Meet Me Again by Jacquelynn Lyon

Zadie and Paige meet on a frozen lake on Christmas eve. Both are escaping complicated home lives and looking for something out on the ice. Zadie is restless. Paige is unmoored. In the wake of their adolescent growing pains, they keep running into each other in their small mountain town. They fit together in confusing ways up until Paige has a breakdown and seems to leave for good.

Years later, the two of them find their paths drawn together again by something greater than themselves. This time they meet as adults with worries of jobs, friends, money, and the knowledge that nothing is guaranteed. Zadie feels stunted and unsure of what to do with an ill-fitting life. Paige is haunted by herself and the question of letting someone in even if you are never fully "recovered."

Meet Me Again is a Sapphic coming-of-age romance that follows Zadie and Paige from high school to adulthood, traversing illness, first love, and the Herculean young adult task of finding purpose. A luminous and funny story of the chance encounters and familiar strangers that transform our lives.

I am thrilled to be putting out my first ever original novel: Meet Me Again! It is a Sapphic romance with a bit of spice and humor.

Everything's got a little woke in it. That's why everyone who tries stopping woke goes insane.

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL

I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way. It's no surprise both Nagai and Suzuki are both considered prolific in art pertaining to the city pop genre because they're able to paint these kinds of scenes with a delicate touch.

This feels like I could trip on that radio and fall right into that water, feeling the crystal waves as I drop in.

And this, a nice stroll down a resort strip, where my sunscreened skin could literally feel cooked if I leaned too close to the tiling.

And then a nice stretch of summer street, wherein you could see your face in the flushed red of that car provided it didn't blind you from its sunny reflections.

I don't think I even need to say anything more, Suzuki's a massive influence in how he even places colours so warmly in such unorthodox manner. It's a naturally sunkissed talent~ 🌊

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.
