Earth to Alis
Alistair Woodson is a loner by choice. Since the traumatic night that ended his only friendship, he's isolated himself by letting his classmates believe he's a criminal and an arsonist, best to be avoided at all costs. But on his graduation trip across Paris, Switzerland, and Italy, Alis discovers that isolation isn't so easy to maintain in hostel rooms and cross-country trains. Soon he finds himself growing closer to classmates who were once strangers to him-namely the class clown, Craig Miltenberg, whose frustratingly good hair and cheerful disposition don't irritate Alis nearly as much as they should. Yet, as his deepening connections stir up painful reminders of his last doomed friendship, Alis continues to cope the only way he knows how: drowning out the pain on the inside by hurting himself on the outside.

Breathless
The boy next door has always made her breathless. Joey... I wouldn't say I ran away exactly--twenty-two is too old for that. I'd call it self-preservation. I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next door who has no clue I've loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat to his revolving bedroom door. My escape plan almost worked. Except I left one thing behind. Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and it's time to get it back. This time for good. Logan... I wouldn't say I've been lying this whole time--not about everything. Not about how much I miss my best friend, and definitely not about how pissed I am that she left with hardly a goodbye. She's the last person I ever expected to ghost me, and her absence left a gaping hole in my chest. When Joey Grayson steps off that bus, I know I'll do anything to keep her home, and that means finding out the truth. But I'm not sure how to tell her my truths when I'm living so many lies.
Surprise, Baby!
There's a fine line between lust and hate. I don't care that Drew Merritt spent the last year transforming himself from grungy slob to sexy playboy. With messy, dirty blond hair and gorgeous eyes, his looks aren't the problem. His mouth is. And the stupid things that come out of it. But after an emergency strands us together, and he does his damnedest to take care of me... Let's just say there's one thing we don't clash on. And it doesn't involve talking. I've despised Drew since I met him years ago. One weekend can't change us that much, can it? Spoiler alert: It doesn't. Except he left me a little keepsake. And in nine months, I'll have a surprise for Portland's most notorious player.
