5 Books I Want to Read Soon!

_{Imogen may be hopelessly heterosexual, but she’s got the World’s Greatest Ally title locked down.

_{Of course, the more time Imogen spends with chaotic, freckle-faced Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with…}

_{That is, until Laura joins the bookshop.}

_{Smelling of roses, with her cute literary tote bags and beautiful poetry, she’s everyone’s new favourite bookseller.

As Roach’s curiosity blooms into morbid obsession, it becomes clear that she is prepared to infiltrate Laura’s life at any cost.}

_{Stevie and Nora had a love. A secret, epic, once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. They also had a plan: to leave their small, ultra-conservative town and families behind after graduation and move to California, where they could finally stop hiding that love.}

_{But then Stevie has a terrible fall and the last two years of her life are erased overnight. Suddenly Stevie finds herself in a life she doesn’t quite understand – she’s estranged from her parents, drifting away from her friends and dating a boy she can’t remember crushing on. She’s headed towards a future that isn’t at all what her fifteen-year-old self would have envisioned.}

_{And Nora finds herself … forgotten. Can the two find their way back together through a lost memory? A romantic ode to the strength of love and the power of choosing each other, against odds and obstacles, again and again.}

_{A friendship – and then something more – starts to form. September’s easy warmth gives Flint permission to enjoy his life, and in turn Flint allows September to grieve instead of hiding behind smiles and personas. But time’s running out and Flint hasn’t shared his secret yet – will their connection prove extraordinary enough to last beyond those last few weeks, or is their time together destined to end in heartbreak?}
