19-year-old Jane, newly-single, moves to London to work for her friend, Kitty. But Kitty is hiding something about the café - and about Jane and Kitty's past.
*****
If you looked at her Instagram, you'd think Jane had the perfect life. But a family tragedy and a big break up shatters that illusion, prompting Jane to drop out of university and move to London. She gets a room above a bookstore and a job as a barista, thanks to her childhood friend Kitty. Struggling with feelings of loneliness among the happy staff, Jane feels further ostracized when Kitty refuses to discuss Matt, who used to live in the bedroom Jane took over and who left under mysterious circumstances. As Jane struggles to find herself, and get the attention of the cute bartender, Harper, she discovers that the Brew Books café is brewing with dark secrets.

Her Hands, My Home
At nineteen, all she knows is chaos-broken nights, heavy thoughts, and the feeling of being lost in a world that demands too much. Love was never something she believed she deserved... until she met her. She's twenty-four, steady where the younger girl is restless, and gentle where the world has been cruel. What starts as a spark of comfort turns into something undeniable-something neither of them expected, but both of them need. Between late-night talks, stolen glances, and the quiet safety of a touch that feels like home, they find themselves crossing lines that once felt impossible. But with years, fears, and the weight of judgment standing in their way, they'll have to fight not just for each other, but for the right to love at all. Sometimes home isn't a place. Sometimes it's the hands that finally hold you without letting go.

Things to Consider when Reading: This book as of February 2023 has gone under major editing since it was first written beginning 2017. I will not be editing it further, but in no means do I think it's perfect or no longer cringey, I just need to leave it be before I end up changing the whole plot. This book was written when I was in year 10/Freshman in High school. It's cringey, I wanted to be edgy. I'm so genuinely embarrassed by it that I can't bring myself to read the comments past the first few chapters. Don't judge, be kind to my young, edgy, emo self.Complete

As he does every year, Noah Baker plans to submit an original work for his literature project and, along with it, his dreams of becoming an author. Born in an old-fashioned village on the basis of hearsay, Noah has learned to adapt and live under the expectations of others, trying not to draw attention to himself, but when inspiration leaves him, he is forced to seek it out. He ends up ignoring his best friend's order and goes to Fennie's new library. There he meets Agatha, the peculiar owner of a private book collection. She agrees to give him a place for him as long as he abides by her rules: to limit himself to writing only in her library using his old typewriter and, most importantly, never to go up to the second floor. Between tea and glances Agatha leads him to question his friendships, his repressed personality and his sexuality. She shakes off the labels that cover his eyes and teaches him feelings he never imagined he would feel. From that day on, his plan takes a back seat along with the life he thought he knew. He realizes that he is not the problem and that he is no longer willing to continue trying to conform to the people. Noah begins to rebel and raise his voice, unearthing rumors unearthing rumors that not even Fennie dared to whisper.Complete
