For fans of FIVE FEET APART, this emotional and romantic YA offers an unflinching look at not only the realities of heart failure, but at memory, grief, guilt, and what it means to live—in spite of another, because of another, for another. For yourself.

Sydney Wells should have died. She was supposed to die.

She never expected, after years of waiting, to receive a heart transplant. Now, seventeen-year-old Sydney doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her daily routine consisted of staying indoors, eating heart-healthy foods, and posting about her transplant list experiences on TheWaitingList with her long-distance BFF (and heart failure buddy) Chloe.

Now, Sydney latches onto the one thing that gives her meaning: learning as much as she can about the person whose heart she inherited. After finding the family of her likely-donor, Mia, Sydney falls deep into her world—and may also be falling for Mia's best friend, Clayton.

But Sydney isn’t the only one hiding something. Mia’s brother Tanner won’t talk to Clayton, and Clayton won’t tell Sydney why. And hundreds of miles away, Chloe’s health has taken a turn for the worse. Sydney needs to face what’s in her heart—the truth, the guilt, and the future—before it’s too late.

Meet Zoey Turner, a girl struggling to prove to herself that she’s more than the anxiety ruling her life since her father died.

Zoey shared a love of fantasy novels with her dad, and together they devoured the Magic of Ever After series. Zoey used to see magic everywhere, but now all she sees is danger. Unable to ride the bus, or jump in the pool, or even go to school since her dad’s death, Zoey’s life has shrunk down to a one block radius of places she feels safe—her apartment, her mom’s bakery, and the bookshop next door.  Zoey finally ventures out to attend a book signing event for the Magic of Ever After—but a panic attack derails her. Her book unsigned, Zoey leaves with a consolation prize: a novelty pencil with the slogan “Make your own magic”. A pencil that maybe, just maybe, belonged to Zoey’s favorite author. . When Zoey uses the pencil to write her own fantasy story, she is shocked when her words come true.

Did Zoey just make her own magic? Can she go back to being fearless, like she used to be before her dad died? Emboldened by her pencil and a quirky new friend named Derek, Zoey sets out to write her own happy ending. But things don’t always go as planned, and Zoey must decide who is truly in charge of how her story ends.

A beautifully realistic, relatable story about mental health and the healing powers of art—perfect for fans of Girl in Pieces and How it Feels to Float.

How do you keep everything together when you’re quietly falling apart?

It’s been three months since the Night on the Bathroom Floor—when Lily found her sister, Alice, hurting herself. Since then, Lily has been trying to be the perfect daughter, friend, student and athlete. But now Alice is coming home from her treatment program and it’s becoming harder for Lily to outrun her feelings. Especially when she meets Micah, a guy with a troubled past of his own.

Micah was in treatment with Alice, and he seems determined to get Lily to process not only her sister’s experience but her own. Because Lily has secrets, too. Compulsions she can’t let go of and thoughts she can’t drown out. Things that don't fit with the perfect girl she's supposed to be.

When Lily and Micah embark on an art project that involves finding poetry in unexpected places, Lily realizes that the words she’s been holding back desperately want to break through. But what will Micah think if he finds out who she really is? And will Lily ever be enough?

If you ever feel overwhelmed or struggle with anxiety and depression, or know someone who has, this novel is for you. Because talking about mental health is a conversation we all can share.

Relatable, heartbreaking, and real, this is a story of resilience–the perfect novel for readers of powerful contemporary fiction like Girl in Pieces and Every Last Word.

“Before, I had a place. I was a daughter. A friend. A singer. I was a million things. Now I’m only one— the Burned Girl.”

Ava Lee has lost everything there is to lose: Her parents. Her best friend. Her home. Even her face. She doesn’t need a mirror to know what she looks like–she can see her reflection in the eyes of everyone around her.

A year after the fire that destroyed her world, her aunt and uncle have decided she should go back to high school. Be “normal” again. Whatever that is. Ava knows better. There is no normal for someone like her. And forget making friends–no one wants to be seen with the Burned Girl, now or ever.

But when Ava meets a fellow survivor named Piper, she begins to feel like maybe she doesn’t have to face the nightmare alone. Sarcastic and blunt, Piper isn’t afraid to push Ava out of her comfort zone. Piper introduces Ava to Asad, a boy who loves theater just as much as she does, and slowly, Ava tries to create a life again. Yet Piper is fighting her own battle, and soon Ava must decide if she’s going to fade back into her scars . . . or let the people by her side help her fly.
