Overview
When an idealized Instagram life hits stormy weather, do you choose a picture perfect fiction, or the rough seas of true love?
A small island holds big secrets and even bigger dreams. Willa has a picture-perfect life in the Outer Banks: hanging out with friends, living in a sea-side cottage, running a popular sailing Instagram. When followers enter her into a national sailing championship, it should be no problem. Too bad Willa doesn’t actually know how to sail.
Desperate, Willa begs Lane Cordova, a previous champion, for a crash course. But Lane’s competence is matched by Willa’s ineptitude, and her growing crush on Lane isn’t helping. As the competition threatens to go awry, Willa must choose between her carefully curated life and the terrifying possibility of being her true self. For fans of LGBTQ+ romance and stories of self-discovery.

"Suzanne deftly examines the pressures that accompany the curation of a perfect self, and the payoff of opening up yourself to vulnerability, compassion, growth, and love." —Jude Sierra, author of Idlewild and A Tiny Piece of Something Greater
"Sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover. Tack & Jibe is proof of that. Lilah Suzanne delivered just what I expected from the gorgeous pastel cover with paper sailing boats. This is a sweet story of two women learning who they are and finding love along the way. There are plenty of waves in the ocean to keep you turning pages and oodles of seaside charm. This is one of my favorites of the year so far." —Caitlin Ryan, The Lesbian Review
