Warning - this novel contains themes that some readers may find
upsetting, including suicide and intense bullying.
This bind-up features two repackaged fan-favorite novels that are
sure to delight readers of Stephanie Perkins, Jennifer Echols, and,
of course, Catherine Clark. Summer vacation isn't just about
working on your tan line and flirting with the lifeguard...For two
teenage girls in two irresistibly romantic novels it's also a
chance to learn that sometimes leaving home is the best way to find
yourself. In Picture Perfect, Emily can't wait to spend her summer
on the beautiful beaches of the Outer Banks, North Carolina. It has
been two years since she went on a trip with her three closest
childhood friends-two years that she's hoping will erase the memory
of the last time she saw Spencer, the boy who broke her heart. And
what better way to forget about Spencer than to have the perfect
summer fling with Blake, the boy living in the beach house next
door? But embarking on a new romance is more difficult than she
expected when her feelings for her first love aren't exactly a
thing of the past. In Wish You Were Here, Ariel is embarking on the
summer vacation of a lifetime-at least, she hopes this is the only
trip like this she'll ever take. Stuck on an "America's Heartland"
bus tour with her family, leaving her amazing boyfriend back home,
and maintaining her track-team endurance by sprinting through rest
stop parking lots? Who could survive four weeks of that? But as she
spends more time with the intriguing, also-miserable Andre, Ariel
begins to learn that sometimes you just have to go where the road
takes you-even if the tour bus won't.

Told entirely in text messages, the second book in this addictive
series from the acclaimed author of 11 Before 12 is perfect for fans of
Lauren Myracle and Rachel Renee Russell.
TBH, Cece has no time for her boy-crazy friends. She wants to make a
bigger impact in middle school than just choosing the perfect kissy
cat-face emoji.
But that’s hard when Gabby and Prianka talk about their crushes 24/7.
(To be honest, it’s way too much information!) Between nailing down
summer plans, getting busted for iMessaging in class, and organizing
the spring fair, things are getting rocky for the BFFs.
But when Prianka gets an SOS text from her friend Vishal, the girls
realize they need to band together—because some of their classmates
have bigger challenges than dealing with sixth grade stress.
Students at Lycroft Phelps are marked for success. As a straight-A
student and girlfriend of the school's star rower, Charlotte
believes in what the school has to offer. Meanwhile, scholarship
student Max is struggling. Until he's asked to join the rowing team
offering him popularity - but at what cost? Then there's Quinn, a
sixth-generation legacy student, who should be able to lay claim to
the school in a way others can't. Who instead must watch the boy
who assaulted her continue to play at the top of the school's food
chain. Only in the dead of night does Q realize the solution to her
suffering: Colin Pearce must die. But Lycroft Phelps has more than
one dark secret at its heart, and as the three students uncover
just how far the school will go to keep those ugly truths hidden,
there's a lot more than reputation at stake... A tense and timely
thriller with a revenge plot that'll have you on the edge of your
seat. Perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow, Chelsea Pitcher and
Louise O'Neill. (Trigger warning: this book contains descriptions
of sexual violence that some readers may find upsetting.)
There are two sides to every story. It's friends-at-first-sight for
Jessie and Annie, proving the old adage that opposites attract.
Shy, anxious Jessie would give anything to have Annie's beauty and
confidence. And Annie thinks Jessie has the perfect life, with her
close-knit family and killer grades. They're BFFs . . . until
suddenly they're not. Told through alternating points of view, How
It Ends is the story of a friendship from first meeting to breakup,
set against a tumultuous sophomore year of bullying, boys, and
backstabbing. Catherine Lo makes her debut with an honest, nuanced
tale about the intricacies of female friendship.
