Kennedy Ryan Revealed the Final Book in the Skyland Trilogy
Today.com got the exclusive on Can’t Get Enough, the final installment of the Skyland trilogy, out May 13, 2025. While her story is “funny and sexy,” we’ll also get to see more of Hendrix’s vulnerable side, Ryan says. Can’t Get Enough feels “timely” to the conversations many women have today, Ryan says, especially women who are child-free by choice, like Hendrix. “I feel like this is such a providential intersection of the story and something that is so important that we’re discussing right now in culture,” Ryan says.” And what a stunning cover!

Heartstopper Series Will Stop With Season Four
It seems like the adaptation of Alice Oseman’s queer romance graphic novel series Heartstopper just debuted, but here we are. Season three of the show recently dropped on Netflix, and sad news, Heartstopper fans, Oseman says if there is a season four, it will be its last season. “While speaking to podcast host Tommy DiDario, Heartstopper author Alice Oseman that, if the show were to get picked up for a fourth season by Netflix, it would be the series’ final outing.” Oseman hopes for the renewal and plans to give the characters endings to their stories, which is more than a lot of shows get.
