8xd330grwrj6z5","kafka-on-the-shore-ijax","Kafka on the Shore","Kafka on the Shore follows two seemingly unrelated journeys that gradually bend toward each other. Kafka Tamura, a fiercely self-reliant fifteen-year-old, runs away from his father's house in Tokyo to escape a grim prophecy and to search for the mother and sister who abandoned him years ago. His flight carries him to a quiet private library in the seaside city of Takamatsu, where he takes shelter among the stacks and the people who tend them.\n\nElsewhere, Satoru Nakata, an aging man who lost his memory and his ability to read after a strange childhood incident, moves through the same world on a quieter frequency. Nakata cannot manage much of ordinary life, but he can talk to cats, and a simple errand to find a lost pet pulls him onto a road he does not fully understand.\n\nAs their paths run in parallel, Murakami threads together talking animals, spirits that slip loose from the living, fish that fall from the sky, and a song that seems to hold memory itself. It is a novel about fate and free will, about grief and desire, and about the strange interior places we travel through to become ourselves. Dreamlike and exact at once, it rewards readers willing to sit inside mystery rather than demand that every thread be tied.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5qvvrrkfghx8x34z0h319.jpg","LB9rw%B71b|xxuj[o2SL3V;%[X6z",512,[739],{"id":740,"slug":741,"name":742},"01kjq7vve6v87xc574qr4c7a4y","untitled-pcch","村上春樹",[744,748,749,750,751,754],{"id":745,"name":746,"slug":747,"is_fiction":15},11,"Mythology","mythology",{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":651,"name":652,"slug":653,"is_fiction":15},{"id":97,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":15},{"id":376,"name":752,"slug":753,"is_fiction":15},"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":464,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":757,"themes":758,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[501,46],[],{"key":760,"params":761,"works":762},"genre_mood",{"genre":25,"mood":44},[763,790,804,820,834,867],{"id":764,"slug":765,"title":766,"description":767,"primary_cover_url":768,"cover_blurhash":769,"first_publish_year":299,"community_rating_avg":770,"community_rating_count":228,"page_count":7,"authors":771,"genres":776,"series":782,"enrichment":787},"01kjq7aywdmj0gddkjrsm8fpet","it-ends-with-us-cmv3","It Ends With Us","Lily Bloom moves to Boston to open a flower shop and meets Ryle Kincaid — a successful neurosurgeon opposed to relationships — and Atlas Corrigan, the boy who was her first love and whose return complicates everything.

Charlie is a watchful, tender narrator, but his letters slowly reveal the grief and trauma he carries — the recent suicide of a friend and buried memories that surface as the year goes on.\n\nFrank about depression, abuse, sexuality, and the strange exhilaration of belonging, The Perks of Being a Wallflower has been both widely beloved and frequently challenged.

When Nora Seed reaches her lowest point, convinced she has nothing left to offer the world, she finds herself in the Midnight Library, a place suspended at the stroke of midnight where the clocks never move. Each book on its shelves opens onto a different version of the life she might have lived: the marriage she walked away from, the Olympic swimming career her father dreamed for her, the rock band she abandoned, the small choices and the enormous ones.\n\nGuided by Mrs. Elm, the school librarian who was once kind to her, Nora begins to slip between these lives, testing the shape of her regrets against the reality of the paths not taken. Each life teaches her something about the difference between the life she imagined and the one she can actually inhabit.\n\nMatt Haig's international bestseller is a warm, quietly philosophical fable about depression, regret, and the possibility of change. It asks a deceptively simple question — if you could undo every disappointment, would you? — and finds an answer in the ordinary, unglamorous business of being alive.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjx3tmgm974jvka9hzw16ny5.jpg","L99tcRt700M_00WA~ooz4UWB?]o#",2020,299,[877],{"id":878,"slug":879,"name":880},"01kjqtygnxx0defvm5knq5pt23","matt-haig-kb3p","Matt Haig",[882,886,887,888,889,890],{"id":883,"name":884,"slug":885,"is_fiction":15},30,"Time Travel","time-travel",{"id":376,"name":752,"slug":753,"is_fiction":15},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":651,"name":652,"slug":653,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":37,"name":335,"slug":336,"is_fiction":15},[892],{"id":893,"slug":894,"name":895,"position":79,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmrw8rhqwvcd38d10brnjn45","the-midnight-world-qesv","The Midnight World",{"pace":41,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":897,"themes":898,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[46,83,44],[],{"key":900,"params":901,"works":902},"genre",{"genre":25},[903,936,961,995,1028,1053],{"id":904,"slug":905,"title":906,"description":907,"primary_cover_url":908,"cover_blurhash":909,"first_publish_year":910,"community_rating_avg":911,"community_rating_count":487,"page_count":377,"authors":912,"genres":917,"series":923,"enrichment":931},"01kjr36348efxpzn9xx6j77xmc","before-the-coffee-gets-cold-uwh9","Before the Coffee Gets Cold","In a small basement café in Tokyo, there is a seat that offers something no other café can: the chance to travel back in time.

A woman confronts the man who left her; a wife tries to reach her husband before his memory fades to illness; a sister waits for a sibling she cannot forgive; a mother reaches for a child she will never get to raise. None of them can rewrite what has happened—but each discovers that revisiting a single moment can still change the heart, if not the facts.\n\nToshikazu Kawaguchi's gentle, bittersweet novel began as a stage play and has become an international bestseller. Quiet and character-driven, Before the Coffee Gets Cold is a meditation on regret, second chances, and the small comforts that let us carry our losses forward.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz49tv4w0dy4pmcpbcyfcda.jpg","L5Ma^a~V^+K*009a9a-o3WkW9ZM{",2021,"3.86",[913],{"id":914,"slug":915,"name":916},"01kjr3634czxspaqb6b84aggvy","untitled-elop","川口俊和",[918,919,920,921,922],{"id":651,"name":652,"slug":653,"is_fiction":15},{"id":883,"name":884,"slug":885,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":376,"name":752,"slug":753,"is_fiction":15},[924,928],{"id":925,"slug":926,"name":927,"position":79,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmrw94gvtnst4enxsq7j38p1","untitled-f2dj","コーヒーが冷めないうちに",{"id":929,"slug":930,"name":906,"position":79,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjr3636nd1m1j5nrbxe8szfg","before-the-coffee-gets-cold-6cur",{"pace":464,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":932,"themes":934,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[46,44,933],"cozy",[935],"time-loop",{"id":937,"slug":938,"title":939,"description":940,"primary_cover_url":941,"cover_blurhash":7,"first_publish_year":942,"community_rating_avg":943,"community_rating_count":487,"page_count":260,"authors":944,"genres":949,"series":956,"enrichment":957},"01kpae2pceanqhvyxh521v782t","yesteryear-kwx5","Yesteryear","Natalie Heller Mills has built an empire on nostalgia. To her millions of followers, she is the perfect “tradwife”: baking sourdough, raising her children on a sun-dappled ranch, and modeling a wholesome life supposedly stripped of modern excess. What the camera never shows are the nannies, the producers, and the industrial appliances humming just out of frame. Then a public scandal detonates her carefully managed image — and Natalie wakes to find herself trapped in a brutal, unforgiving version of 1855. The ranch is now a freezing cabin without plumbing or heat; the children who answer to her are strangers; and the household is ruled by an archaic, menacing version of her own family. Forced to actually live the pioneer existence she once performed for views, she tries to work out whether she is the victim of an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far stranger. Burke’s debut threads social satire through psychological suspense, using Natalie’s predicament to interrogate the performance of womanhood, the machinery behind influencer culture, and the seductive lie of “the good old days.” Sharp, claustrophobic, and darkly comic, the novel asks what is left of a person once the curated self collapses and the audience is gone.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kpae2pf0c191n2b8xat0jyn9.jpg",2026,"4.29",[945],{"id":946,"slug":947,"name":948},"01kpae2pevm0pxeghtgq1r7715","caro-claire-burke-o2yn","Caro Claire Burke",[950,951,952,953,954,955],{"id":356,"name":357,"slug":358,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":339,"name":340,"slug":341,"is_fiction":15},{"id":348,"name":349,"slug":350,"is_fiction":15},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":364,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":958,"themes":959,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[207,206],[960],"fish-out-of-water",{"id":962,"slug":963,"title":964,"description":965,"primary_cover_url":966,"cover_blurhash":967,"first_publish_year":874,"community_rating_avg":968,"community_rating_count":97,"page_count":969,"authors":970,"genres":983,"series":987,"enrichment":992},"01kk3nbn194hbgs6hr9q8yytc0","my-dark-vanessa-d1h5","My Dark Vanessa","In 2000, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye is a lonely, bookish scholarship student at a Maine boarding school when her forty-two-year-old English teacher, Jacob Strane, begins singling her out for attention. What Vanessa experiences as a secret, intoxicating love affair is, from any other angle, the grooming and abuse of a child by a man in a position of power.\n\nThe novel moves between that year and 2017, when a former student's public accusation against Strane, amplified by a growing cultural reckoning, forces the adult Vanessa to reexamine the story she has told herself for nearly two decades. Refusing easy answers, Kate Elizabeth Russell writes from deep inside Vanessa's contradictions — her insistence that she was special, that she consented, that it was love — even as the reader sees what she cannot yet let herself see.\n\nMy Dark Vanessa is a harrowing, precisely observed debut about memory, complicity, and the long afterlife of abuse.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kk3nbn62qhbgt96qhw3m8jnb.jpg","LBHx$$kCt7%M~qIT9FD%-p_3-;%M","4.83",384,[971,975,979],{"id":972,"slug":973,"name":974},"01kk3nbn38365ew0cqdmx0g464","kate-elizabeth-russell-sjez","Kate Elizabeth Russell",{"id":976,"slug":977,"name":978},"01kk3nbn3p0qnhhqr9bqn407y4","grace-gummer-jauf","Grace Gummer",{"id":980,"slug":981,"name":982},"01kk3nbn44weqk4pf5y60s69x2","russell-kate-elizab-kpjc","Russell Kate Elizab",[984,985,986],{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":339,"name":340,"slug":341,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},[988],{"id":989,"slug":990,"name":991,"position":79,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kvbwekf53we3hhhds5veawpe","standalone-daex","Standalone",{"pace":41,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":993,"themes":994,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[317,46],[291,130],{"id":996,"slug":997,"title":998,"description":999,"primary_cover_url":1000,"cover_blurhash":1001,"first_publish_year":258,"community_rating_avg":1002,"community_rating_count":356,"page_count":547,"authors":1003,"genres":1008,"series":1020,"enrichment":1025},"01kjt54yxvtkzqw8cxhbgtvksa","eleanor-oliphant-is-completely-fine-vmvb","Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine","Eleanor Oliphant has her routine down to a science: the same meal-deal lunch, the same crossword, the same bottles of vodka to get her through the weekend, and a Wednesday phone call with Mummy that she dreads. She has no friends, doesn't understand social cues she considers unnecessary, and has convinced herself she's perfectly fine.\n\nThat carefully maintained isolation starts to give when she and Raymond, the scruffy IT technician from her office, help an elderly man who collapses on the pavement in front of them. Their unlikely friendship — along with a harmless celebrity crush that spirals into something more serious — begins pulling Eleanor toward people for the first time in years.\n\nBeneath the deadpan humor of Eleanor's narration is a slower reveal of real trauma: a childhood defined by an abusive, manipulative mother and a fire that changed everything. Gail Honeyman's debut is a comic novel that turns, without much warning, into a serious one — about what loneliness does to a person, and what it takes to let someone in.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjt54yxvtkzqw8cxhbgtvksa.jpg","LsIrQenOHDXT^MaeI=W=V@R,oJbH","4.60",[1004],{"id":1005,"slug":1006,"name":1007},"01kjt54z27as7q24j19qyynqsw","gail-honeyman-eesm","Gail Honeyman",[1009,1010,1011,1012,1013,1014,1015,1019],{"id":240,"name":241,"slug":242,"is_fiction":15},{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":15},{"id":228,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":15},{"id":352,"name":353,"slug":354,"is_fiction":15},{"id":1016,"name":1017,"slug":1018,"is_fiction":15},120,"Comic Fiction","comic-fiction",{"id":280,"name":281,"slug":282,"is_fiction":15},[1021],{"id":1022,"slug":1023,"name":1024,"position":79,"is_main_entry":15,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kve2ehts0fz65kq9xe6bwjad","eleanor-oliphant-h7nm","Eleanor Oliphant",{"pace":41,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":1026,"themes":1027,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[206,44,45],[729],{"id":1029,"slug":1030,"title":1031,"description":1032,"primary_cover_url":1033,"cover_blurhash":1034,"first_publish_year":1035,"community_rating_avg":216,"community_rating_count":228,"page_count":260,"authors":1036,"genres":1041,"series":1047,"enrichment":1048},"01kk3njwpgt3jsg5sbykcck78y","happy-place-ahiq","Happy Place","For eight years, Harriet and Wyn were the couple everyone else measured themselves against — until, quietly, they weren't. Five months after their engagement fell apart, they still haven't told a soul. So when their tight-knit college friend group gathers for its annual week at the beloved cottage in Maine, Harriet and Wyn do the only thing that seems less painful than the truth: they pretend nothing has changed.\n\nThat means sharing a room, sharing a bed, and performing a relationship they no longer have — all while the friends around them nurse secrets of their own, and the cottage that anchors every summer is quietly slipping out of reach. A surgical resident who avoids conflict at all costs, Harriet finds a week of forced proximity with the man she still loves almost unbearable, and slowly the reasons they broke up start to surface.\n\nTold across the golden week in Maine and the years that led to it, Happy Place is a tender, bittersweet romance about the difference between loving someone and being right for them — and about whether a second chance is worth the honesty it demands.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kk3njwsprqrbs09qbht6hgjb.jpg","LISUVW$,y]$y?docRjR:I-Rkpcxs",2023,[1037],{"id":1038,"slug":1039,"name":1040},"01kjq72m1v3y3x6my265z0bz7n","emily-henry-7uit","Emily Henry",[1042,1043,1044,1045,1046],{"id":240,"name":241,"slug":242,"is_fiction":15},{"id":408,"name":409,"slug":410,"is_fiction":15},{"id":228,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":280,"name":281,"slug":282,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":41,"complexity":7,"audience":42,"mood":1049,"themes":1051,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[44,1050,388],"romantic",[1052,425,570],"fake-dating",{"id":1054,"slug":1055,"title":1056,"description":1057,"primary_cover_url":1058,"cover_blurhash":1059,"first_publish_year":1060,"community_rating_avg":1061,"community_rating_count":228,"page_count":1062,"authors":1063,"genres":1068,"series":1074,"enrichment":1075},"01kjy9cwvd29bta06dcykmskpv","remarkably-bright-creatures-chro","Remarkably Bright Creatures","Tova Sullivan is in her seventies, widowed, and still shadowed by the disappearance of her teenage son Erik, who vanished from a Puget Sound town thirty years ago and was presumed drowned.
