Book Description
Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and A. S. King's Still Life with Tornado, this story of parallel time lines cleverly explores how our choices can change and shape us--as well as the ways in which choices don't change the core of our being at all. When Chris Schweitzer takes a hit of whippets and passes out face first on the cement, his nose isn't the only thing that changes forever. Instead of staying home with his friends for the last summer after high school, he's shipped off to live with his famous physicist but royal jerk of a father to prove he can "play by the rules" before Dad will pay for college. Or . . . not. In an alternate time line, Chris's parents remain blissfully ignorant about the accident, and life at home goes back to normal--until it doesn't. A new spark between his two best (straight) friends quickly turns Chris into a (gay) third wheel, and even worse, the truth about the whippets incident starts to unravel. As his summer explodes into a million messy pieces, Chris wonders how else things might have gone. Is it possible to be jealous of another version of yourself in an alternate reality that doesn't even exist? With musings on fate, religion, parallel universes, and the best way to eat a cinnamon roll, Me Myself & Him examines how what we consider to be true is really just one part of the much (much) bigger picture. "Wildly ingenious,...altogether, the novel's a winner in this and any other universe."-Booklist, Starred Review "Tebbetts creates entertaining dual narratives...[and] enjoyable Easter eggs."-Publishers Weekly "An engaging story that examines love, relationships, and the different paths one's life can take...[perfect] for fans of Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli's What if It's Us, Bill Konigsberg's The Music of What Happens, and Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything."--SLJ

Book Description
A bad boy Japanese biker. A drop-dead gorgeous gothic libertine. Both hot for the same woman, but what she desires is for them to want each other. As the designer for an opulent gothic wedding, Remy Davies is under pressure. There’s the over-stressed bride, a trinity of vampire-obsessed bridesmaids, a wayward groom, and then there’s the best man… Silk looks as if he was drawn by a manga artist - beautiful, exotic, and with a predatory sexuality. She has to have him, in her bed, and between the pages of her new catalogue. Remy is about to launch herself into the alternative fashion world, and Silk is going sell it for her whether he knows it or not. But Silk is nobody’s toy, and for all his androgyny, he’s determinedly heterosexual. Pity, since Remy’s biggest fantasy is to see him making out with her sort-of-boyfriend, Japanese biker, Takeshi. You, Him, & Me is a standalone bisexual MMF ménage. If you like quirky characters, goths, high-drama, castles, dodgy poetry, and angst, then you’ll love Madelynne Ellis’s yaoi-inspired romance. *Previously published as Dark Designs by Virgin Books (Black Lace).

Book Description
Nidali, the rebellious daughter of an Egyptian-Greek mother and a Palestinian father, narrates the story of her childhood in Kuwait, her teenage years in Egypt (to where she and her family fled the 1990 Iraqi invasion), and her family's last flight to Texas. Nidali mixes humor with a sharp, loving portrait of an eccentric middle-class family, and this perspective keeps her buoyant through the hardships she encounters: the humiliation of going through a checkpoint on a visit to her father's home in the West Bank; the fights with her father, who wants her to become a famous professor and stay away from boys; the end of her childhood as Iraq invades Kuwait on her thirteenth birthday; and the scare she gives her family when she runs away from home. Funny, charming, and heartbreaking, A Map of Home is the kind of book Tristram Shandy or Huck Finn would have narrated had they been born Egyptian-Palestinian and female in the 1970s.

Book Description
Putting back the pieces of her life slowly, encouraging people to love unconditionally but never forget to love you first, even when difficult situations arise and it seems almost impossible to deal with. I've learned to deal, feel and heal; deal during these times which have came of most importance. It will sustain you while facing unbearable challenges in ones life, while thinking I would never be able to endure, or get through, suddenly there was a light. Faith and courage will go a long way, until that season is over, and a renewal of one self takes place. I am a sensitive person with a great personality and a need for people; I am sociable, loving, and easy to get along with most of the time. However, I still have feelings when it comes to matters of the heart. Be encouraged and face everything and recover, just as I have, even when the darkest moments shattered my life, and mixed, unclear emotions are running ramped in your mind, and they are all over the place, in many places as well, but going different directions. Ultimately knowing the most difficult journey is about to be defeated with faith, courage and participation. I still have the will to love.
