The Dead of Summer
Summary
Adults insist that you never completely remember your childhood. They say that as the years pass by, those little details that once captured your undivided attention become fuzzy around the edges. As time marches on, the sharp memories start crinkling up like a piece of newspaper burning in a campfire; first you can just make out the sentences, and then, the white hot fire laps at the pages, blurring them and obscuring the actual words. Until all that you are left with is a fine white ash and the vague memories of what used to be. As long as I’m breathing, I know I will never forget my 16th summer. It’s been years, but that summer is etched finely in my memory. That was the summer I finally kissed a boy, found the body in the basement, and discovered that keeping secrets just might kill you. And believe me, that isn’t something you forget too easily, no matter how hard you try. And I sure as hell have tried. Kennedy Ryan is a normal 15-year-old girl with a best friend who tells her what to do, an agoraphobic mother, a crush on an inappropriate boy...and a body in her basement. Totally normal, right?

The 8 Mistakes of Amy Maxwell
Summary
Amy Maxwell has four kids, a useless husband, and crusted applesauce on her yoga pants that haven’t seen the inside of a gym in over a decade. She’s convinced her teenage daughter is up to no good, her 10-year-old can’t stop chattering in her ear, and her oldest son has befriended a teenage boy twice his age who is a tad bit strange. And don’t even get her started on having a toddler when you’re in your late 30s. She just can’t keep up. Forget tired; she’s exhausted and feeling unfulfilled, dissatisfied, and like a disappointment to everyone: her kids, her parents, and most of all, herself. To relieve her stress, Amy finds herself fantasizing about everything from the pool boy next door to finding out that her daughter was switched at birth. She can’t help her thoughts, but she figures, if they’re in her head, they can’t hurt anyone else, right? When Jason, a very sexy 40-something year old single father moves in across the street, Amy finds her fantasy world has gone into overdrive. When Amy and her 13-year-old daughter, Allie, stumble upon the body of their neighbor, shot to death in her living room, Amy finds herself thrown together with Jason in the most unpredictable way. Amy finds herself bumbling around Jason, trying desperately to stop her fantasies and her underlying attraction towards him as this who done it mystery slowly unfolds. And Amy soon realizes, nobody is who she thinks they are...even Amy herself.
