Black

Meet Carrie—brilliant, sharp-tongued, and utterly alone. A misfit genius with a razor wit, she drifts through life untouched by the world around her—until she stumbles into *Black*, a shadowy goth boutique where she meets Liss, a magnetic force of dark lace and even darker charm. Their connection is electric, but Carrie’s icy shell isn’t easy to crack. As she navigates a world of opera, allotments, and late-night confessions, Carrie must confront her own fragility—and the terrifying possibility that she might actually *care*. A razor-sharp, darkly funny tale of love, jealousy, and the messy business of being human.
