When Mollie starts to prefer the dreams she's having to the painful reality of life, she's forced to choose between embracing a fantasy or the man she loves. ***** Since she was seven, Mollie Cutright has known two truths: she loves Howard Flynn and her dreams are the most magical part of her life. Each day she suffers at the hands of her abusive parents, but each night she is surrounded by a loving family who call her by a different name. Growing up in 1930's Virginia, no one has patience for a girl who might be mad, so Mollie strives to keep her dreams (and how often they intrude on her reality) a secret. But when her secret comes out, Mollie is sent to an asylum, though not before she and Howard are secretly engaged. It is at the asylum she discovers the dreams are echoes of her past lives. She's an immortal, if she makes a journey to claim her heritage. The problem is, if she continues down this path, she can never see Howard, the love of her life, again.

Beatrice (Bee) Lippman is your normal, every day girl. Except for the fact that she's a literal abyss of destruction. Then again, that's pretty normal for a teen girl. However, on top of that, she's been in a heavy courtship with Death himself. Or more accurately, the Death organization needs her to be processed. After failure-after-failure to process her, Rath is finally personally assigned to her case. Can Bee outrun Death? Or will Death run from her? Or can an unlikely bond form between two lonely beings in a world that wants them to stick to their assigned path? **** Honestly, writing this just for my own laugh lol Bee is how I envision what a personification of my quiet BPD would be like. Unpredictable. Disastrous. Messy. Selfish yet a people pleaser. Avoidant yet clingy. Distant yet emotional. Unsure of who and what she is. Most importantly, innocent because she never asked for any of this. (It's far from a perfect representation. Characters take on a life of their own that just don't always go with the OG plan.)

Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. *different summary inside* "Perfect amount of tragedy, humor, and romance!" -Sparkles530 "I feel like I learned a lot from your story, thank you." - 980Sarah "This book is beautifully written.
