A Sick Girl’s Guide to Secrets & Second Chances
By day, Lydia Venuto (18) is a part-time college student and small-town librarian. By night, she’s a fierce endometriosis advocate and amateur archivist with her own podcast.
When Lydia's inaugural podcast episode about chronic illness is a viral hit, she’s hell-bent on producing an episode about her father’s activism, but letters between her father and late mother start to unravel everything she thought she knew about herself.
Meanwhile, she’s fielding DMs from her ex-best childhood friend, Arabel Alfaro (17), the girl who broke her heart. At an all-important endometriosis conference, Lydia’s advocacy and her search into her family’s past collide in a chance encounter with Arabel.
But when a piece of the past changes everything Lydia thought she knew about herself, maybe it won’t be so bad having the person who knows her best in the world by her side after all.

Love is Not Linear
Naomi Russo is a seventeen year-old The X-Files aficionado with a stellar academic record who only believes in things she can see.
When the cute teacher’s pet from last year, Eli Asher, kisses her at the last party of the summer, she tries to forget the way his lips felt; he was too drunk to remember anyway.
But soon, Eli is in her chemistry class, pestering her with homework help, and the more time she spends with him, the more she falls for his charm.
Naomi must decide what’s more terrifying: confronting Eli or letting a chance at love slip away.
