I Tried To Sell The Bookstore. The Lesbians Rioted
by Hannah Ng
She inherited a bookstore. She planned to sell it. The lesbians had other ideas. Emily Carter arrives in a small town with one goal: sell the bookstore she inherited and leave before anyone notices she's falling apart. Unfortunately, the bookstore has other plans. So do the locals. Especially Charlotte Hayes-the charming coffee shop owner who seems determined to interfere with every sensible decision Emily makes. Between mysterious bookkeeping records, an overprotective community, a suspiciously intelligent cat named Virginia Woof, and a self-appointed Lesbian Emergency Committee, Emily's straightforward exit strategy quickly turns into a public spectacle. As secrets surrounding the bookstore begin to surface, Emily finds herself forced to choose between the future she planned and the life she never expected to want. A laugh-out-loud sapphic romantic comedy filled with small-town chaos, found family, witty banter, bookstore vibes, and slow-burn lesbian romance.
