Love/Aggression

"A firecracker. June Martin bursts onto the scene with this surreal comic novel, a book with  heart, soul, and viscera." Isaac Fellman, DEAD COLLECTIONS

The Trans Feminine Review's Best Debut Author of 2024

Best friends Lily and Zoe fight, separate, reunite, and repeat, each time deepening the belief that the other is the source of their problems. Once Lily, a struggling tattoo apprentice, is exiled from their shared house, she bounces from an artist's fixer-upper, to a cult leader with a harem of subs, to a house shared with the goddess of transfemininity. Meanwhile, rising movie star Zoe becomes more cutthroat by the day in her relentless quest for fame. 

If Lily can't give up her desire for control, if Zoe can't lay aside her cruelty and ego, they'll never escape their intolerable places in the world. Traversing art, domination, sex, and shape-shifting houses, LOVE/AGGRESSION is a novel about the indignity of depending on other people, and the terrible cost of trying not to.
