Love and Other Foreign Words
by Erin MccahanPerfect for fans of John Green and Rainbow Rowell, Love and Other Foreign Words is equal parts comedy and coming of age--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.

Overnight Sammie is forced to deal with change. And one change spawns another: Roles get reversed, old and new friendships tested, and sexual feelings awakened. It’s a scary time. But as Sammie realizes that things can’t stay the same forever, that even the people she loves and trusts the most can disappoint her, she begins to accept that change isn’t always bad. It’s how you cope, jumbled feelings and all, that counts. And as she copes, Sammie’s sense of self emerges proud and strong.

Love at First Click
by Elizabeth ChandlerFlynn was on my end of the long line of players. His thick, dark hair ruffled in the breeze. He was one of the lucky guys whose cheeks actually showed it when he decided not to shave that day--very rough, very heart-stopping for the girls who got close, if not for the other team. It was so tempting to use my telephoto. But I was a disciplined journalist. Besides, when reviewing my photos from the previous year, I noticed I had zoomed in on Flynn like thirty times too many. It wasn't like I was in love with him or something--I've never even spoken to him, except to say "Hold it right there" or "Cheese." No, I had nothing more dangerous than what I call a "camera crush."
