Who We Are

Unrequited Bookstore was born out of the love and passion for books by our owner. Jessica, the owner and founder of the store, grew up in North Houston with a passion for reading that originated with fantasy, action/adventure and thriller books. As happens with many people, reading fell to the wayside through college and early adulthood, until Jessica found her passion for reading again in 2018 after moving to New York. With the personal discovery of the romance, romantasy, and horror genres, reading was back on the menu. 

 

The passion and desire to share books and the reading experience with others led to the creation of Unrequited Bookstore in April of 2026. Our goal is to provide a curated selection of books across romance, fantasy and horror/thriller that showcases authors and characters of a diverse spectrum. We strive to build a community of readers throughout Brooklyn and provide personalized recommendations to our customers. If you are looking for a recommendation, hoping to see a book that we don't currently carry, or have any suggestions on how we can better impact the community and bring folks together, reach out under our contact page!
