Alone with Other People

“What Gabby Bess captures with her words is the beauty of a fragile time and place. In this collection, she evokes what it means to be young, to be a woman, to have both feet firmly planted both in this world and the virtual. She asks fascinating questions like, ‘Is anyone moved by the plainness of raw skin anymore?’ She makes you trust she has the necessary answers with intelligence and confidence. In this book, Bess builds an identity for herself and tears it down and builds herself anew. It is breathtaking to behold.” –Roxane Gay, author of An Untamed State and Bad Feminist

Ink My Heart

Even if he wasn’t the lead singer of the insanely popular college band Luminescent Juliet, Justin Noel wouldn’t have to work at picking up women. It only takes one flash of his dimples to make ladies swoon. And they do—nightly. Which is perfect because Justin doesn’t have any interest in a relationship that might last longer than sunrise.For tattoo artist Allie Landon, guys like Justin are a joke. Since her ex broke her heart, Allie rarely dates, and she wouldn’t be caught dead with a bad-boy type like Justin. But when her ex unexpectedly shows up, desperation forces Allie to introduce Justin as her boyfriend. Justin’s more than happy to play along—after all, who wouldn’t want to be with Allie? She’s hot and she can ink a killer tattoo. When playing along starts to mean something more to Justin, he discovers that Allie exposes emotional depths within his soul that he didn’t know he had. But Allie’s life isn’t what it seems, and there’s little room in her shattered and confused heart to let Justin in. As Justin grapples with an increasing need to have her in his life, Allie finds that ignoring the growing attraction—both physical and emotional—between them is becoming more difficult than tattoo removal.
