An offbeat, wryly funny debut that follows eccentric product engineer Ava as she becomes drawn to her startlingly charismatic new boss - who seems determined to get close to her at all costs...

Ava Simon designs storage boxes for STÄDA, a slick Brooklyn-based furniture company. She's hard-working, obsessive and heartbroken from a tragedy that killed her girlfriend and upended her life. It's been years since she's let anyone in.

But when Ava's new boss - the young and magnetic Mat Putnam - offers Ava a ride home one afternoon, an unlikely relationship blossoms. Ava remembers how rewarding it canbe to open up - and, despite her hesitancy, she starts to fall for him. But what if Mat isn't who he claims to be?

The Very Nice Box is a darkly comic and suspenseful novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat until its gripping finale. It's at once a satire of toxic masculinity and a big-hearted account of grief, friendship and trust.

Eve Gleichman and Laura Blackett

Blurb:

 

It started with a piano.

A beautiful duet played through the wall of my new apartment in Rome with a neighbor I'd never seen.

Intimate, enthralling, I was fascinated long before I met Simone.

His music moves across my skin in a gentle caress each night. The passion and fury of his concerto gliding over the contours of my body.

But the sweetness of the melody between us holds a deeper, darker, turbulent note. His harmony consumes both my spirit and my mind. Our song is full of heartache that has been playing long before our meeting.

Simone isn't what he seems.

I'm losing my soul to his music and I'm frightened what will happen when I plunge over the edge.

 “It's haunting, it's all consuming, it's beautiful, it's dark and toxic. It's nothing like I have read before and it grabbed me by my throat and sucked me in completely. So yes, my first 5 star read of the year and one I won't forget about.” – NicolereadsMM

About the Book:

A transgender ant feels frustrated because her body looks red, but she dreams of being indigo-colored instead. A cisgender turtle wants to try to jump so high she touches the sky.

When they meet, the ant is torn between revealing her true identity and staying safe, so she introduces herself as Can’t the red ant. The turtle is full of enthusiasm and encouragement, but the ant remains skeptical. Woven with lessons learned from the non-binary grasshopper, will the turtle ever get the ant to jump? Will the ant find the courage to reveal her true self? 

This first book of the “Gender Rainbow” series is a two-part rhyming story filled with lessons in friendship and an I CAN attitude.
