In Time With You
by Kristin Dwyer
Can she get it right the second time(line) around?
You've Reached Sam meets Before I Fall in this gripping speculative romance about one girl saving her first love's life by falling for the last person she ever should - his best friend.

✦ All the Yearning and Angst: If you’re a fan of “the one who got away” tropes, prepare yourself. This story hits every note of heartbreak and healing, with enough art and angst to keep you hooked.

Beth is Dead
by Katie Bernet
Beth March’s sisters will stop at nothing to track down her killer—until they begin to suspect each other—in this “brilliantly snappy…electrifying” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) debut thriller that’s also a bold, contemporary reimagining of the beloved classic Little Women.
When Beth March is found dead in the woods on New Year’s Day, her sisters vow to uncover her murderer.
Suspects abound. There’s the neighbor who has feelings for not one but two of the girls. Meg’s manipulative best friend. Amy’s flirtatious mentor. And Beth’s lionhearted first love. But it doesn’t take the surviving sisters much digging to uncover motives each one of the March girls had for doing the unthinkable.
WHY WE PICKED IT
✦ Takes a classic story we all know and flips it into something darker and way more unhinged
✦ A murder mystery where literally everyone has a motive, so the theories don’t stop
✦ Digs into sisterhood when love, jealousy, and competition are all tangled together
