Remy is lucky. Her debut novel, based on her three best friends, became an instant bestseller when it was released, and her agent and publisher are clamoring for a follow-up. But just as Remy’s creative inspiration seems to leave her, so too do her friends: one moves to New York, one gets pregnant, and one gets back together with her (awful) boyfriend. After an ill-advised one-night stand complicates matters further, Remy is left deeply alone—and unable to find her next book idea.

Three years ago, I had one unforgettable weekend with a man who made me forget every rule I'd ever followed. Then he ghosted me like it never happened. Fast forward to now—he's standing in front of the faculty at Hardwood High, all smug and suited up, introducing himself as our new assistant principal. Every time he walks into my classroom, opens his mouth in a meeting, or so much as breathes in my direction, I have to remind myself I like my job too much to cuss him out.

Buddy Mack has been caught in the middle of two worlds at war. As an English teacher at a South Side, Chicago, high school lauded for its football team, but at risk in every other way, he tries to instill a love of literature.

She's reeling from what should have been heartbreak and he's barely hanging on. Two people from the same city with different circumstances collide. Less of a collision—more of her crashing and burning while he's there to force his way in like a fixer. Cova wasn't looking for anything, not a man nor a friend. You know what they say though . . . what you're not looking for, you'll surely find. As she sat in a lounge—a few glasses in, reeling from an eventful night—he pops in. At first glance she knows who he is, and that she should stay away from him, but can she?

We're in East Harlem, in the mid-eighties, and the large and formidable (some say crazy woman) Twin Johnson discovers the body of Anita's boy, Tyrone, on the sidewalk. She does just what her uncle, who runs his basement crack den as a family business, warned her never to do: she calls the police, setting in motion a cycle of events that expand the consciousness of this struggling community. Anita, a postal worker, army widow, and church lady, is determined to solve her son's murder, but her quest for justice rattles the neighborhood.

Since the dawn of time, punctuality has been a scam. You rush to get ready for an event, only to discover that your pants have a hole in them, there’s a chance of rain, and the train is skipping your stop, so now the fastest method is a $100 rideshare to go 2 miles. And for what? To arrive “on time” rather than “whenever I want”? Enough is enough. In Colored People Time, Manny Fidel bravely confronts this injustice head-on, arguing that until America reaches genuine racial equity, people of color are allowed—nay, encouraged—to be late to anything they want.
