In the months after his father's suicide, it's been tough for sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto to find happiness but with the support of his girlfriend Genevieve, he's slowly remembering what that might feel like. When Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron starts hanging out with a new guy, Thomas. Aaron's friends notices, and they're not exactly thrilled. But Aaron can't deny the happiness Thomas brings or how Thomas makes him feel safe from himself.
Since Aaron can't stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound feelings for him, he considers turning to the Leteo Institute's revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is...

There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook. First
there was the car accident - two girls dead after hitting a tree on
a rainy night. Then the murders happened - two girls were killed by
the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know
why he did it. Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die.
After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No
one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost. That was five
years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to
remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it's not that easy.
Her world is starting to unravel. After she discovers the letters
in her stepdad's desk, unearths an ancient phone, and meets a
strange new friend at school, Monica can't just move on. Whatever
happened five years ago isn't over. People know more than they're
letting on and somehow, Monica is at the center of it all. There
are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn't mean
anyone else is safe.

laid-back summer read from a talented new American author. More

loved by just about everyone - except her mom. Living in an orchard
and being homeschooled, Birdie has the social prowess of the
Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's the summer holidays and three girls
meet picking peaches - but they REALLY don't get on; Murphy's too
cool, Leeda's too posh and Birdie's so shy she can't even speak to
guys, especially good-looking ones. Then when Leeda's boyfriend Rex
turns up and Enrico the Mexican takes a shine to Birdie, the girls
find plenty to talk about - and their summer really starts to hot
up...
