Green Dot is a 2024 book by Madeleine Gray. If you have been looking for something original that you can pack along with you to read at home or while waiting for an appointment, let yourself get swept away with this unique story that is a messy love story that is all about the terrible allure that comes with wanting something even though you are aware that it promises nothing.

Hera is a 24 year old young woman and feels like she is just a bunch of unmet potential at the end of the day. She considers the future, but to her thinking about it is just like a tiring thought exercise where you consider one very depressing hypothetical after another.

She is very quick in many ways but often finds herself lost in her own smug malaise. But things are about to change where she gets a new job where she works moderating the comments section of an online news outlet. It is even more boring and mind-numbingly dull than it sounds. However, it does have the perk of introducing her to Arthur, a journalist who is middle aged.

Hera has preferred women over men for many years now, but she finds that she is quickly moving into an affair with him that is passionate and even all-consuming. She feels desire deep in every pore and she is enjoying every single second. There’s only the small problem in that Arthur has a wife, and she happens to have no awareness that Hera is even part of the picture.

Green Dot takes classic stories and turns them into something all new in a specific voice that readers will not be able to help but love! Funny in so many ways, this is a deeply felt exploration of the indignities and joys that come with entering into adulthood, contending with the many pitfalls that the 21st century has to offer and showing the journey that can happen that we take on in an attempt to decide who we are as well as who we want to be.

Chosen Family is a 2026 book by Madeleine Gray. If you love books that feature characters that are part of the LGBTQIA+ world, then this may be the book for you.

This is a story that is about both friendship and love. Nell was 12 years old when she started thinking about her life, and she came to accept that her life would likely be without friends. She thinks that this is because she doesn’t really have an interest in makeup, or boys, and she isn’t all about dieting and competing with others to see how they can be the best at it. It only stands to reason that she was just going to go through life without a friend.

Everything stands to change when a new girl comes to the school in a major way. The new girl is Eve, and she is her own person. She has hair worn in a short style like a boy would. She also has a great sense of humor as well as a strong sense of confidence that no matter what, she will be able to find a place in the world.

From the moment that the two of them meet, Nell has hope that her situation can change. Maybe she doesn’t have to be condemned to an existence without friends, something that she thought was pretty much set in stone.

As Nell and Eve get to know each other and grow into who they are, they will find that they love each other and also hurt each other. It all happens through the passage of adolescence, long nights in share houses and gay bars, and moving on to parenthood with all of its highs and lows. Despite it all, the pair will continue to choose each other in every way as friends, family and lovers. An inspiring story that is the perfect selection if you’re looking for something heartwarming and sweet.
