Since her twin brother was diagnosed with leukemia at age nine, Parker has known that she'll attend Harvard, then become a doctor. But when she quits a prestigious summer internship to work at a pottery studio (and spend time with a guy from her childhood), Parker cautiously imagines a new future. Beautifully written, the novel sensitively portrays a complex sibling relationship.

YA
Dreamer and unlucky-in-love New Yorker Penelope finally finds the perfect object of affection in Keats: he's a cute, smart literature-lover who seems to like her back. Then trouble brews in her group of friends, including a maybe-romance with a longtime guy friend. While Penelope's aggressively quirky characterization and impetuous judgments feel forced, contemporary-romance fans will likely enjoy the social drama.
