GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT by Imogen Crimp
9781250792792 | 7/21/26
In the midst of an unrelenting heat wave, up-and-coming filmmaker Ruby arrives at the summer home of her idol. Ellen, an iconoclastic feminist director known for mentoring other women, has offered Ruby a room of her own while she finishes her screenplay. Pitching Ruby as the next big thing, producers are clamoring for a “female story” mined from her past, and the deadline is fast approaching.
When Ruby arrives in the countryside, Ellen’s house emerges like something out of a dream—grand and imposing, surrounded by sprawling gardens and a shimmering swimming pool. But tension thrums beneath the picture-perfect surface. Ellen’s reputation is under fire after she’s accused of appropriating a story that wasn’t hers to tell. Meanwhile, Ellen’s mercurial daughter, Lara, lounges by the pool under the blistering sun, drawing her mother’s latest houseguest toward her like a moth to a flame.
As her aspirational summer of artistic retreat unravels, Ruby finds herself entangled in an all-consuming relationship, waiting for the heat to break. Even the house itself begins to feel haunted, and Ruby has the unnerving sensation that she’s not the first promising young woman to fall under its spell.
Hot to the touch, Imogen Crimp’s GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT is a spellbinding fever dream of a novel, exploring the dark corners of ambition, exploitation, and what it takes to be a woman artist.
LONG ISLAND GIRLS by Gabrielle Korn
9781250432223 | 6/23/26
The only thing Susan loves more than music is Eliza, and both keep breaking her heart.
The first time Susan and Eliza meet, it’s 2005, and Susan is barreling down the Long Island Expressway to an indie rock show. Eliza is a surprise addition to the backseat of friends, and she doesn’t quite fit in; she’s a little too pretty, and she doesn’t know anything about music, but Susan is drawn to her anyway. Their sparks lead to combustion when Susan recognizes Eliza as the girl from a nude photo boys have been sending around. They part ways, and Susan assumes that’s the end of it. She goes off to college and on to a career in Brooklyn’s indie music scene, where she navigates a toxic job at a small record label.
In 2015, in her twenties, Susan has a chance run-in with Eliza on a dating app, and they finally start a relationship. But Eliza is plagued by her traumatic past, which involves people Susan is still involved with, and everything falls apart again. Over the next few years, Susan’s career takes off and she meets someone new who might actually be good for her. Yet she can’t stop thinking about Eliza. What might have been, had things gone differently?
At once a hilarious-yet-tender coming of age story; a steamy, complicated romance; and an authentic celebration of queer joy, LONG ISLAND GIRLS is for anyone who has ever struggled to stop getting caught up in “what-ifs” and start appreciating what is.

Max Kitson is a world-renowned pianist, and his twin sister, Natasha, is his manager and minder. But when, in 1957, at age twenty, the former prodigy begins making uncharacteristic mistakes, he abruptly cancels his latest world tour. Without consulting Natasha, Max arranges to stay in the home of an enigmatic French patron, never realizing that Henri has been his sister’s lover.
Over the course of one summer, Natasha’s longsimmering resentments and Max’s deep insecurities drive the siblings apart as they vie for Henri’s attentions. But neither twin can have their host entirely to themselves, because while during the day Henri woos Natasha with lavish gifts and trips to the ballet, it’s Max’s music that draws Henri from bed each night.
Gorgeously and grippingly written, CRESCENDO is an unforgettable escape with the pacing of a thriller and the depths of a family saga.
LIBERTY ISLAND by Virginia Hume
9781250285645 | 5/5/26
1900: Twenty-eight-year-old Anna Bradley is spending the summer on a rugged island off the coast of Haven Point, Maine, supervising her niece, Julia Demarest, and two other spirited girls. As the children race through the woods playing pirates, treasure hunters, and Roughriders, Anna—an ambitious college graduate determined to chart her own path—finds unexpected inspiration.
She secretly pens Liberty Island, a bold, imaginative novel celebrating girls unbound by the expectations of marriage and motherhood. The book becomes a runaway hit with young readers, but draws scorn from the social elite, who see it as dangerous and unbecoming. As the book’s popularity grows and Anna’s carefully kept secret teeters on the edge of exposure, she must also navigate a burgeoning romance—and reconsider everything she thought she wanted for her future.
1922: Julia Demarest, now twenty-nine, was once enchanted by her aunt’s bestselling books. But times have changed—and so has she. Disillusioned by the restrictions of her privileged upbringing and disenchanted by a failed romance with a bohemian intellectual, Julia finds herself adrift and estranged from her family. When a sudden call brings her back to Haven Point, she must reckon with the ghosts of her past, the ideals she once dismissed, and what freedom truly means to her.
Rich with heart and history, LIBERTY ISLAND is an unforgettable story of love, legacy, and belonging.
ENORMOUS WINGS by Laurie Frankel
9781250423771 | 5/5/26
At seventy-seven, Pepper Mills is too old to be a stranger in a strange land. She didn’t choose the Vista View Retirement Community of Austin, Texas—that would be her three grown children—but when she grudgingly moves in, she not only makes new friends, she falls in love. Then the exhaustion, vomiting, and confusion start. She fears it’s cancer, dementia, a stroke. But a raft of tests later, the news is even more shocking: She’s pregnant.
As word gets out, everyone wants a piece of her: the press and paparazzi, activists and medical researchers, belly-rubbers and rubber-neckers all descending on Vista View while Pepper struggles to determine her next move. Soon she has some hard decisions to make—and some she’s not allowed to make.
ENORMOUS WINGS is an urgent novel about female agency and bodily autonomy, morality and mortality. It’s about what happens when you don’t get to choose anymore. It’s about motherhood and family, sex and love and friendship, and how those bedrocks—even so late in the day—can still change, and then change everything.
