After the death of her best friend and soulmate, Constance Everdeen is consumed by overwhelming sadness and depression. The light that once brightened her world has faded, and she feels as though the person who made her life radiant like the stars and sun is gone forever. The future she and her best friend had promised each other-one filled with adventure and living life to its fullest-has been shattered. Now, Constance finds herself alone in a bleak and lonely existence, unsure how to move forward or find meaning without her loved one.

Just as Constance is about to lose all hope, something extraordinary happens. In a strange, unfamiliar place, she stumbles upon a mysterious pathway. Drawn to it by an indescribable force, she discovers that this pathway is not ordinary-it holds the power to transport her across the universe in search of her deceased soulmate. With a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart, Constance embarks on an interstellar journey through vast, unknown realms, each step bringing her closer to unraveling the secrets that may reconnect her with the person she lost. Along the way, she begins to question the nature of life, death, and the universe itself. Will she find her soulmate, or is this journey merely a reflection of her grief and longing?

But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?

Now, all these years later, he's back, and there she is-still gentle, still enchanting, but undeniably changed. She's someone different, someone who stirs something deeper that feels both familiar and new, something he doesn't know how to admit. As they find themselves drawn back to each other, reigniting the friendship they once cherished, old memories blend with new emotions that neither of them fully understand. The laughter returns, and so do the silent promises.
