A new book for lovers of John Green and "The Fault in our Stars" . . .

GIRL MEETS BOY. GIRL LOSES BOY. GIRL MEETS GOD.

It was supposed to be Lexy Quinn's year. The hard-working wallflower has finally landed the coveted spot as Editor of her school's newspaper. Then the rug is ripped out from under her when she finds out her mom is sick, and the family is moving half-way across the country to Preston Hills, Texas. 

Lexy can't think of a worse place to be than at a school full of snobby rich kids where she'll have to start all over to get people to notice her writing, or--who is she kidding?--notice her at all. When the most swoon-worthy boy in town, who also happens to be the jock celebrity quarterback, gives her an exclusive interview, Lexy's life takes an unexpected turn. 

Ash Preston is the perfect guy and, even better, he sees Lexy as she wants to be seen. But can she trust him? PRODIGAL is a different kind of love story, where faith, romance, and God converge . . . and it just might change the way you look at your life.

With a "fuckboy" personality, he promises that he can get any girl fall at his feet. After the lies that surrounded the arrest of her brother and Jonathon, Alyssa refuses to let herself trust easily. What happens when Cole makes a bet with one of his friends that he can get a certain Phoenix to fall in love with him and...take her virginity. Damien is the star athlete, he's always been the center of attention and loves it. His only problem, he doesn't do relationships. But, that's perfect for Jade because she's the exact same way. After her parent's divorce she swore she would never fall in love. The two of them quickly turn their relationship from just friends to friends with benefits. What will happen when one begins to develop feelings? Lennox is the leader. He's stubborn, cocky, and everything Nova hates.

At the age of fourteen, she decided she will be married before she was thirty. Her life seemed perfect. Her parents were happily married. She has a wonderful brother who looks out for her. The only thing she hates about it is Travis Cross, her brother's annoying best friend, a.k.a. the boy who sleeps in the guest room and her worst enemy. Her life took a sudden three-sixty, with a tragedy that made her lose everything she held dear in her perfect life. But amidst all that, Travis swore that he will protect Brianne for the rest of his life. Soon, their hate relationship turned into an unbreakable bond of brotherly love and friendship. But their dependent and comfortable friendship will always be complicated because although Travis promised to protect her at all times, at all costs, there's a beast inside him that craves for Brianne like a drug. And Brianne isn't always immune to Travis's charms. But she already lost so much and Travis has become the most important thing she couldn't afford to gamble with. This romance novel starts when the characters were fifteen years old and followed their lives into adulthood and all the complications in it including sexual tensions and raging hormones, dealing with family, death and teen peer pressure... all of which make up the deep and unbreakable connection of Travis and Brianne.

You And Me, Forevermore by TrishaChakraborty6

"He was the definition of what you call bad, he smoked, he broke the law, he drove too fast for his own good.He didn't care because no one taught him how to. But when it came to her, he wanted to be the best man.He couldn't bare the thought of her being hurt by him...or by anyone else. He would kill to protect her, the girl who cared about someone as worthless as him in all her perfection". "Perfection... that's what she's always been. Not even her scars could steal the hope in her eyes. She waited for someone. And when she met him, she couldn't help what she felt. She fell hard for him. And so did her saviour. The girl who had a little too much heart to go around. She never thought herself of being worthy of his love. And she'd go to hell and back for the one who loved her fiercely".
