Book Description

In this “hidden gem” from the author of Do Opposites Attract?, a supermodel takes the fashion world by storm, but just may fall for the boy next door (Long and Short Reviews). Lizzie Donavue went from being the sister of his best friend to the girl Nick Templeton most wants to kiss. On her birthday, he finally summons up the courage to make his move. But it looks like Nick’s missed his chance when he discovers that Lizzie has been offered a modeling contract, which will take her away to the glamorous fashion scenes of New York and Los Angeles. Nick is forced to watch from the sidelines as the gawky teenager he knew is transformed into Elizabeth Donavue: top model and ultimate English rose pin-up, forever caught in a whirlwind of celebrity parties with the next up-and-coming Hollywood bad boy by her side. But then Lizzie’s star-studded life comes crashing down around her, and a guy like Nick could be just what she needs. Will she take a chance on him? Or is he just too damn nice? “Too Damn Nice explores love, loss, grief and being able to forgive yourself. It’s a brilliant book and I really enjoyed it. Nick is my new book crush. I’ll take nice over bad boy any day!” —Brook Cottage Books “A book filled with love, laughter, tears and misunderstandings . . . It just goes to prove that Kathryn Freeman doesn’t write superficial chicklit, it’s as deep and thought-provoking as you want to be.” —The Book Magnet

Book Description

Two former best friends return to their college reunion to find that they’re being circled by someone who wants revenge for what they did ten years before—and will stop at nothing to get it—in this “propulsive” (Megan Miranda, bestselling author of The Girl from Widow Hills) psychological thriller. A lot has changed since Ambrosia Wellington graduated from college, and she’s worked hard to create a new life for herself. But then an invitation to her ten-year reunion arrives in the mail, along with an anonymous note that reads, “We need to talk about what we did that night.” It seems Ambrosia’s past—and the people she thoughts she’d left there—aren’t as buried as she believed. Amb can’t stop fixating on what she did or who she did it with: larger-than-life Sloane “Sully” Sullivan, Amb’s former best friend, who could make anyone do anything. At the reunion, Amb and Sully receive increasingly menacing messages, and it becomes clear that they’re being pursued by someone who wants more than just the truth of what happened that first semester. This person wants revenge for what they did and the damage they caused—the extent of which Amb is only now fully understanding. And it was all because of the game they played to get a boy who belonged to someone else and the girl who paid the price. Alternating between the reunion and Amb’s freshman year, The Girls Are All So Nice Here is a “chilling and twisty” (Book Riot) “page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly) about the brutal lengths girls can go to get what they think they’re owed, and what happens when the games we play in college become matters of life and death.

Sometimes the answers we are looking for are hidden in our own stories. The night before the dance performance that could determine Gracie Wilder’s career, her father unexpectedly dies, leaving behind a curious gift with ties to a myth told to her as a child. Desperate to understand her father’s unspoken words, she puts her greatest dream on the line for an opportunity to remember the childhood she tried so hard to forget. A few chance encounters with Beau Griffin, a bighearted building contractor, pull Gracie closer to her past. Griffin is no stranger to grief. Most recently, he has been held responsible for the demise of a Chicago building that harbors the cornerstones of his own history. In a moment of faith or folly, the unlikely pair follow the origin of Gracie’s childhood memories to Old Montreal. There, they discover family secrets that will challenge the narratives that have defined Gracie’s life. And Griffin will have to confront his own personal myths if he is to build room for Gracie in his future. Together, they must heal their history backward in order to move forward. Poignant and uplifting, Threads of Us explores the self-discovery that comes to us not despite our hardships but because of them and the mysterious connections that help us recreate ourselves.
