About Saturn Returning. . .
"A sexy stunner."--Kristen Arnett

"If you've ever wished Chappell Roan's 'Kaleidoscope' was a novel."--Chelsea G. Summers

A smoldering, soul-splitting debut that tracks three friends through the celestial chaos of adulthood, love, and queer identity.

Jordan Caleb is a freshman at McCallen College when she meets Trace. From the moment the confident, tattooed Trace compliments Jordan's Alanis Morissette T-shirt, their friendship feels fated and electrically charged. When the two friends meet mercurial transfer student Silvia, she catches Trace's eye. Their instant attraction eclipses the nascent pull between Jordan and Trace, forming a messy constellation among the three women.

Over the course of a decade, their orbits send them to opposite coasts: Jordan builds a life in New York City, while Trace and Silvia get engaged in Seattle, yet the three remain linked by the gravitational pull of the past. As they approach thirty and the apogee of their Saturn return, their bond splinters when Trace calls Jordan with a shocking revelation, exposing a web of heartache, secrets, and unspoken desires.

Saturn Returning charts the complex paths of human connection and queer friendship, questioning how we define ourselves against the relationships that have shaped our lives.

Kim Narby is a queer writer from Seattle. She is an alum of the Tin House Summer Workshop and is a contributor at Write or Die Magazine. Kim has organized with the New York City Dyke March, and she currently lives in Brooklyn with her cocker spaniel, Georgia. Saturn Returning is her first novel.
