Three years ago, Tal Lieberman made the decision to take his own life. Three years later, Zona Lieberman is just beginning hers. Following her brother's death, Zona, along with the rest of her family, was left without explanation, wondering where, exactly, or, perhaps, when they went wrong-what they could have done to change things. But, after three years, Zona realizes that it's time for her to continue with her own life. So, she heads off to her first year of college, leaving her parents alone, for once, to cope with her brother's loss on their own. After bonding with her roommates at school, finding herself unable to keep her mind off of her stoic neighbor, and mysteriously discovering a letter from a stranger after checking out her brother's favorite book from the library, however, Zona realizes just how much more life has to offer - and, slowly, after so many years of putting those she loves before herself, Zona is forced to realize her own self worth and discover her own path.

They were what ruined romance novels for the small town of Langston: three teenagers, one summer, and a game of spin the bottle. Briton was like a shell, refusing to open up ever since her parents' scandalous divorce six years again. Jae was the boy next door who held secrets not even the love of his life knew about. And six years after his mother's death, Chandler's heart still laid at his feet, shattered, and he refused to even acknowledge it. None of them expected things to work out the way they did that summer. But no one can outrun time, and the clock had just about caught up with them. Now, it time to face their past, and, more importantly, their hearts. I'll tell you where it led them. Welcome to Langston.

Ola Murphy is tired of shitty men in her life-and she's tired of being hung up on shitty men. After her dog dies, her apartment floods, and she discovers that her boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend, Ola finds herself stuck at her cousin's townhome with absolutely no direction as to what she should do after college graduation and no desire to find one. When an ad for a renovated tiny home van falls into her life, though, that all changes. On a shotgun road trip across the U.S., Ola starts a journey to independence, searching for what she hopes to be the feminist manifesto of documentaries. She goes cliff jumping, stays up all night to see the sunrise with a man she just met, and, even when a tire blows out, finds pride in her growing independence. But, after an old family figure suddenly walks back into her life with devastating news, Ola begins to learn that you can only outrun your problems for so long before there's nowhere left to run-or hide. And she is forced to discover her own meaning of feminism and independence.

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
