The Bookstore on the Beach

BOOK ∙ 2021

Brenda Novak

With more than 60 novels to her name, Brenda Novak knows her way around a juicy family drama, and her latest delivers exactly that. Still reeling from her husband’s sudden disappearance more than a year ago, Autumn brings her two teenage children to stay with her mother in her seaside hometown. This homecoming sets the stage for the rekindling of a high-school romance and the slow reveal of a devastating, long-held secret—not to mention a slew of other great twists. As Novak’s relatable cast of characters fall in love and navigate a range of serious issues, including teen pregnancy and PTSD, she presents their stories with an abundance of heart and humor. The Bookstore on the Beach is an escapist treat with emotional heft.

Rap Life PLAYLIST ∙ 2022 Apple Music Hip-Hop EST Gee’s “Backstage Passes” marks his fourth collaboration with fellow Louisville native Jack Harlow, as the pair seem determined to prove their working relationship is way deeper than just an “odd couple” attention grab. In all fairness, the two don’t exactly  look  like they’d frequent the same night spots, but one listen to “Backstage Passes”—or any of the songs they’ve made together—and it’s easy to understand that they have much in common as rising rap stars, and maybe more strikingly as they claim on record to each be the MC responsible for putting Louisville on the map. The city is up right now, and most heartwarmingly, each wants to make sure the other gets the credit they deserve for that. Listen to the Pooh Beatz- and Nik Dean-produced “Backstage Passes” on Rap Life, the playlist at the forefront of hip-hop culture today, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
