"When We're Forty"

Two friends joke they'll get married when they're forty in this sparkling queer love story by Georgia Clark, author of ISLAND TIME.

Hannah says:

I'm thrilled to introduce Georgia Clark — author of this summer's smash hit ISLAND TIME, cheese board devotee, co-founder of Heartbeat — and her short story, "When We're Forty."

Last month, Stranger Things' teenaged stars Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp joked that if they're both single at forty, they'd tie the knot. In this swoon-worthy tale, Georgia put her own spin on that exact idea with sci-fi blockbuster stars Michelle Balmain (a rule-following workhorse) and Zef Kobayashi (a trouble-making, big-hearted flirt). The tension is hot; the yearning is palpable; the 2000s nostalgia is so real. With lush prose and laugh-out-loud humor, this queer love story simply dazzles.
