It was August, and the "Blue Moon" had come around - a phenomenon wherein two full moons appear in the same month. As a seventeen-year-old, I found myself in Arashiyama, Kyoto, at my grandmother's house for a somber funeral. It was on this solemn occasion that a peculiar encounter awaited me. Under the radiant light of the first full moon, I stumbled upon a mysterious sight. There before me was a young girl, gracefully using an umbrella to scoop water from a spring, her actions illuminated by the moon's ethereal glow. She said, "I'll be here until the Blue Moon ends," and despite our same ages, she had a mysterious aura about her, as if hiding a great secret. That secret was that “I've been waiting for you in the future." This is a love story stretching across time and space, depicting two people bound by fate.

Two girls embark on a summer of montage-worthy dates (with a few strings attached) in this hilarious and heartfelt lesbian rom-com that’s perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han. Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn’t looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of. Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall—no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters have fallen in love...for real. Ciara Smyth’s debut is a delightful, multilayered YA rom-com that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love.

The Four Seasons of Love is the final installment in the Words and Graphics concept series that tells a coming-of-age story—of an adult who unexpectedly becomes a dad and then reverts to a childlike state of being. Growing into manhood, rather, a responsible father, after his childish journey causes him to lose a life—the four seasons that we all must endure reveal why all the colorful loves that entered this man-child’s life triggered the fallout between him and his one pure love, his daughter. With the mix use of different forms of writing that include poems, short stories and simple observations, in addition to its provocative images, The Four Seasons of Love is a fitting end to the series, yet it also stands alone, as the best and most compelling of introductions. "A powerful and brutally honest look at the impact of drugs and alcohol on the psyche of one's mind and life, Words and Graphics: The Four Seasons of Love is a must-read for anyone who enjoys experimental storytelling and creative narrative styles. ... The Four Seasons of Love was a rewarding experience for me, and I highly recommend it." --Readers' Favorite, 5 Stars "... an original and emotive expression of love through the changing seasons." --SPR, ★★★★
