SUMMARY:Misa Sugiura\, Claire Kann\, and Jared Reck
DESCRIPTION:Three fabulous authors.\nThree amazing new summer reads.\nJoin us for The Marvelous Proclamations of Love and Other Doughnut Disasters Extravaganza and celebrate the launch of your new summer favorites.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMisa Sugiura is the author of It’s Not Like It’s a Secret\, which won the Asian/Pacific American Award for YA Literature and This Time Will Be Different\, which was the HarperCollins Children’s Books Lead Read. Her new book\, Love and Other Natural Disasters is a delightfully disastrous queer YA rom-com \nWhen Nozomi Nagai pictured the ideal summer romance\, a fake one wasn’t what she had in mind. That was before she met the perfect girl. Willow is gorgeous\, glamorous\, and…heartbroken? And when she enlists Nozomi to pose as her new girlfriend to make her ex jealous\, Nozomi is a willing volunteer. Because Nozomi has a master plan of her own: one to show Willow she’s better than a stand-in\, and turn their fauxmance into something real. But as the lies pile up\, it’s not long before Nozomi’s schemes take a turn toward disaster…and maybe a chance at love she didn’t plan for. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClaire Kann is the author of Let’s Talk About Love and If It Makes You Happy. Her exuberant new book\, The Marvelous\, follows six teens locked together in a mansion\, contending for a life-changing cash prize in a competition run by a reclusive heiress. \nEveryone thinks they know Jewel Van Hanen. Heiress turned actress turned social media darling who created the massively popular video-sharing app\, Golden Rule. After mysteriously disappearing for a year\, Jewel makes her dramatic return with an announcement: she has chosen a few lucky Golden Rule users to spend an unforgettable weekend at her private estate. But once they arrive\, Jewel ingeniously flips the script: the guests are now players in an elaborate estate-wide game. And she’s tailored every challenge and obstacle to test whether they have what it takes to win. Told from the perspective of three players–Nicole: the new queen of Golden Rule; Luna: Jewel’s biggest fan; and Stella: a brilliant outsider–this novel will charm its way into your heart and keep you guessing how it all ends because money isn’t the only thing at stake. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJared Reck is the author of A Short History of the Girl Next Door His new book Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love an alternately funny and heartbreaking story about food trucks\, festivals\, and first loves. \nIt’s easy to look at high school senior Oscar Olsson and think: lost. He hates school\, struggles to read\, and wants nothing to do with college. But Oscar knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. Oscar and Farfar\, the Swedish grandfather who’s raised him\, run a food truck together\, and Oscar wants to finish school so he can focus on the food truck full-time. It’s easy to look at Mary Louise (Lou for short) Messinger and think: driven. AP everything\, valedictorian in her sights\, and Ivy league college aspirations. When Lou hijacks Oscar’s carefully crafted schedule of independent studies and time in the Culinary Lab\, Oscar is roped into helping Lou complete her over-ambitious\, resume-building service project-reducing food waste in their school. While Lou stands to gain her Girl Scout Gold Award\, Oscar will be faced with uneaten school apples and countless hours with a girl he can’t stand. With the finish line in sight\, a relationship he never expected\, and festival season about to begin\, the unthinkable happens\, and Oscar’s future is anything but certain.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Martha Cooley and Anne Germanacos
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, June 14 at 6pm PT when Martha Cooley discusses her latest novel\, Buy Me Love\, with Anne Germanacos on Zoom!\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84120825850\n\nPraise for Buy Me Love\n“Buy Me Love is a terrific novel about the eternal confusions of money and our beloved notions of free will—as they play out for one woman with a lottery ticket. It has a superbly believable romance\, crooked family histories\, and a sneaky double plot. Readers drawn in by its sharpness and originality will find themselves richly rewarded by its striking turns.”\n—Joan Silber\, author of Improvement\n\n“Money—its seductive force\, the love of it\, its weird immaterial nature\, the good it can do\, and the risk that having it could obliterate who you are—is everyone’s suave adversary in Martha Cooley’s penetrating novel. She has drawn each of these characters with striking uniqueness. They could all use a bit more money. But it’s the possibility of suddenly having a lot more that fills the story with such danger and hope. If you got everything you wanted\, would you still want it? And would you still be you?”\n—Salvatore Scibona\, author of The Volunteer\n\nAbout Buy Me Love\nA novel about chance\, trust\, and a lottery ticket.\nDescribed by Publishers Weekly as Cooley’s “sharp latest”\, “Cooley has a sure hand in probing the intersection of artistic ambition and money. This hopeful take is sure to move readers.”\n\nIn Brooklyn\, New York\, in 2005\, Ellen Portinari buys a lottery ticket on a whim; not long after\, she realizes she’s won a hundred-million-dollar jackpot. With a month to redeem the ticket\, she tells no one but her alcoholic brother—a talented composer whose girlfriend has died in a terrorist attack abroad—about her preposterous good luck.\n\nAs the clock ticks\, Ellen caroms from incredulity to giddiness to dread as she tries to reckon with the potential consequences of her win. She becomes unexpectedly involved with a man and boy she’s met at her local gym. While she grapples with the burden of secret-keeping and the tug of a new intimacy\, a Brooklyn street artist named Blair Talpa is contending with her own challenges: a missing brother\, an urge to make art that will “derange orbits\,” and a lack of money.\n\nEn route to redeem the lottery ticket\, Ellen finds her prospects entwining by chance with Blair’s—which allows Ellen to reimagine luck’s relation to loss\, and the reader to revel in surprise.
