Happy publication day to THE LIFESTYLE by debut author, @taylorsheahahn 🥳🍍🗽❤️ ✨ This heartfelt and hilarious novel about swinging, marriage, and the complexities of the heart is the perfect summer read! Here is a fun Q&A we did with Taylor to learn more behind the scenes on this addictive, outrageously fun book.

🍍What inspired you to write The Lifestyle?
I wanted to tel the story of a woman exploring what she really wants, both in the bedroom and outside of it, with zero shame portrayed around that. It’s a very sec positive novel in which the characters support each other, physically and emotionally, in having new experiences.

🍍What kind of research did you do for your book?
I integrated both analytical, professional articles on the lifestyle from marriage counselors and first hand accounts from people in the lifestyle writing about their experiences and giving advice to others who are interested in trying it out. I also googled every iteration of “rules for swingers” and “best sex clubs in nyc” you can possibly imagine 😉.

The Lifestyle is available now! (link in bio)

“Nada Alic is one of the funniest writers I’ve read in a long time, but she also writes extremely well about the melancholic, detached, and disillusioned aspects of her characters. These stories find beauty in the absurd and poignancy in the mundane which feels just right for the time we’re living in. BAD THOUGHTS is a very special, memorable book that I’ll be thinking about for a long time.” — Chelsea Hodson, author of Tonight I’m Someone Else

We couldn’t agree more about the essence of this short story collection! Exhilarating, delightful, and executed with comedic precision, we can’t wait for readers to have this debut collection and explore the most surreal and inadmissible fantasies of contemporary women.

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere! We are enjoying a glass on national mimosas day, basking in the warm almost-summer air, and reading a copy of our irreverent and charming collection, TACKY by Rax King!

TACKY is about the power of pop culture — exploring the 2000s in the ages of Hot Topic, Creed, and frosted lip gloss — and like any art, it imprints itself on our lives and shapes our experiences, no matter one’s commitment to “good” taste. While we might not be ready to bring back the trending, low rise jeans in our closets for nostalgic purposes, these 14 essays are a nostalgia-soaked antidote to the millennials generation’s obsession with irony and for anyone who loves to indulge in the Y2K aesthetic.

What’s something you can appreciate now about the 2000s 🙋‍♀️?

Bud Smith's Teenager — Washington Square Review

"Bud Smith’s prose made the world around me feel ethereal for a brief moment in time." —Blake Levario, Washington Square Review https://bit.ly/3wgFxfu

Teenager, Bud Smith's landscape of America, reviewed by Blake Levario.

05/10/2022

Happy publication day to TEENAGER by Bud Smith; a story that follows two teenagers, in love and insane, journey across the United States. A wrapped American dream, Elvis is still king, and the corn down is the backbone of the country. You don’t want to miss this stunning release!

As Lit Hub’s most anticipated book of the year, here are additional stellar reviews from across media:

🎠“One hell of a coming-of-age story. Smith has perfectly capture what it’s like to be young, carefree, and making slightly stupid decisions along the way… you’ll stay up reading in one binge.” — debutiful

🚗“TEENAGER is the sort of offbeat love story that proves Bud Smith can sit comfortably beside Denis Johnson as a poet laureate of rundown carnivals and dimly lit bars.” — Chicago Review of Books

🗺“A whirlwind journey through a mythic America…” — Kirkus Reviews

🦋“Evokes the surreal congrats of the American Landscape in smart, jittery prose. Smith makes this trip worth taking.” — Publishers Weekly

👩‍❤️‍👨“Hard to put down.” — Booklist

❤️‍🔥“We can use more writers like Bud Smith: TEENAGER is a lovestruck, cross-country road-trip novel following a couple of ill-started delinquents on the run from the olds; and though we have plenty of novels that tell that story, this is the only one we have from Bud Smith. And that’s good.” — Jonny Diamond, Literary Hub

Who’s ready to go on a Bonnie and Clyde-like adventure?
