Check out the cover reveal for THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, aminahmae's novel about teens trying to save an indie bookstore! You can read chapter 1 here:
Daniella pulled up to the parking lot of Wild Nights Bookstore and Emporium with her music as loud as she could possibly take at eight in the morning.It hadn’t helped that she had gotten a message from Eli the night before while she was out, and, in the aftermath, had gone from sociably drinking to basically annihilated by tequila.She parked on a street that was three blocks back from the store, because she liked that walk from her car to the door.
The satchel came to an abrupt stop against Daniella’s hip, but she wasn’t thrown off balance by it. The thwack against her leg was grounding, if anything. She was here, in this body, in this incomprehensible life. Summers were different, though. They always had been. So much more time to fill. So much more creativity required to get out of the house and stay out.
The spins overtook Daniella for a moment. She reached out, steadying herself on a nearby parked car. It took two counts for the spinning to stop again. Daniella reached back into her bag and mercifully found the store keys, despite the fact that her sunglasses blocked her ability to see any real depth into her purse. She’d been searching by feel and had grabbed at her notebook more times than she cared to in a public setting.
She liked old language and old forms. Purple prose, that’s what her English teacher had called it. And she certainly didn’t want to write poetry that could one day be studied in school and picked apart and dissected like a dead frog in a science lab.The bell jangled again, reminding Daniella which plane of reality she needed to be on right now.
