The long, hot summers spent on Fire Island have always been the
highlight of the year for sisters Riley and Alice. Not least

neighbour, Riley's best friend in all the world, and the only boy
Alice has ever loved. Then Paul goes to university, and he leaves
them both behind him. Three years later, as Alice prepares to start
Law School, Paul returns. The trick, he tells himself, is to have
what he had without destroying it. But their world will change
irresistibly, wonderfully and tragically, with every breath they
take.

life goes from imaginary to out of control.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse (Riverdale's Jughead) and Haley Lu Richardson (The Edge of Seventeen)!
In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication - they can’t get within a few feet of each other without risking their lives. Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control - even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?
While Cinder dreams of a girl with eyes the colour of the sea,
Princess Ella longs for something she cannot yet imagine. When the
two girls meet, their hearts are filled with joy, but what will
happen when the clock strikes midnight? With one family being a
source of encouragement, the other determined to crush all attempts
at happiness, the odds are firmly stacked against our heroes. Yet
with the power of love and strength, hope prevails. The result is a
richly purposeful and inspirational, tale where girl meets girl and
love faces adversity. Will Cinder and Ella find their happily ever
after?
Tom and Hester's daughter, Wren, longs to escape the peace of
static Anchorage. She craves the dangerous adventures her parents
once had - and a charming submarine pirate is ready to take her to
sea. But the mysterious object that she steals for him ignites a
conflict that will tear the whole world apart...
Why get over your cheating ex when you can get even? John Tucker Must Die meets One of Us Is Lying in a gripping, page-turning debut thriller. His first mistake was underestimating them. Senior year is going to be perfect. Meghan won't settle for anything less. She's already crushing her classes and dating the star of the basketball team. Nate's friends have been less than welcoming, but it's never easy being one of the only Black kids at a mostly white prep school. Still, Meghan did not expect the scene at pep rally. Robin and Bria dated Nate too. Correction: are dating him. He never broke up with them, and Meghan is furious. When Nate is found bloodied and unconscious in the locker room after the big game, suddenly the three teens are prime suspects―and a tenuous alliance may be the only way to clear their names. Except Meghan doesn't remember everything that happened that night, and she's starting to have feelings for one of the exes. One thing is for sure: the more clues they uncover, the more Meghan, Bria, and Robin each look responsible…
She's met her mate . . . and he's met his match. Megan Ross has
been waiting her whole life for her mate to come and sweep her off
her feet. But the wolf she meets on the beach is NOT the sweet
gentle boy she's been dreaming of. Instead, he's a warrior, one
whose suffering has led him to lock his heart away in a prison as
cold and hard as a diamond, who fights to resist the bond and their
deep sexual attraction. Far from home, with a soulmate who is still
a stranger, Megan learns that the path to true love isn't quite as
straight and easy as she thought . . .
