I Vote You, Mr. Mayor by Isabella Renee
If you are not yet over Heated Rivalry, we would suggest watching it again, and then reading ‘I Vote You, Mr. Mayor’.
"Since they met, he understands why Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun needed to dance in the street and kiss in the rain; he understands why Joanna Slayton would ruin her expensive gold dress by jumping from a yacht into the middle of the ocean to reach Dean Proffitt; and he understands the aching desire in Darcy's chest when he tells Elizabeth she has ‘bewitched him, body and soul'."
I Vote You, Mr. Mayor is an LGBTQ+ romance comedy that was written to appeal to a broad audience. Luke Cameron-McIay is an optimistic but naïve young man eagerly starting out in his journalism career. His parents are big in the political sphere of New York City, and his mother has been Mayor for two terms. He tries forging his own path in his own career but finds himself wrapped up in a constant world of politics - more than he intended - when he meets his parents political rival, Duncan Thatcher. Duncan is an attractive, charming older man who opens Luke's eyes to a part of his identity he has struggled with his whole life.
While he attempts to keep his crisis out of the public's eye, he secretly continues to pursue Duncan behind his parents back. Throughout their illicit affair, it evokes questions: Could their fling derail the entire campaign? How can someone like Luke find the courage to love themselves enough to admit who they truly are? Is love enough to risk everything for?
In Memory of Us by Michael Lawther
For boundary pushing, artistic, and provocative storytelling, ‘In Memory of Us’ should be your February read!
The narrator reflects on a complex and emotionally charged relationship with someone who is deeply involved in provocative, boundary-pushing art. They describe a night where they walked together through a forest and into Brewer Street, where the artist had displayed controversial photographs featuring themes of nudity, violence, and intimacy. The artist grapples with the nature of human instincts and the conflict between assuming or resisting them, eventually choosing to "fight the wolf" within.
This decision marks a turning point in their relationship. The artist begins to distance themselves from their previous work and ideals, influenced by a new acquaintance, Margaret, who believes in personal transformation.
