One on One (2024)
Jamie Harrow
"In her absorbing debut novel, Jamie Harrow has crafted a moving journey about following your dreams, falling in love, and the power of finding your voice. When Annie returns to her alma mater's basketball program as a video producer, it feels like a last resort. What she discovers is an opportunity to rekindle a sweeping romance, redefine her legacy, and rewrite the ending of her own collegiate athletic chapter. As enthralling, captivating, and addicting as the very best basketball games, with sparkling cinematic moments worthy of one of Annie's own electrifying sizzle reels, One on One is a total slam dunk. I couldn't put this down!"
The Most Famous Girl in the World (2024)
Iman Hariri-Kia
"In The Most Famous Girl in the World, Iman Hariri-Kia has crafted a thrilling, laugh-out-loud triumph. Hariri-Kia's central mystery is masterfully twisty, and its charismatic enemies-to-lovers romance is sweepingly sexy, but where this novel shines brightest is in its biting voice, narrated by the singular, sarcastic, and sensational heroine Rose Aslani. I was hooked from the first page of this whip-smart and fast-paced exploration of the stories we tell-about those we admire, those we loathe, and those who dare to hold a mirror back up to ourselves. This is a novel I couldn't put down. Hariri-Kia has cemented herself as an auto-buy author for me, and after that last chapter... I need a sequel!"
The Same Bright Stars (2024)
Ethan Joella
"With his signature heart, hopefulness and hard-won wisdom, Ethan Joella more than delivers in The Same Bright Stars. Readers will laugh, cry, and dream alongside the earnest, sentimental Jack and his instantly lovable, warm-hearted community of Rehoboth Beach natives, a town that sparkles to life from the very first page. With his story of family, grief, legacy, and perseverance, Joella has crafted a sensational summer read. I will forever feel lucky to read (and yes, unabashedly weep over!) anything Joella. writes."
