Familiar tropes, unique twists, all the feels. Grab a snack, some
tissues, and try not to fall in love with this playful anthology
that explores or reimagines a well-known trope about love from some
of the most talented and captivating voices in the YA space today.
Each trope acts as a prompt and inspiration for a different story,
as well as serves as the main thread throughout the collection,
while also allowing each author to put their own spin on these
classic favorites that are sure to steal your heart including: *
"Enemies-to-Lovers": Two boys from rival schools are forced to
share a room the night before their championship baseball game.
What begins as their mutual nightmare just might just turn to
something more between the two of them. * "Fake Dating": Every
year, Rachel's siblings and cousins bring dates to the family
Hanukkah party, but Rachel always flies solo. Tired of everyone
asking when she's going to meet a nice Jewish boy (or girl), she
asks Matthew Klein to be her fake date. The only problem? He may
have accepted her invitation only because he has a crush on her
sister. * "Kissing Under the Influence": Two interns in the
Department for Unexplained Phenomena are assigned to investigate a
city that seems to have disappeared. Antics (including a mistaken
ensorcellment and an unexpected declaration of love) ensue.
Fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han will feel right at home in this
heartfelt coming-of-age story about a homesick girl who gives up
her summer plans to help her distant family-only to find everything
she was looking for, including love. Ocean breeze in her hair and
sand between her toes, Anise can't wait to spend the summer before
her senior year surfing and hanging out on the beach with friends.
Santa Cruz is more than her home-it's her heart. But when her aunt,
a single mother, is in a serious car accident, Anise must say
goodbye to California to help care for her three young cousins.
Landlocked Nebraska is the last place Anise wants to be. Sure, she
loves her family, but living in her mother's childhood home-the
same mother who disappeared out of her life when she was
born-brings up memories and feelings she would rather forget. And
with every photo and text, her friends back home feel further away.
Then she meets Lincoln, a charismatic, one-armed skater who dares
her to swap her surfboard for a skateboard. Anise isn't one to shy
away from a challenge. Her days with Lincoln are the most fun she's
had all summer and skating together makes her feel more alive and
free than she ever has. Because sometimes the only way to find your
footing is to let go. Perfect for readers who like:Teen romance
