Ori Reynolds has just made the biggest mistake of her life. One
that's resulted in: 1) losing all but one of her friends, 2)
feeling like the World's Most Terrible Person, and 3) having all
her fun summer plans cancelled. And, as if things couldn't get any
worse, she now has no choice but to go on a road trip with her
estranged grandad Claude to his home in the French countryside.
Talk about life giving you lemons! However, while Ori scoffs at her
mum's suggestion to "make lemonade", her sour situation is about to
turn significantly sweeter than she could ever have imagined... The
Thing About Lemons is the perfect summer read for fans of The
Kissing Booth, To All The Boys I Loved Before and Sex Education.
'Exactly what I needed right now – a delightful, heart-warming,
hilarious historical romp, overflowing with queer panic and
terrible jokes. I loved it' - ALICE OSEMAN, bestselling author of
HEARTSTOPPER 'Fun and genuinely funny, with lovely friendships and
first-rate dialogue. Gwen and Art may not be in love, but I fell
for them both' - RAINBOW ROWELL, No. 1 New York Times bestselling
author of the SIMON SNOW Trilogy _______________ Gwen, the
quick-witted Princess of England, and Arthur, future lord and
general gadabout, have been betrothed since birth. Unfortunately,
the only thing they can agree on is that they hate each other. When
Gwen catches Art kissing a boy and Art discovers where Gwen hides
her diary (complete with racy entries about Bridget Leclair, the
kingdom's only female knight), they become reluctant allies. By
pretending to fall for each other, their mutual protection will be
assured. But how long can they keep up the ruse? With Gwen growing
closer to Bridget, and Art becoming unaccountably fond of Gabriel,
Gwen's infuriatingly serious, bookish brother, the path to true
love is looking far from straight ... _______________ 'A total,
rollicking delight ... Lex Croucher is one of my favorite romcom
authors, and they should be yours, too.' - CASEY MCQUISTON, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of I KISSED SHARA WHEELER and RED,
WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE 'Congrats to Gwen and Arthur on their
permanent acquisition of my ENTIRE heart. Suffice it to say that I
loved this book to a degree that’s slightly ridiculous' - BECKY
ALBERTALLI, bestselling author of SIMON VS. THE HOMOSAPIENS AGENDA

In this third book to the NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING and TIKTOK
phenomenon They Both Die at the End series, two strangers, each with
their own complicated relationship to Death-Cast, help each other learn
to live.
This is Paz and Alano.
Paz Dario stays up every night, waiting for the Death-Cast call that
would mean he doesn’t have to keep faking his way through this lonely
life. After a devastating day, Paz decides he’s done waiting around for
Death-Cast. If they say he’s not dying, he’ll just have to prove them
wrong. But right before Paz can die, a boy saves his life.
Alano Rosa is heir to the Death-Cast empire that encourages everyone to
live their best lives, but he doesn’t feel in control of his own
existence thanks to his father. And with a violent organisation called
the Death Guard threatening Alano, his End Day might be closer than he
thinks. It’s time to live.
Fate brings Paz and Alano together. But they must survive the tragic
trials ahead so no one dies at the end.
This book contains themes that some readers may find difficult.
Chrysantha Stathos has won. By hiding her intelligence and ambition behind the mask of a beautiful air-headed girl, she has become a wealthy duchess. And, once her elderly husband dies, she will have all the freedom, money, and safety she's ever wanted. Or so she thought. A man claiming to be the estranged grandson of Chrysantha's lecherous late husband has turned up to steal her inheritance. To make matters worse, her little sister is going to be queen and is rubbing it in her face. Chrysantha decides that the only thing to do is upstage Alessandra at her own wedding. And as for this grandson, he has to go. Never mind that he's extremely handsome and secretive with mysterious powers... No, Chrysantha wants Eryx Demos dead, and in the end, a Stathos girl always gets what she wants.
A hilarious tale of female friendship, bookshops and fighting for a cause – perfect for fans of Holly Bourne and Louise Rennison.
Bennett's Bookshop has always been a haven for sixteen-year-old Paige Turner. It's a place where she can escape from her sleepy hometown, hang out with her best friend, Holly, and also earn some money.
But, like so many bookshops, Bennett's has become a 'casualty of the high street' – it's strapped for cash and going to be torn down. Paige is determined to save it but mobilising a small town like Greysworth is no mean feat.
Time is ticking – but that's not the only problem Paige has. How is she going to fend off the attractions of beautiful fellow artist, Blaine? And, more importantly, will his anarchist ways make or break her bookshop campaign?
Written by debut author and bookseller Chloe Coles, this is the first in a new laugh-out-loud and sparky teen series that will make you want to rush out and start your own bookshop campaign!
Emilie has the worst Valentine’s Day ever—only to relive it over and
over again. Perfect riotous romantic YA fiction where 50 First Dates
meets Groundhog Day.
After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentine’s Day, Emilie
escapes to her grandmother’s house for some comfort and a consolation
pint of Ben & Jerry’s. She passes out on the couch, but when she
wakes up, she’s back home in her own bed—and it’s Valentine’s Day all
over again. And the next day? Another nightmare V-Day.
Emilie is stuck in some sort of time loop nightmare that she can’t wake
up from as she re-watches her boyfriend, Josh, cheat on her day after
day. Not only that but Emilie can’t get away from the enigmatic Nick,
who she keeps running into—sometimes literally—in unfortunate ways.
How many days can one girl passively watch her life go up in flames?
And when something good starts to come out of these terrible days, what
happens when the universe stops doling out do-overs?
