Pretty Toxic [PREORDER 14 November 2026]
$32.00 AUD
Saint Vincent
I might be the best-selling solo artist in the world, but my personal life is a disaster. For every number one album, there's a sea of my worsts, all documented in photos.
Bad break-ups. Destroyed hotel rooms. Fights. Drugs. And just as many rumors.
Every headline reaffirms the walls I’ve built around myself. Fame destroys everything it touches and I can’t let anyone close.
The only exception is my best friend— Lowe Wilder.
But I’ve fucked that one up too.
It’s all about him. Every song, every lyric. Every piece of music I’ve ever written. I planned to carry that secret to my grave. He’s straight.
Another break-up, another call to Lowe. I can’t bear to have another scandal splashed across the tabloids. At my absolute worst he’s here to pick up the pieces, and I ruined it all with a kiss.
Lowe Wilder
I’m the least famous member of the most famous band in the world. I’ve sat in the background while we toured the world and tore each other apart.
I wouldn’t have made it through any of this without Saint. He came into my life like a nuclear bomb. Unapologetic and with about as much destruction, but he’s kept me sane from across the world.
Nothing could come between us.
Until he kissed me and shattered my world.
Pretty Toxic can be read on its own or enjoyed part of the Pretty Broken Series.

Preorder Frequently Asked Questions
We open up orders for a month, and once sales close we will begin production.
We do this to allow us to monitor demand, and prevent overstock and deliver the best possible product to our customers.
The preorder sales will open and run for one month. Once the month has lapsed and sales closed, we will then reach out to our manufacturers and partners, and arrange all the many, many components of the collaboration. Each manufacturer will have a different delivery date, and we will keep everyone updated on the process on our Shipping Page. We anticipate delivery 16 weeks post the closure of the preorders.
Yes, prior to preorder closure you can. Once the preorders have closed, those funds have been committed to manufacturing and we will not be able to offer a refund.
Once preorders close, we estimate shipping will commence 16 weeks post. We will always do our best to stay timely with shipping, however all projected shipping schedules are mostly dependent on things that are outside of our control.
We will continue to keep you up to date on the shipping and progress page which will be updated with any notifications that may extend out timeframes.
ABOUT US
Your favourite bookstores, favourite bookstore
Launching in June 2024, Swoon Bookstore started life as a retail indie bookstore with a focus on Queer titles and Australian authors. We created a steady community and began to dabble in bespoke pop up events and small-run special editions to compliment them. The pivotal moment in the next phase of the Swoon Story began with the inception of our first, fully featured Special Edition Book Box, Hamartia by Scarlett Drake, which was released April 2025.
