Something in the Way is Jessica Hawkins’s most recognized series, a four-book forbidden romance that follows a complicated love triangle across years. The first book, Something in the Way (2017), introduces a connection between two people who shouldn’t be together, and the subsequent books trace the consequences of that attraction through Somebody Else’s Sky, Move the Stars, and Lake + Manning.
The series gained a large following for its willingness to put readers through emotional difficulty. Hawkins does not take shortcuts with the central conflict, letting the tension and guilt build across the full four-book arc before reaching a conclusion.
