The Love Variations

Produced by: Penguin Random House

Dual Narration Romance

Goldie Gensler has always dreamed of becoming a concert pianist like her parents, but after a devastating multiple sclerosis diagnosis, winning the world’s most prestigious piano competition in Stockholm feels more urgent than ever. Her biggest rival is Jamie Larson, a technically brilliant musician from small-town Iowa who resents Goldie’s seemingly effortless path into the elite music world. While Jamie believes discipline and precision define greatness, Goldie’s emotionally raw performances challenge everything he values. But when the two are unexpectedly forced to live and practice together over the holidays, their rivalry begins to turn into something far more complicated.

Review: Don’t Let the Forest In

June 30, 2026

3/5

While I ultimately didn't find the plot to be as satisfying as I'd hoped, that doesn't mean this book is without its merit. Author C.G. Drews is a talented writer and despite losing interest in the story here and there, I always found the prose to be poetic and strong. Notably, their descriptions of the forest and its elements really stood out. Every time it crept off the pages and came to life in a way that felt like you could feel, smell, and taste it. Conversely, their monsters were a bit lackluster. Easily defeated and never present long enough to sustain the tension. I would have preferred them to be more haunting and for there to be more consequence to their existence.

I Can Save Myself

June 21, 2026

As a kid, I loved anything that gave me a supernaturally gifted hero—the X-Men, the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Transformers, Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, you name it. If it existed on television, in a comic book, or as an action figure, I was all about it.

The Things I Carry

June 20, 2026

It's a gloomy Tuesday morning in New York City and I've just come from the first physical appointment I've had since before entering my freshman year of college. And what troubles me is not the bandaid taped to the inside of my elbow, but a question the doctor asked that is still rattling around my head. In determining my sexual identity to assess risk factors, he asked,"Are you heterosexual? Bisexual? Homosexual?"
