"A slice-of-life coming-of-age story that gracefully addresses larger themes of immigration, economic disparity, and emotional abuse.
Immediately after high school graduation, eighteen-year-old Maya is kicked out of her wealthy dad's NYC home; he prides himself on forcing his kids to 'make their own way in the world.' Maya's mom lives in Guatemala, so Maya crashes with friends while working and trying to land freelance writing gigs.
Maya struggles to find her footing until she gets access to a 'writing room,' a shared workspace where she can focus-and get to know the intriguing neighbor, Jake, who's often there.
When she discovers her dad is bankrolling a virulently anti-immigrant candidate for governor, Maya―the daughter of an immigrant―realizes she can't continue quietly accepting his choices. She'll have to take a stand, using the voice she's found in the writing room."
"A teen actress lands a role on the same high-profile show as her ex-boyfriend-only for things to get messy when she falls for his cute scene partner-in a dazzling sapphic rom-com from the author of Caught in a Bad Fauxmance.
"A swoony celebrity romance sure to steal your heart." -Jennifer Dugan, author of Some Girls Do
Actress Marisol Polly-Rodriguez might be entering her flop era. After wrapping up a hit show, she's neither booked nor busy. Not to mention, her former costar turned boyfriend, Miles, recently dumped her for being an "unserious" performer. Can you imagine?
To prove to Miles-and online trolls-that she takes her craft very seriously, Marisol lands a role on the same upcoming drama series he does. But with the eccentric director constantly rewriting her lines and a snobby castmate trying to upstage her, Marisol quickly realizes that her hope of nabbing an award nomination might be a pipe dream.
The only person she doesn't have to put on a performance for is the show's leading lady, Jamila. Marisol hasn't been able to look away from her since their first audition. Falling for Jamila wasn't part of Marisol's plan, but even the most dedicated actors go off script sometimes, right?"

"Sapphic sports romance perfection. Swoony and romantic, but unafraid to tackle grief, family expectations, and fighting for your dreams, this is a home run of a book." -Rachael Lippincott, coauthor of the #1 New York Times Bestsellers Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl
June is the star pitcher of her elite club baseball team-with an ego to match-and she's a shoo-in to be recruited at the college level, like her parents have always envisioned. That is, if she can play through an overuse injury that has recently gone from bad to worse.
Ivy isn't just reffing to pay off her athletic fees or make some extra cash on the side. She wants to someday officiate at the professional level, even if her parents would rather she go to college instead.
The first time they cross paths, Ivy throws June out of a game for grandstanding. Still, they quickly grow from enemies to begrudging friends . . . and then something more. But the rules state that players and umpires are prohibited from dating.
As June's shoulder worsens, and a rival discovers the girls' secret and threatens to expose them, everything the two have worked so hard for is at risk. Now both must choose: follow their dreams . . . or follow their hearts?"
"Set more than one hundred years after the Borden murders, this propulsive, supernatural thriller imagines what might happen if history were to repeat itself today. Perfect for fans of Kara Thomas and Courtney Summers!
When Mariella Morse accuses her boyfriend, Vik Gomez, of murdering her wealthy parents with an axe, the town is quick to believe her. It doesn't help that Vik is caught standing over her parents' bodies with blood on his hands, unable to remember anything about the night in question.
But Vik's sister, Tessa, knows that Vik would never be capable of such a gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family to move to Fall River, MA in the first place, she sets out to prove her brother's innocence.
Tessa's search for answers will lead her into a sprawling, notoriously cursed forest, where she and Mariella must face a darkness that has lurked within their town since before the days of Lizzie Borden-the original axe murderess of Fall River."
"From the Man Booker-shortlisted author of Fever Dream comes a hotly anticipated new collection of eerie short stories. Playful and unsettling, teeming with the energy of barely contained violence, Seven Empty Houses dismantles the neat appearance of domesticity to expose the darkness and discomfort that lies beneath.
A neighbour looks on as a couple grieve the loss of their son. A young girl makes an unwelcome acquaintance in a hospital waiting room. A woman prepares for death with ruthless precision. Ominous and exhilarating, reminiscent of the best of Shirley Jackson, these chilling tales cement Samanta Schweblin's place among the finest short-story writers at work today."
