Choose your fighter, hardcover or paperback, in this simultaneously-releasing title being compared to Kara Thomas. The author is the one who was behind the pair of Veronica Mars novels we got several years back.

It doesn’t take much to ruin a person’s reputation. Iris Henley knows this–someone shared in their school’s subreddit forum that she’s a murderer. Iris, the post said, killed Rocky and Lynette, two students who were killed the previous summer.

Everything in Iris’s life shatters immediately. She is the perfect suspect: Rocky was her boyfriend, and Lynette was her former best friend (and the girl Rocky was cheating on Iris with). Iris didn’t murder them, though, and now, she has to navigate all of the rumors and clear her name as fast as she can.

Fame meets Rent is the pitch, and for many readers, that’ll be enough.

Set in 1996, this story follows 15-year-old Danny, whose dream is to escape his challenging family life in Staten Island by attending the LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts, and he’s been invited to an audition.

What Danny didn’t anticipate was how talented and how competitive his classmates there would be. And while he has achieved one of his dreams for being on stage, he can’t help but wonder as he navigates this new environment, his family difficulties, and a new–real, meaningful–friendship, whether or not those dreams are serving him the way they once did. Where does he belong, anyway?

There once was a luxurious hotel deep in the Everglades that catered to every whim of the elite. But one night, a mysterious fire burned it down, and one person died. The elite have always blamed it on the local dock workers. With the hotel’s complete disappearance into the wetlands, though, no real investigation took place. Still, the locals’ reputation was forever damaged.

So when a hurricane unearths the remains of the hotel, the questions are back. Noa and her friends, locals who have always wanted to clear their ancestors’ names and reputations, are insisting that the truth be discovered. It won’t be easy because the rich keep pushing back, and their power over others is significant. But perhaps the help of a son of one of the wealthy elite will be key to justice.

This one’s getting Outer Banks and White Lotus comps.

Dru is a soccer star. She’s also considered the boyfriend launcher–whenever she is in a relationship, it doesn’t last long before there’s a breakup, and the next person her former partner dates becomes a long-term and near-perfect relationship.

So when Kai asks Dru out, she knows she can’t say no. She doesn’t want to launch him away. Instead, she devises a plan to discover what it is about dating her that leads her partners elsewhere and for longer.

For 24 days, Dru won’t be dating anyone. She asks her best friend, Winston, to fake-date her and provide feedback on what their relationship is like. That’ll help her figure things out for the next real partner.

Except 24 days isn’t much time, and now, Dru has more questions than answers. Perhaps she’s limited herself to what the perfect partner is–and that she may indeed be someone’s ideal someone.

Kindling—young elite warriors who wielded magic had power so strong that it killed them when it was used—used to fight wars. But with the war over, Kindling have been outcasts.

There’s still violence around. There is also a history of trauma. So when a village is under threat, the seven Kindling see their opportunity to bring their powers to the fore once again.

Except that the war they’re engaged in won’t just be on the ground. It’ll be with themselves, their histories, and their legacies, too.

Natalie is on a summer class trip to Greece, and while she’s ignoring her new diagnosis of having obsessive-compulsive disorder, she’s feeling okay alongside her best friend, Liam.

It doesn’t take long for Natalie to develop feelings for Melanie, the Greek teacher’s daughter. Those feelings are making this summer especially exciting, and Natalie is enjoying several off-the-books trips with Melanie around the country.

But as much as Natalie loves these new feelings, she can’t help but continue to overthink them. Perhaps ignoring what OCD does and doesn’t do for her wasn’t the best idea–and possibly spending time understanding this diagnosis will make the feelings budding between her and Melanie even more meaningful.
