But when she discovers her high school bully, Haven, has landed a major book deal and will be debuting alongside her, old wounds reopen. As the pandemic forces everyone online, tensions escalate in their writing community. While Haven seems to succeed effortlessly, Fern watches her own career crumble. Yet beneath their polished personas lies a darker truth about their shared past--one involving a lost friend, Dani, and secrets neither wants revealed. Fern isn't the same person Haven bullied all those years ago. She's learned that the best revenge stories aren't written--they're lived. And she's been plotting this one for years.

Seeing herself in her teenage granddaughter's struggles with identity and acceptance, Magnolia Chen tells Izzy her own story, of how as a teen she was sent by her Indo-Chinese parents from Jakarta to Los Angeles for her education and fell in love with someone completely forbidden to her by both culture and gender norms--Ellery, an American college student who became Magnolia's best friend and the love of her life.

So when her father unexpectedly falls ill in the middle of a critical acquisition, she is determined to see it through. There's just one hitch: the family company in question is known for its ultra masculine whiskey brand, and the brood of old-fashioned aunts, uncles, and cousins who run it--lead by the dedicated but overworked Shang--will only trust Mulan's father, Fa Zhou, with the future of their business. Rather than fail the deal and her father, Mulan pretends she's Fa Zhou. Since they've only corresponded over email, how hard could it be to keep things moving in his absence? But the email leads to a face-to-face meeting, which leads to an invitation to a week long retreat at Shang's family ranch. One meeting she can handle, but a whole week of cattle wrangling, axe-throwing, and learning proper butchering techniques, all while trying to convince Shang's dubious family that this young woman is the powerful private equity CEO they've been negotiating with? Not so much--especially as she finds it harder and harder to ignore the undeniable spark between her and Shang. Can she keep her head in the game and make her father proud, all while trying not to fall into a trough, or in love with Shang?]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1611253</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1611253</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sutanto, Jesse Q.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1611253026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781368112802/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Good, the Bad, and the Aunties]]></title><description><![CDATA["After an ultra-romantic honeymoon across Europe, Meddy Chan and her husband Nathan have landed in Jakarta to spend Chinese New Year with her entire extended family.

It was the only good year of Jane's life--cobblestones and books and damp English air, heady wine and sweet cider and Thalia, endless Thalia. But then one night ruined everything. The blood-soaked night that should have bound Thalia to Jane forever but instead made her lose her completely. Thalia disappeared without a trace, and Jane has been unable to find her since. Until now. Because there she is, her name at the top of the New York Times bestseller list: A Most Pleasant Death by Thalia Ashcroft. When she discovers a post from Thalia on her website about attending a book convention in New York City in a week--"Can't wait to see you there!"--Jane can't wait either. She'll go to New York City, too, credit card bill be damned. And this time, she will do things right. Jane won't lose Thalia again"--]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1500396</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1500396</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sutanto, Jesse Q.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1500396026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593546918/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Four Aunties and A Wedding]]></title><description><![CDATA["Meddy Chan has been to countless weddings, but she never imagined how her own would turn out.

Sutanto a bestselling author comes the first book in a debut dark fantasy duology. Mara has no memory of life before her assassin training behind the fortress-like walls of Tchu-Morrokhai, which has been her world since she was five. Practicing discipline and strategy, sacrifice and solitude, she has dedicated herself to resisting the Divine Empress’s plans of eradicating the all-but-forgotten magic. She longs for a world once again filled with magic - and freedom and love. And she’ll do whatever it takes to find those things. In the faraway city of Velingard, Livya is the privileged daughter of the revered scientist whose invention of an indestructible new metal was the catalyst for a great revolution. Yet Livya’s bored of suitors and balls, more interested in philosophical debates. But when an invite to a secret salon leads to a kidnapping attempt, Livya is suddenly on the run.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1706821</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1706821</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sutanto, Jesse Q.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1706821026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063455368/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=O</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The New Girl]]></title><description><![CDATA[Lia Setiawan has never really fit in.

You get 4 meddling Asian aunties coming to the rescue! When Meddelin Chan ends up accidentally killing her blind date, her meddlesome mother calls for her even more meddlesome aunties to help get rid of the body. Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate-especially when it is accidentally shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding that Meddy, her Ma, and her aunties are working, at an island resort on the California coastline. It is the biggest job yet for their family wedding business-"Don't leave your big day to chance, leave it to the Chans!"-and nothing, not even an unsavory corpse, will get in the way of her aunties' perfect buttercream-cake flowers. But things go from inconvenient to downright torturous when Meddy's great college love-and biggest heartbreak-makes a surprise appearance amid the wedding chaos. Is it possible to escape murder charges, charm her ex back into her life, and pull off a stunning wedding, all in one weekend?]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1333296</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1333296</guid><category><![CDATA[DAISY]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sutanto, Jesse Q.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1333296026</comments><format>DAISY</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C&amp;upc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Will Never Be Me]]></title><description><![CDATA["Influencer Meredith Lee didn't teach Aspen Palmer how to blossom on social media just to be ditched as soon as Aspen became big.
