"Hey, Hemingway." "Don't call me that, Pretty Boy." And that was just the beginning of a new friendship. Or so it seemed. ××× Violet Adams was never popular. She had a small group of antisocial people she would occasionally talk to, but that was about it. She wasn't shy or anything. She just didn't like how unintelligent the people in her school were. They all thought that they were above "people like her". Except for Jacob Ambrose. Don't get me wrong, Jacob Ambrose is still an ignorant and egotistical asshole towards people. But he has a different relationship with Violet. He felt the need to have her. But he would never admit it. Violet keeps secrets from many people. She's trying to find information about her family while also investigating the disappearance of her best friend Izzy. Will Jacob be the key to her finding out answers? Or will he drag her into more secrets full of manipulation, deceit, and lies?

Cover by the amazing @LNRoberts1 It's 1983 and high school sophomore, Anne Kelly's home life is coming apart at the seams. What's more, her friends are hanging with the popular crowd, and Anne doesn't feel she fits in. She gradually becomes fixated with a shy junior on the swim team named Gavin Maloney, but her friends think he's a total loser. However, Anne only becomes more interested in Gavin, and she decides to take a prank her friends played on him a step further. She begins writing him letters, not the stupid anonymous notes her friends put in his locker to taunt him, but real letters. Gavin has lost his mom to cancer and his father has gone missing. He now lives with his grandfather who is in a deteriorating state of Alzheimer's disease. It's a secret that Gavin must keep. Nobody can know or they will separate Gavin from his grandfather and put them both in state run homes. Gavin's plan is to stay invisible. Once he turns 18, he'll be a legal adult and nobody will be able to separate him from his grandfather. He just has to hold out one more year. But it isn't easy. Everyone needs friends, and now this Anne girl has singled him out. Part of him aches for human contact, and he's not immune to her quirky sense of humor, but she might be totally insane. She's practically stalking him, and if he befriends her, she might find out about his grandfather and ruin his plan. But what if he just wrote her back?
