YA
Bex does not consider herself a survivalist. She's "about the prep, not the politics or racist bullshit"; a "realist who plans to survive" whatever disaster occurs. But when closeted lesbian Bex meets Lucy and they start a relationship, Bex's world becomes infinitely more complicated. Readers are sure to be drawn in by Bex's unusual perspective and her heart-wrenching, timely story.

Since his brother T.J. was killed in Iraq, Matt is laden with anger and pain. He lights out on a road trip to explore unknown pieces of T.J.'s life; he confronts unexpected truths but gains the friendship of others who loved T.J., too. Kokie's well-crafted debut depicts a military family with admirable complexity while tracing one young man's hard-fought coming of age.
