Nobody asked for this : a novel / by Toews, Georgia,author.;
"Virginia is twenty-two and a stand-up comedian. In between working the rounds of Toronto's small comedy club circuit and auditioning for paper towel commercials, she is tiptoeing around her depressed roommate and childhood friend, Haley, and having biweekly dinners with her bereaved stepdad, Dale, while trying to manage her own grief at the loss of her mother. She is also secretly working to get the green card that will be her ticket to L.A. and, she hopes, a glittering comedy career. But when Dale tells her that he wants to sell their family home, and when a date with a fellow comic turns into a shattering encounter, she is forced to confront the limits of comedy--and friendship. Not every experience can be neatly packaged into a "bit," and not every friendship is meant to last. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Nobody Asked for This reaches into the messy depths of love, friendship, grief and trauma and, like all the best jokes, is utterly unpredictable."--

Nox has been steadfastly working as a quartermaster for the rebellion for years. They don't ask for much in return, except for one crucial condition-their ex, the noble Lord Bastian, stays as far away from them as possible. To say things ended poorly between them is an understatement ... and it's the only relationship Nox has never quite recovered from. But now the rules have changed. Siobhan, the rebel leader, has emerged from hiding to tell Nox that Bastian's involvement in the rebellion has been discovered, and he's being taken captive. The fate of the entire rebellion now rests on Nox and Siobhan's ability to rescue Bastian from the Cŵn Annwn ship. Saving Bastian is only the start of their hardships, as the trio is tracked by ferocious pirates across Threshold. And Nox's complicated relationships and entanglements with Bastian and Siobhan put not only their life at risk but their heart on the line"--
