Adult & contemporary romance; Romance

He’s so off-type that her attraction to him fuels an identity crisis. A steamy romance for fans of You, Again and Never Have I Ever.

“People who've been ‘that woman crying on the subway just after moving to New York’ will feel so seen. (It's me. I'm people.) Comedic Timing is a raw depiction of romance and friendship, featuring all the complexity of navigating sex and love as a bi woman.” —Kate Goldbeck, author of You, Again

For Naina Rao, moving to NYC means a fresh start: She’s officially entered her mid-twenties, she’s landed a steady job, she’s broken up with her intensely passionate older girlfriend, and she’s committed to hustling her way into a creative career.

The city doesn’t exactly embrace Naina with open arms, though—not even her new boss or new roommate seems to know what to make of her. It isn’t until meeting David, an aspiring filmmaker, and his friends that she starts to feel at home.

But finding a connection with David makes Naina question everything she thought she knew about her place in the world. Does being open to a relationship with a man mean compromising her sexual identity and her sense of self?

“I’ve never read a story that so deftly captures the beauty and overwhelm of expansive attraction.” —Haley Jakobson, author of Old Enough, a NYT Editors’ Choice

“831 Stories facilitates literary meet-cutes and brings the finest smut to the thirsting masses.” —Vanity Fair
