As if starting high school weren't bad enough, Reyna Fey has to do so at a new school without her best friends. Reyna's plan is to keep her head down, help her father recover from the car accident that almost took his life, and maybe even make some friends. And then Olive Barton notices her. Olive is not exactly the kind of new friend Reyna has in mind. The boys make fun of her, the girls want to fight her, and Olive seems to welcome the challenge. There's something about Olive that Reyna can't help but like. But when Reyna learns Olive's secret, she must decide whether it's better to be good friends with an outcast or fake friends with the popular kids. . . .before she loses Olive forever.

Sophie Canon has just started her junior year when her mother tries to kill herself. Sophie has always lived her life in the shadow of her mother's bipolar disorder, monitoring her medication, rushing home after school to check on her instead of spending time with friends, and keeping her mother's diagnosis secret from everyone outside their family. But when the overdose lands Sophie's mother in the hospital, Sophie no longer has to watch over her. She moves in with her aunt, uncle, and cousin, from whom she has been estranged for the past five years. Rolling her suitcase across town to her family's house is easy. What's harder is figuring out how to build her own life.

I love how the weather starts to cool in Autumn. At some point the heat and humidity just gets to be too much.

My favorite thing about Autumn is the cooler weather. It's nice to get a break and be able to open the windows and not run the A/C all the time. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Autumn is the leaves changing colors. I would love to read these books because they sound very good. Thanks for the giveaway. Tore923@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI love the falling leaves and the colors that surround me :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read the books because I like young adult books. They'd be a little different for me because the ones I read are usually paranormal.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about autumn is that crisp, snappy feeling in the air in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite season is Autumn, and for so many reasons. For one, I love jeans and wearing jackets and long sleeved clothing, and I love cooler weather. I live in the mid Atlantic region of th US, so it is always hot and humid or raining here, so I love the cool fall days, and everything that comes with it! (Football, school, etc.)
