YA
Lucy and Jesse have a brief whirlwind romance in Italy; he stays and she returns to the U.S. for college, missing Jesse and unexcited to be majoring in business instead of theater. By auditioning for a play and dating again, Lucy learns to follow her heart. A fresh re-imagining of Forster's A Room with a View for fans of Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins.

YA
A hidden letter catapults Chelsea Price on a journey to discover the truth behind her mother Catherine's fourteen-year disappearance. Set within the NYC underground punk scene, the mystery unravels in alternating narratives from the mother and daughter's perspectives separated by twenty years. Packed with action and romance, Lindner's interesting, ultra-modern retelling of Wuthering Heights may pique established Brontë lovers' curiosities.

YA
Recasting Jane Eyre as a romance between a college-drop-out nanny and an aging bad-boy rocker, the story demonstrates why updating classics is a risky proposal. While Lindner pays scrupulous attention to Brönte's plotting, the new Jane is much less spirited and the new Mr. Rochester is even more self-absorbed than the originals. Nevertheless, it's a quick and decently crafted read.
