Make a Wish
by Stefania GilLeah and Jonathan were really in love. Engaged and planning their wedding. One day, though, when Leah got home after a long day, she found that Jonathan and his whole family had left without explaining a thing. All they left was an empty space full of questions that remained unanswered and a despair that appeared to want to accompany her all her life. She decided to move to the Big Apple, assuming the city would allow her to start over. But no. Every year, around the same time everything had happened, Leah relived every moment of her suffering. As the years went by, she understood that she wouldn’t be able to find happiness anywhere and she decided to go back to Arlington with her family. Her best friend Ellie, who she had known since they were babies, suggested they set up in business together. She also realizes that Ellie wants to hitch her up with her older brother, Ryan. It was when she was packing up to move that she had an accident that provided the vision she had been seeking for so long. For a brief moment she saw her love, after so many years. She recognized him and then, in the blink of an eye, she lost him again. Was it Leah’s imagination, tricked by love, that was showing her an image of Jonathan? Would she have to resign herself to never finding answers and give in to Ryan’s offers to be happy? Or was she right, and her beloved Jonathan was coming back to her after all those years to return to what fate had forced them to interrupt many years beforehand?

by Rachel BatemanIn this rom com from the author of Someone Else's Summer, a hopeless romantic juggles senior year stress, family problems, and faulty friendships around the end of senior year and prom. Quincy Walker is a hopeless romantic, so when she's kissed by a stranger in a dark theater, her rom-com obsessed imagination begins plotting the perfect movie-version ending to her senior year (which ends, like all great high school rom-coms, with the prom). With the help of her friends, Operation Mystery Kisser is born: a plan to set Quin up on dates with all the guys who were at the theater that night so she can discover who kissed her. The only problem? Her friends insist on blind dates, and Quin hates letting go of control--just ask the members of her group for her final project for film class. As prom draws nearer, Quin is no closer to finding who her mystery kisser was, and she's not sure she wants to continue looking. Maybe it's her dad's failing health and her brother's absence; maybe it's the fact that she's fighting with her best friend; or maybe--just maybe--it's that she's falling for a guy who definitely isn't the one she's been looking for.
