Taste perfection. Don't ask what's in it. June Summer, a master's student in Amsterdam, has her dream part-time job: selling gelato at the award-winning gelateria Scoop. It's demanding work, but June gives it everything she has. She'd be stupid not to. Jobs at Scoop are almost impossible to get. The pay is abnormally high. The benefits are ridiculous. The uniform consists of high-end fashion, right down to a designer watch. And then there's the fame, or infamy, that comes with working for Madam Biscotti, Scoop's eccentric and notoriously strict owner. Madam Biscotti demands virtuous behaviour, decency, cleanliness and perfection. A year into the job, a new girl starts. Quinn Sophia is a medical student from the University of Amsterdam and the epitome of perfect: her looks, her work ethic, her scent, her attitude. June likes everything about Quinn. And for a while, everything is perfect. Everything is sweet. Until it isn't. At all. What exactly is Madam Biscotti hiding? And will June and Quinn discover the dirty secret behind Scoop before it's too late?

SHORTLISTED WATTYS 2026 This is normal. This is platonic. My best friend is sitting on my lap. My roommate is asleep in the next room. Amsterdam is in lockdown. And I am fine. I am not fine. Jill Wijntuin is a 25-year-old spoken word poet with no stage, no income, and a five-year crush on the very straight best friend she should have gotten over years ago. Then her ceiling floods, her room becomes unlivable, and she ends up in her roommate Tara's bed. Tara is not part of the plan. Tara is weird and dramatic and dangerously comfortable with personal space. She keeps looking at Jill like she can see something Jill is trying very hard not to say out loud. Locked inside a Jordaan apartment with one crush she needs to survive and one roommate she absolutely should not want, Jill makes three emergency plans: Plan A: survive lockdown without losing her mind. Plan B: stop being in love with her very straight best friend. Plan C: avoid Tara at all costs. Unfortunately, Tara lives here. #2 Lesbian romance #13 Slowburn #1 Quarantine #4 Lesbianfiction #1 Amsterdam #5 queerromance
