From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a bold reimagining of the astonishing true story of two sisters in nineteenth-century North Carolina — Kline’s own distant relatives — who married the world-famous conjoined twins from Siam.
It’s intimate. Complex. A little wild in the best way.

THE FOURSOME

Art Direction + Design: Mumtaz Mustafa

Art: Dan Funderburgh 

Working with Dan was genuinely a dream. He understood the tone immediately — romantic, historic, slightly strange — and brought so much nuance to it. And the toile endpapers? I’m obsessed. They add this quiet depth that makes the whole object feel layered and special.

HELLO, LIMERENCE — Momo Yamaguchi (out Aug 18, 2026) 💘
For fans of Asako Yuzuki + Fleabag: a fearless debut following an overworked young woman in Tokyo as she careens through lust, obsession, and delusion—and tries to pull herself back.

Illustrated by the brilliant Manshen Lo — I loved working with her on this. She’s sharp, thoughtful, and so talented, and the entire process was genuinely a joy. I’m really proud of where we landed.

Loved working on the cover design for this beautiful memoir 🚦❤️🧡💚

COVER REVEAL!⁠
A note from the author: "The cover for my first book, coming out October 3! Thank you so much to Mumtaz Mustafa for giving my memoir a face!⁠
⁠
When we were driving and I’d ask my mom where we were going, she’d often say, “To hell if we don’t change our ways!” It was a regular joke for people in my Pentecostal family and she delivered it with goofy bravado, but I realized as I got older that she was often saying it to distract from the fact that she didn't know where we were going. With no money, her abusive boyfriend hunting for us, and dwindling places to run to, she gave me this little platitude that I could chew on as I gazed out the car window. I often thought about hell and what I needed to change about myself to avoid going there. When I reflect now, I see that hell was being caught in a cycle of violence, watching as the hurt moved through generations, through my mother, through her father, through his father, through the men who came into my life and wanted to be my father, through me, through my brother.⁠
⁠
I'm hoping people will find language and recognition in my book. I'm hoping readers will come away feeling complicated about the characters. I'm hoping I make enough from royalties to buy a hot pickle. I'm hoping you will all let the joy and discomfort sit in your body at the same time.⁠
⁠
The pre-order link is in my bio! Please. I really want that hot pickle."⁠
— Brittany Means, author of HELL IF WE DON'T CHANGE OUR WAYS⁠

Available in bookstores everywhere on October 3rd!⁠

I’ve been saving my copy of ‘s latest TWO WARS AND A WEDDING as a special treat for when I emerged from the deadline cave, but Bailey says I’ll have to rip it from her paws first. This prequel to the marvelous BAND OF SISTERS weaves together the Spanish-American War, a groundbreaking woman archeologist, and a scandalous love affair (among other irresistible historical threads) but really all you need to know is Lauren wrote it. Auto-read. You’re welcome.
