Heir of Twisted Lies

Will Schwalbe

By the time Will Schwalbe was a junior at college, he had already met everyone he cared to know. He also knew exactly whom he wanted to avoid: the jocks. The jocks wore backwards baseball caps and moved in packs, filling boisterous tables in the dining hall, and on the whole seemed to Will another species, one he might encounter only at his own peril. 
 
All this dramatically changed when he collided with Chris Maxey, known to just about everyone as Maxey. Maxey was physically imposing, loud, a star wrestler-and under the strangely liberating circumstances of a little-known secret society at Yale, the two forged a bond that has remained a mainstay of their lives for forty years and counting. 
 
We Should Not be Friends tracks an extraordinary friendship over decades of challenge and change. Will Schwalbe's marvellous new work is a testament to the miracle of human connection and to all we have to gain when we let go of first impressions and see one another for who we truly are.

Then Ray lets slip his new philosophy to the group and it soon becomes clear that he&rsquo;s not the only one with murder in mind &hellip;

Everybody knows that Cherry's husband is in Hollywood making a movie ... Almost nobody knows that he isn't coming home. 
 
Tom's the creator of Thursday, a comic strip that's become an international phenomenon. It's semi-autobiographical, which unfortunately means there's a character based on Cherry ... "Baby." 
 
Wide-hipped, double-chinned Baby. 
 
Cherry never wanted this. No fat girl wants to see herself caricatured on the page -- let alone the big screen. But there's no getting away from it. Baby looks so much like Cherry, strangers recognize her at the store. 
 
While Tom's in L.A., getting rich and famous and being the Internet's latest boyfriend, Cherry's stuck taking care of the dog he always wanted and the house they were going to raise a family in -- and wondering who she's supposed to be without him. 
 
Until the night Cherry ventures out to see her favourite band play, and someone recognizes her from across the room. 
 
Russ Sutton knew Cherry when she was a young art student with a fondness for pin-up dresses and patent leather heels. 
 
Russ knows Cherry. He likes Cherry. 
 
And best of all ... he's never heard of Thursday. 
 
Told with deep tenderness and shot through with Rowell's signature wit, Cherry Baby is a second-chance romance for grown-ups. For people who understand how rare it is to get even one chance at love, and how impossible -- and impossibly wonderful -- it can feel to make it work.
