Don't Look Back
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Samantha is a
stranger in her own life. Until the night she disappeared with her best friend,
Cassie, everyone said Sam had it all-popularity, wealth, and a dream boyfriend.
Sam has resurfaced, but she has no recollection of who she was or what happened to her that night. As she tries to piece together her life from before, she realizes it's one she no longer wants any part of. The old Sam took "mean girl" to a whole new level, and it's clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She's getting a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and she's falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for her-even if the old Sam treated him like trash.
But Cassie is still missing, and the facts about what happened to her that night isn't just buried deep inside of Sam's memory-someone else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet. All Sam wants is the truth, and if she can unlock her clouded memories of that fateful night, she can finally move on. But what if not remembering is the only thing keeping Sam alive?

The Geography of You and Me
by Jennifer E. Smith
Lucy and Owen meet
somewhere between the tenth and eleventh floors of a New York City apartment
building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide blackout. After they're
rescued, they spend a single night together, wandering the darkened streets and
marveling at the rare appearance of stars above Manhattan. But once the power
is restored, so is reality. Lucy soon moves to Edinburgh with her parents,
while Owen heads out west with his father.
Lucy and Owen's relationship plays out across the globe as they stay in touch
through postcards, occasional e-mails, and -- finally -- a reunion in the city
where they first met.
A carefully charted map of a long-distance relationship, Jennifer E. Smith's
new novel shows that the center of the world isn't necessarily a place. It can
be a person, too.
