Jayne and June Baek are nothing alike. June, three years older, is a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and a soulless apartment (according to Jayne). Jayne is an emotionally stunted, self-obsessed basket case living in squalor, with egregious taste in men, and needs to get to class to stop wasting Mom and Dad's money (if you ask June). Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York now want nothing to do with each other—until June gets cancer, and Jayne becomes the only one who can help her. Flung together by circumstance, housing woes, and family secrets, will the sisters learn more about each other than they're willing to confront? What if, while helping June, Jayne has to face the fact that maybe she's sick, too?

Permanent Record

On paper, college dropout Pablo Rind doesn't have much going for him. His graveyard shift at a twenty-four-hour deli in Brooklyn is a struggle, and he's deep in credit card debt, not to mention his student loans. Pop juggernaut Leanna Smart has enough social media followers to populate continents. The brand is unstoppable; she graduated from child stardom to become an international icon, living a queasy blur of private planes and aspirational hotel rooms. When Leanna and Pablo meet at 5:00 a.m. at the bodega in the dead of winter, it's absurd to think they'd be a thing. But as they discover who they are and how to defy everyone's expectations, Leanna and Pablo turn to each other, complicating everything.

Emergency Contact

For Penny Lee, high school was a total non-event. Her friends were okay, her grades fine, and while she managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn't know anything about her. Heading to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it's seventy-nine miles and a million light years away from everything she can't wait to leave behind. Sam's stuck—literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there on a mattress in an empty storage room. He knows this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will inspire him as a famous movie director, but right now, the seventeen bucks in his bank account and his dying laptop are testing him. When Sam and Penny cross paths, it's less a meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch via text, becoming digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the weirdness of seeing each other.
