Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on the Future That Never Was)

What was the Y2K Era and why are we still living in its shadow? THE EARLY 2000s were marked by a sense of both unbridled optimism and existential dread. It was a new millennium and the future had no limits. Technology was fun. For many it felt like the end of history; we solved all the big problems. No more wars, no more racism, no more sexism. But then history kept happening. In Y2K, one of our most brilliant young essayists Colette Shade offers a darkly funny meditation on everything from the pop culture to the political economy of the period. By zooming in on Y2K cultural artifacts like inflatable furniture, Starbucks, TRL, the rise of internet porn, and the collapse of the housing market, Shade produces an affectionate yet searing critique of an era that started with a boom and ended with a crash. In one essay Colette unpacks how hearing Ludacris’s hit song “What’s Your Fantasy” shaped the course of a generation’s sexual awakening; in another she interrogates how her eating disorder developed as rail-thin models from the collapsed USSR flooded the pages of Vogue; in another, she explores how post-9/11 hysteria curdled into a kitschy patriotic consumerism that warps our politics to this day. Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K is the first book to fully reckon with the mixed legacy of the Y2K Era—an expertly timed, delightfully nostalgic, and bitingly told collection that holds a mirror to our past, present, and future.

It's Not Me, It's You

Jackie Myers is a fraud. Or she might be a genius—the jury’s still out. The thing is, she secretly runs pleasebreakmyheart, a gone-viral account aimed at breaking hearts and ending relationships…. And she just used it to break up her insufferable eternal nemesis's picture-perfect relationship. Wilson is the buttoned-up, type A assistant manager of her nightmares—but it turns out he’s also, apparently, a really great boyfriend. So with her conscience (and paycheck) on the line, Jackie decides there’s only one thing to do: She’s going to help Wilson win his ex-girlfriend back. Which should be easy, considering Jackie hates him…right?

Three Things About Emmy Crawford

In this coming-of-age novel perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Rebecca Lynn Solomon, nothing can derail Emmy Crawford, the type-A daughter of a senator, from relentlessly pursuing her dreams—not Crohn’s disease, the paparazzi, or even heartbreak. There are three things high school senior Emmy Crawford will accomplish, no matter what: Taking Nationals in debate this season. Shielding her sister, Issy, from anything that could hurt her, especially her anxiety. Representing her family well, since her mom may be the next president. And nothing can get in Emmy's way. Not Crohn’s disease, even if her gut has been acting up. Not the paparazzi, who snap any photos they can get of the daughters of a presidential candidate. And definitely not her feelings for Gabe Castillo, the only debater in DC who stands a chance at beating her—and who she used to be on secret kissing terms with, before he ghosted her. When Gabe unexpectedly returns to the debate scene and Issy starts crushing on him, Emmy works harder than ever to keep her eyes on winning and off her aching heart and body, because the alternative means losing the three things that matter most.
