The Two Lives of Amelia Waxler
Summer 2026, Dial Press (PRH)
A queer adult romcom about two version of the same woman: the one who kissed her friend Grace from World History in a pantry at a high school party, and one who awkwardly ate pickles instead, featuring:
-
Is it dual POV? Single? Is she one person or two? Cue the spiderman-pointing meme.
- Two romcoms for the price of one, aka both of them catch the feels for Pantry Girl but now they're 35 and all wear blazers
- My high school trauma if you squint. A little. You might not need to squint, actually.
- Returning to your hometown, second chance vibes, except the hometown is Los Angeles so it's mostly traffic jokes
- Someone(s) is disabled
- Someone(s) is gay
- Begrudging adulting
- Too many effusive sentences about the beach and/or sailboats
- My real former office at UCLA
