{WATTY'S 2020 WINNER & EDITOR'S PICK.} Hopeless romantic and aspiring writer Mare Atwood has fallen madly in love with her childhood correspondent. There's only one catch-she doesn't know who he is. When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction

| completed | Every story needs a main character. Ours is Valencia Morgan, a not-so-perfect girl living in her not-so-perfect, yet satisfying world. And every story needs a cute guy too, am I right ladies? That would be Dani- all cigarettes and cocky remarks, along with a pocketful of trouble. And because the plot just wouldn't be interesting enough, let's throw in a bunch of humor, a whole lot of drama and just a little bit of tears. Wait, there's also a unicorn that poops skittles somewhere in there. Mix those all together, and what do you get? The assurance of their worlds colliding, new possibilities, and a whirlpool of romance that just might turn their lives upside down. Cover image credits go to the rightful owners! :)

The fire crackles and I can hear the river flowing down the hill. Ruby blows out a rough breath and stomps her hoof on the ground. Aiden sits by the fire and all I can think about is what he said earlier about how rivers remind him of everything he's trying to avoid. Quietly, I sit down beside him, handing him a canteen of water. "What did you mean when you said that rivers remind you of everything you're trying to avoid?" I ask gently. He glances a glance at me and then looks back at the fire, clearing his throat. "Nothing. It doesn't matter." I pause slightly. "If it didn't matter, you would have no problem telling me." I say. He doesn't speak, so I decide to push a little bit further. "Aiden, come on. We're stuck in the woods tonight, at least tell me something." He looks down at the canteen in his hands and sighs. "I put up walls when I was eight..." he hesitates. "It wasn't really intentional, but my parents got divorced and some other things happened and well...it messed me up pretty bad." He takes a sip of water and sighs again, rubbing his chin. "It was mostly there to protect the scattered pieces of myself that I didn't want anybody to find, like glass in a way...and I was protecting a child from picking up the sharp pieces." He takes a deep breath. "And then she came along and knocked them down brick by brick until I was completely exposed. And I waited, I guess for her to fix me...but all she did was make it worse. She just added more glass until there were cuts all over me. She left me with nothing but more damage, so now I'm just hollow...and I'm terrified to look inside. I want to glue myself back together, but what if I cut my hands?" "That's..." I search for the right word. "Intense. I thought you were just-" "Egotistical? That I only think about sex?" I feel bad, but I nod. "Pretty much yeah." He nods a little before turning to look at me, angling his entire body towards me. "There's a lot that you don't know about me." THE COVER IS BY @nerdfpiper

When the quiet girl in Clayton Hugh's chemistry class comes knocking on his door at five in the morning barely covered up in her little pajamas, inattentive, and drooling like crazy, he has no choice but to take her inside. But once Lucy Walker wakes up inside a room she has never seen before wearing an over-sized t-shirt and gym shorts, you can imagine the pure panic setting in her. The subtle addition of Clayton entering the room shirtless doesn't help much either. After three years of fawning over him, leave it up to her sleepwalking to finally get Clayton Hugh to notice her.
