Stop me if you've heard this one : a novel / by Arnett, Kristen,author.;
"Cherry Hendricks might be down on her luck, but she can write the book on what makes something funny: she's a professional clown who creates raucous, zany fun at gigs all over Orlando. Between her clowning and her shifts at an aquarium store for extra cash, she's always hustling. Not to mention balancing her judgmental mother, her messy love life, and her equally messy community of fellow performers. Things start looking up when Cherry meets Margot the Magnificent-a much older lesbian magician-who seems to have worked out the lines between art, business, and life, and has a slick, successful career to prove it. With Margot's mentorship and industry connections, Cherry is sure to take her art to the next level. Plus, Margot is sexy as hell. It's not long before Cherry must decide how much she's willing to risk for Margot and for her own explosive new act-and what kind of clown she wants to be under her suit"--

The second chance store : a novel / by Bravo, Lauren,author.; revision of:Bravo, Lauren.Preloved.;
City dweller Gwen feels like she's living a secondhand life. She's thirty-eight, perpetually single, and in dire need of a dentist's appointment. Her friends are busy procreating in the country, and conversations with her parents seem to revolve entirely around hedge borders and the trash pickup schedule. Above all she's lonely. But then, isn't everyone? Then she's let go from a job she drifted into a decade ago and never left, and Gwen realizes it's time to make a change, starting with cleaning out her apartment. In the charity shop where she literally and metaphorically unloads her baggage, she discovers a group of weird and wonderful people devoted to finding a new home for donated items that have lost their use elsewhere. Gwen volunteers there--and finds a new home for herself among her fellow workers while discovering joy in the untold stories of secondhand things. Now it's time for Gwen to get out of her life in pause, and to find a way to move forward with bravery and humanity--and more regular dental care.
