    Summary

    It was Wednesday now and Helen was dying, evidently—the fall a symptom and not the cause, the doctor was quick to assure them. Naturally, Carol disagreed. No, Helen was not dying. Yes, it was all Carol’s fault; two statements that could only coexist in the beautifully, brilliantly flawed mind of one Carol Sturka—bestselling author, loving wife, masochist extraordinaire.

    Summary

    Carol Sturka is the forty-seventh President of the United States, and the most convincing thing about her presidency might be her marriage to Julian Vane, which is warm and genuine and entirely platonic. Helen Umstead, who serves as her Press Secretary, is the woman who sees through all of it, and who Carol cannot stop noticing in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with press strategy. After a Republican senator starts questioning the true nature of the marriage and an emergency in the Arctic forces the administration into intense scrutiny, Carol or Helen learn that the White House contains no space more hazardous than any room that leaves the two of them alone.

    Summary

    "There were voices, many voices. And now it’s gone,” Zosia explains, the words flowing in more easily as she continues speaking, though the pain intensifies with the clarity of each word. “I’m hurting, Carol.”

    --

    Zosia struggles with silence after being separated from the hive mind, and Carol tries to help.

    Summary

    They were alone. The acre yard was private, the other house obscured by one of the old cottonwoods. Helen kissed Carol’s warm cheek. It hadn’t taken carrots to coax that tender underside to the surface, but months of trust, of walking the path at Carol’s pace, gazing at the stones she chose to overturn and listen to her describe what lay beneath. Her kiss said everything it needed to. Thank you for not stomping me to death. I’ll take you as you are, now and always. I’m happy to be here with you.

    Summary

    Carol Sturka is a fifty-three-year-old best-selling fantasy author who secretly hates the story that made her famous.
    She is also a widow.

    The world knew Helen Umstead as her manager. Carol knew her as her partner of twenty years.

    On her first European tour without her, Carol boards the ÖBB Nightjet from Amsterdam to Vienna with a deluxe sleeper cabin still booked for two and no interest in speaking to strangers.

    Zosia Wyspiańska is thirty-nine, a cultural anthropologist who studies intimacy, identity, and the way people perform love in public. She boards in Münster. She recognizes Carol immediately. She is not a fan. She is curious.

    What follows is a two-month book tour across Europe, a slow collapse of control, and a love story Carol once believed she had already lived.

    Slow burn. Grief. Mutual tension. Very explicit.

    Summary

    Seventy-five days after the Joining, Carol Sturka is still immune - and still alone.

    As the hive's quiet promises grow more personal, Carol begins to question what was real: the love she felt, the choices she made, and the cost of resisting a world that insists it only wants to share its happiness.

    With time running thinner than she expected, Carol must confront the possibility that saving humanity may mean losing the one person she never meant to sacrifice.

    Because the Union doesn't threaten.

    It loves.

    And it never stops waiting.

    Summary

    Zosia never meant to fall for the woman behind her grandmother’s favorite romance novels.
    Carol Sturka writes sweeping straight love stories and guards her private life carefully. But one late-night message turns curiosity into connection, and connection into something neither of them can ignore.

    One lives in New York. The other in Albuquerque.
    And falling in love might cost more than just the distance between them.

    Summary

    This is a modern alternative universe where two different Carols take center stage. One is Carol Sturka, a bestselling author living in Albuquerque, who has a tendency to drown both her grief and her pessimism in alcohol and who fiercely defends her privacy. The other is Carol Aird, a New Yorker, happily married to her lifelong love the photographer Therese Belivet.
    When Therese meets Carol - the writer - during a photoshoot to promote her latest book, it marks the beginning of a long-distance friendship.

    No harm will be done to Carol and Therese, I promise. Also, no alien virus and no hivemind. However, a tall brunette named Zosia will obviously be there. On the agenda: fun and fluff, and a touch of angst, surrounding a character on her difficult way back to life and love.

    Characters are not mine. Weird phrasing and mistakes are (English is not my native language).
    Major spoilers for Pluribus.
