Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn’t even begun . . . Franny meets Hayes in the opposite of a meet-cute – when her dress gets caught in the subway doors on her way home and then rips, leaving her in the fashion equivalent of a hospital gown. Hayes is the stuffy suit whose one redeeming quality is giving Franny his jacket, saving her from showing her assets to half of New York. Franny is eager to forget the whole horribly embarrassing encounter as soon as possible, but neither of them anticipated a fellow commuter live-blogging them as #subwaybaes – turning their awkward run-in into click-bait and a manufactured love story for the ages . . . Quick to dismiss Hayes as just another a rich guy, Franny is sure she’ll never see him again, and she’s desperate to put her three minutes of viral fame behind her. But fate isn’t done with the would-be subway sweethearts just yet . . . A love letter to romance, friendship and the Big Apple, In a New York Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic comedy for fans of The Flat Share, Our Stop and One Day in December.

Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks readers through her experience of stumbling through grief and loss, and helps them to get through it, too. This isn't a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, up-front look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side. An empathetic read, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: both men and women readers who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for readers (like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one).

Francesca Doyle está seminua numa das linhas de metro mais movimentadas de Nova Iorque. Ah, e acabou de perder o emprego. E não, não é um pesadelo. É mesmo realidade. Pode dizer-se que está a ter a pior manhã da sua vida. Até que um atraente estranho a salva ao dar-lhe um casaco Gucci para se tapar e tentar recuperar alguma dignidade. É sem dúvida um gesto bonito mas ela só quer esquecer a humilhação e seguir em frente com a sua vida. Mas alguém posta o momento na internet, e de repente Franny e o “Sexy de Fato” são sensações virais. Parece que toda a cidade está a torcer para que aquele encontro digno de comédia romântica se transforme em amor verdadeiro. Todos exceto o suposto casal. Franny e Hayes não podiam ser uma combinação mais desastrosa. Ela é extravagante, tagarela e criativa. Ele é sério, tímido e vive para os números. No entanto, Nova Iorque parece não conseguir mantê-los afastados. Quando um encontro de sexta-feira à noite os leva a passarem quarenta e oito horas juntos, Franny e Hayes arriscam e deixam todos os sentimentos platónicos para trás. Só que o mundo de Franny está prestes a ser virado do avesso (outra vez!). Conseguirá ela encontrar a coragem para confiar em si e finalmente ter a vida – e o amor – que sempre quis?
