    Summary

    Katniss Everdeen didn’t mean to fake an engagement with her boss.
    But one headline, one hand-hold, and one terrifyingly enthusiastic PR team later — and suddenly she’s wearing a ring, attending galas as more than just his assistant, and pretending not to notice how her heartbeat quickens everytime he gets just barely too close to her.

    Peeta, meanwhile, is supposed to be focused on running Mellark Media and finalizing a career-defining merger with SnowCorp.
    Not on his assistant.
    Now the lie is spiraling, the board is thrilled, Glimmer seems to be plotting something, and Katniss is starting to think this fake thing might be the realest relationship she’s ever had.

    Oops?

    Summary

    Panem is healing. Slowly, imperfectly—but the fences no longer hum, and laughter has returned to the festival square.

    Katniss Everdeen isn’t sure what to do with joy. She knows hunting, duty, and the quiet ache of debt that never quite gets paid.

    So when Peeta Mellark offers her two cheese buns in exchange for a single dance, she calls it a trade. A fair one.

    But nothing about the way he looks at her feels transactional.

    And Katniss, who has never accepted more than she could return, is suddenly unsure what she owes—and what she wants.

    All debts are not created equal.

    Summary

    “Besides, Bobby says-”

    “Wait? Bobby?” Lenny sits up straight. “You call him Bobby?!”

    “He calls me Midge.” She says it like this’s nothing at all. “Miriam and Robert is a bit of a mouthful.

    “Mrs. Maisel, do I need to be concerned?” Lenny’s half joking, half feeling a strong possessiveness towards a woman who’s technically never been his girlfriend. “Because I have heard some stories.”

    Midge both sighs and laughs. “God, you’re almost as bad as Joel.”
    ***
    California, 1968. Midge is a "Campaigning Comedian" for a certain senator. Lenny is staying sober and trying to write a book. A chance to reconnect accidentally corresponds with a tragic night at a Los Angeles hotel.

    Summary

    After Lenny’s Carnegie Hall speech, Midge is determined to take any opportunity that comes to her, and a European tour seems like exactly what she needs to get her career back on track.

    Cold War? Nuclear Armageddon? Threats of Russian invasion? In-laws? It all seems very distant compared to the reality of being a road comic and dealing with interminable car rides, foreign clubs, cheap hotels, and being so far from home and family.

    There shouldn’t be a lot of time to think about romance, and yet…
