    Nia Bennett and Aaliyah Monroe have been in love for three years. They're out. Public. Unapologetic. When they sign the lease on their first apartment together, it feels like the beginning of everything they've worked for - shared keys, shared groceries, shared futures. But two weeks after moving in, Aaliyah's freelance clients begin to disappear. Invoices go unpaid. Contracts fall through. Emails stop getting answered. What starts as "a slow month" becomes something heavier. Bills pile up. Pride tightens. Resentment creeps in quietly. Love starts to feel like pressure. And in the small space they now call home, they must confront something deeper than money: The ways they were taught to survive - and whether those survival habits are strong enough to hold a relationship. Because sometimes the hardest part of love isn't choosing each other. It's staying when things get ugly.

    A gritty, contemporary YA novel from the heart of Russia. Dima's world is held together by two things: his beaten-up fake sneakers and his best friend, Vanya. They're just trying to survive their crumbling neighborhood-scraping for cash, avoiding trouble, and dreaming of something more. Then two shocks hit at once: Vanya's mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer. The treatment costs half a million rubles-an impossible sum. And Dima, who's been secretly in love with his rich classmate Yulia since second grade, gets a text from her: "Maybe we could hang out?" Now Dima is torn between two impossible tasks: finding a small fortune to save a woman he loves like a mother, and stepping into a world of money and privilege for a girl he thought was out of his league. In a race against time, where every honest road leads to a dead end, how far will he go to keep his balance? For fans of THE HATE U GIVE and gritty, realistic coming-of-age stories.

    ​"A golden life is a heavy burden to carry when you are the one being sold." ​She ran and ran. She kept running until her lungs burned and the world blurred into a shadow of what it used to be. Every path she takes is promised to be golden, yet her hands remain empty-devoid of anything but the dirt of a struggle she never chose. ​Her eyes were wet, but she didn't pray for comfort. She prayed that her tears weren't salt, but gold-anything of value that could finally pay the debt of her existence. ​In a world where survival is a luxury and social norms are the cage, J is the only prize. She is the "Golden Goose" for a family drowning in a fate they didn't ask for. But when the universe demands every drop of your soul to keep those you love afloat, what happens when the gold runs out? ​A raw, universal story of family, poverty, and the girl who has to bleed for a fate that refuses to set her free.
