I Love You, Don't Die
Acclaimed author of CHLORINE, Jade Song, returns with her latest literary exploration of the Gen Z condition, I LOVE YOU DON'T DIE - a lyrical, poignant, and heartfelt novel about the meaning of love, friendship, debt, depression, and death in New York City.
Seeing death as the only inevitable thing in life, Vicky has always found it fascinating. She surrounds herself with it - living above a Chinatown funeral parlour, working at a celebrity start-up for bespoke urns and collecting zhizha (paper creations meant to be burned for the dead).
Despite living in Manhattan and working her dream job, she struggles to find meaning in her life or make connections outside of her best (and only) friend Jen. That changes when a dating app leads her into a throuple with an artist and a labour organiser, who seem to offer exactly the kind of love she needs.
For some time, it's perfect, but no one understands better than Vicky that all things must end. When her doubts grow over her love life, her friendship and her job, Vicky must decide whether to try and hold on to what she has, or to do what she does best . . . destroy.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
