Set On You

'Just the right dose of delicious steam' Ali Hazelwood

'Fresh, fun and extremely sexy' Helen Hoang

'Full of wit, charm and Big Firefighter Energy' Lynn Painter

----------

Curvy fitness influencer Crystal Chen built her career shattering gym stereotypes. After a recent break-up, she has little time left for men, instead finding joy in the gym - her place of power and positivity.

Enter firefighter Scott Ritchie, the smug new guy who routinely steals her favourite squat rack. Soon, sparks start flying . . .

As the ultra-competitive foes battle for gym domination, the last thing they expect is to run into each other at their grandparents' engagement party. And, in the lead-up to the wedding, Crystal discovers there's a soft heart under Scott's muscled exterior. Bonding over family, fitness and cheesy pick-up lines, she just might have found her person.

But when a photo of them goes viral, savage internet trolls put their relationship to the test . . . Are they strong enough to get through it?

Reviews

Energetic, steamy, and so, so fun. But more than that, it's also a hugely important book that celebrates body positivity in the most joyous way possible

A sweet, original fantasy - its flights of authorial fancy balanced by down-to-earth characters and the matter-of-fact language

—— Sunday Telegraph

Henry's journeys back and forth are by turns slapstick noir and unbearably poignant, and Clare's child and teen narrations disturbingly pitch-perfect. Philosophical speculation occurs in the most unlikely devices and morality, despite the temptations of plot, remains intact. This is alarmingly close to perfection, and balm to the jaded

—— Scotland on Sunday

One of those books where you read the first paragraph and you're hooked... Unmissable

—— Irish Independent

A real page turner. I loved this addictive story about love, loss, revenge and friendship. Readers will be rooting for Joni and her friends, but my most favourite character was Tyson, the furious chihuahua! I love Jane's books and this one was such a treat to read

A brilliantly spiky read. Loved it

—— Sam Baker, author of The Shift

Another brilliant tale from best-selling author Jane Fallon

It would be easy to compare Straub to other masters of the genre like Meg Wolitzer or Jennifer Egan, but she's already a master in her own right

—— The Millions

Emma Straub is such a funny and brilliant writer and this time-travelling tale is a charming exploration of what it would be like to find yourself younger and surrounded by the people you love when they're still at the height of their power
