    • Téměř se utopila… byla v kómatu několik dní… a poté… Když se Olivia probudí z kómatu, zjistí, že ztratila paměť. Nevzpomíná si nejen na tu autonehodu, ale na nic za poslední čtyři roky, na celou střední školu, svého kluka Matta, kluka, neví, proč se už nekamarádí s Jules. Ta nehoda jí sice nevzala život, ale sebrala jí něco stejně živého a důležitého – paměť. Čím víc se snaží si vzpomenout, tím víc se ztrácí v mlze a najednou neví, kým je, když jí všichni dokola opakují, kým byla. A pak je tu Walker, kluk, který ji zachránil a kterému je téměř nemožné poděkovat, protože si od ní drží odstup. Její vztah s Mattem je neudržitelný, trápí ji Walker a také tajemství, která ji ostatní tají… Olivia musí najít své místo v životě, který si ani nepamatuje, že by žila, a zjistit, kým je teď.

      In this unforgettable novel, Quinn Sullivan falls for the recipient of her boyfriend’s donated heart. Printz Award winner John Corey Whaley calls it “not just a love story, but one with a ferocious pulse.” After Quinn’s boyfriend, Trent, dies in an accident their junior year, she reaches out to the recipients of his donated organs in hopes of picking up the fragments of her now-unrecognizable life. But whoever received Trent’s heart has chosen to remain silent. The essence of a person, Quinn has always believed, is in the heart. If she finds Trent’s, then in a way, she will still have a piece of him. Risking everything to get closure once and for all, Quinn goes outside the system to track down nineteen-year-old Colton Thomas, whose life has been forever changed by this priceless gift. But what starts as an accidental run-in quickly develops into something more, sparking an undeniable attraction. She doesn’t want to give in to it—especially since he has no idea how they’re connected—but the time Quinn spends with Colton makes her feel alive again. No matter how hard she’s falling for Colton, though, each beat of his heart reminds her of all she’s lost . . . and all that remains at stake. Perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, this unique and emotional story about an unexpected bond between two strangers will leave no heart untouched.

    • A devastating loss leads to an unexpected road trip in this novel from the author of Moonglass, whose voice Sarah Dessen says “is fresh and wise, all at once.” Hours after her brother’s military funeral, Honor opens the last letter Finn ever sent. In her grief, she interprets his note as a final request and spontaneously decides to go to California to fulfill it. Honor gets as far as the driveway before running into Rusty, Finn’s best friend since third grade and his polar opposite. She hasn’t seen Rusty in ages, but it’s obvious he is as arrogant and stubborn as ever—not to mention drop-dead gorgeous. Despite Honor’s better judgment, the two set off together on a voyage from Texas to California. Along the way, they find small and sometimes surprising ways to ease their shared loss and honor Finn’s memory—but when shocking truths are revealed at the end of the road, will either of them be able to cope with the consequences?
