Love and Other Foreign Words

by Erin Mccahan

Equal parts comedy and coming of age, this is a whip-smart, big-hearted, laugh-out-loud love story about sisters, friends, and what it means to love at all. Can anyone be truly herself--or truly in love--in a language that's not her own?Sixteen-year-old Josie lives her life in translation. She speaks High School, College, Friends, Boyfriends, Break-ups, and even the language of Beautiful Girls. But none of these is her native tongue--the only people who speak that are her best friend Stu and her sister Kate. So when Kate gets engaged to an epically insufferable guy, how can Josie see it as anything but the mistake of a lifetime? Kate is determined to bend Josie to her will for the wedding; Josie is determined to break Kate and her fiancé up. As battles are waged over secrets and semantics, Josie is forced to examine her feelings for the boyfriend who says he loves her, the sister she loves but doesn't always like, and the best friend who hasn't said a word--at least not in a language Josie understands."Josie's a rarity in teen literature, a genuine original . . . Lively characters and a satisfying plot foil reader expectations in the best possible way."--Kirkus Reviews

Love at First Fight

by Sandhya Menon

From New York Times bestselling author Sandhya Menon comes a delightful enovella sequel to When Dimple Met Rishi and There&’s Something about Sweetie, about a Valentine&’s Day group date gone hilariously, disastrously awry.Ashish Patel has never considered himself a hopeless romantic. But now that he&’s found his other half, Sweetie Nair, there&’s nothing he wants more than to celebrate love in all its forms. So when Valentine&’s Day rolls around and he hears about a romance-themed escape room, he knows it&’s the perfect opportunity to bring together Sweetie along with his newly engaged brother and sister-in-law-to-be, Rishi Patel and Dimple Shah. On their way to the escape room, the group runs into Pinky Kumar and Samir Jha—both friends to Ashish but nemeses to each other. Despite Pinky&’s kneejerk reaction to the cheesy theme (which gets her a high-five from Dimple), the two of them agree to join the group. The escape room is as insufferably saccharine as Pinky feared, but even she is surprised when she and Samir actually…work well together. Samir embodies everything Pinky despises—following rules, having no fun, consuming single-use plastics. Getting along with someone like him—a shiny Volvo when she&’s so used to junkers—sends Pinky into a tailspin. Sparks are definitely flying, but it&’s unclear if that&’s a good thing. Could this be love at first fight?
