June 2020 - Ballito Umhlanga

Physics genius Caro Kerber-Murphy knows she’s smart. With straight As and a college scholarship already in the bag, she’s
meeting her two dads’ colossal expectations and then some. But there’s one test she’s never quite been able to ace. Love.
Then, in a particularly desperate moment, Caro discovers a (definitely questionable) scientific breakthrough that promises
to make you irresistible to everyone around you. Could this, she wonders, be the key? What happens next will change
everything Caro thought she knew about chemistry – in the lab and in love. By Comedy Women in Print prize-winner Laura
Steven, The Love Hypothesis is a LGBT romantic comedy with a twist. R140 • Twenty years ago, Abigail Sorenson’s brother,
Robert, went missing one day before her sixteenth birthday, never to be seen again. That same year, she began receiving
scattered chapters in the mail from a mysterious guidebook, whose anonymous authors promised to make her life soar
to heights beyond her wildest dreams. Now, two decades after receiving those first pages, Abi is invited to learn ‘the truth’
about the book. It’s an opportunity too intriguing to refuse. What follows in Jaclyn Moriarty’s Gravity Is The Thing is an
entirely unexpected journey of discovery that will change Abi’s life. R330 • Beautiful, rich and popular, Anna K lives and plays
in the dizzying heights of New York’s Upper East Side, where privilege, partying and scandal rule. Anna knows every rule
by heart – and takes care to maintain her status as the perfect girlfriend, daughter and student. Then a chance encounter
at Grand Central station with notorious playboy Alexi ‘Count’ Vronsky changes everything. Anna knows she needs to
avoid Alexi, but sometimes fate has other plans. Soon Anna finds it impossible to resist him, and finds herself willing to risk
everything she has to be with him – no matter the consequences. A lovely new read by Jenny Lee. R175.
