The Right Kind of Light
|
Official Synopsis
Ginny Merchant just graduated from high school. Her best friend refuses to talk to her. And her writer’s block? It’s still going strong, unless she’s writing to the one person who won’t listen. Since her best friend left, Ginny hasn’t written a word worth keeping. When Ginny is invited to work at Storybook Land, an amusement park with a castle, a carousel, and familiar childhood characters, she takes the chance, optimistic that surrounding herself with children’s stories might help her write again. But working at Storybook Land isn’t the fairytale Ginny hoped for. She’s still anxious about leaving home in the fall and how chasing her dreams might affect her family. Even after meeting Summer, who sees the world through her camera and lives for adventure, Ginny worries about making the wrong decision. Then there’s Milo, who works on the park’s maintenance staff and brings Ginny strawberry slushies every day. Milo has his own past that connects with Ginny’s from before this summer. Leaving home is never as simple as it seems, especially when you grow up in a town with its own yellow brick road... |

Official Synopsis
Found family can't fix everything—especially your mom's death—but it can make the crash landing softer. NOT WITHOUT YOU is an "Emily Henry meets college" novel about collegiate runner Lou. She's crashing out, but she has a running scholarship and a promise to her mom to keep. If only her roommate Annabella and this strange (and hot) classmate would just let her be. As Lou builds walls to protect her heart, Annabella and Archer do everything they can to remind Lou what real friendship looks like. But when Lou is finally comfortable in her new friendships and ready to move forward, an event shakes the friend group to their core, sending Lou down an all-too-familiar spiral. Will Lou choose her friends, or will she keep running? |

Yes. Every Single Day.

Official Synopsis
Teenage dirtbag and yearbook editor. Headstrong mechanic and bookish nerd. Tropes that work in books, but never in real life. There's fate. Destiny. Reading, seeing, believing the signs, the songs, the stars. And then there's reality. In Yes. Every Single Day., two teenagers fall in love the summer before senior year and it's the beginning of everything that's gonna matter. Nothing will ever be the same again. Over three vignettes the couple grapples with endless miles across the South Dakota prairie and the constant drum in their hearts: what do they owe each other vs. what do they owe themselves? As our narrator considers, over a decade, in a dozen bedrooms, up and down I-29, and finally, in a dim, gritty motel room: what happens when you meet the person you're supposed to be with, but neither fate, or time, agrees? |
