The not-so-safe haven of Chattanooga, Tennessee has always been normal territory for Geneva. But as an unproductive, boring year for her comes to an end, everything she believes in is shattered to the point that she can't even be sure that her first name is real. Life swings her from one side to the next, and suddenly she is swung into the same place as five other innocent human beings. Their participation in what seems to be a sick game begins once December arrives, but behind the scenes, things have been changing all along. How long will it take for them to discover who they should point fingers at? Who will find out first, and will he help the others or save himself? Before salvation, though, you must acknowledge that you need to be saved. In these youths' case, it's almost too late for epiphanies. (Sequel, Blue Pencil Dolls, is on my page.)

#TheMelaninMovement What does it mean to be 'Too Far Gone'? It means 'too late to change'. 'No more hope'. Somebody has not only turned the power off, but they pulled the plug. However, for Chenelle Hampton, just because someone pulled the plug didn't mean it was all over for her. After a period of mental and emotional distress, she decides that she no longer wants to sit on the sidelines and watch her life pass her by. As means of revamping herself, Chenelle powered herself on, overcoming the havoc and the mental and emotional misery that came with consorting with notorious criminals. Of saints and sinners, she chose the Third Street Saints. "It's an easy way to make money," they said, but she quickly realizes that she's into something far deeper than get-rich-quick schemes and a side hustle. Secrets about her family are buried and resurfacing to the light, and life as she knows it is changing right before her eyes.

Pop-culture phenomenon, social rights advocate, and the most prominent LGBTQ+ voice on YouTube, Tyler Oakley brings you his first collection of witty, personal, and hilarious essays. For someone who made a career out of over-sharing on the Internet, Tyler has a shocking number of personal mishaps and shenanigans to reveal in his first book: experiencing a legitimate rage blackout in a Cheesecake Factory; negotiating a tense stand­off with a White House official; crashing a car in front of his entire high school, in an Arby's uniform; projectile vomiting while bartering with a grandmother; and so much more. In Binge, Tyler delivers his best untold, hilariously side-splitting moments with the trademark flair that made him a star.
