YA
During their senior year in high school, a diverse group of four friends decides to create New Year's resolutions for one another. What follows is a year of life lessons on friendship and identity, told from each of the character's perspectives. Teens will relate to the well-developed characters and their (mostly predictable) struggles.

YA
Julie, who's suffering from an unknown trauma, is volunteering in New Orleans with her "suffocating" Christian youth group. After she bolts into Mid-Summer Mardi Gras and takes up with a handsome local banjo player and his crew, wandering leads to healing and whirlwind romance as a tropical storm draws closer. A wild, sensitive, and vibrant love song to New Orleans, Shakespeare, and adolescence.
