YA
After being kicked out of ballet school for not meeting expectations, thirteen-year-old British girl Mouse reluctantly attends a ski trip in the French Alps. With a cute boy named Jack, new friends, a French pop star, and a trio of mean girls, the trip is more eventful than Mouse ever imagined. Mouse's and Jack's alternating perspectives capture the heady excitement of tween crushes, and the side characters are entertaining and authentic.

At a UK college's orientation, eighteen-year-old Phoebe befriends her high-school crush, Luke, and the two begin a relationship defined by missed connections and metaphorical ghosts from the past. It's a heartfelt, entertaining rom-com, with Luke's and Phoebe's alternating points of view providing authentic freshman-year perspectives about struggling to fit in, balancing school with social lives, and living away from home.

YA
Told in alternating narratives, soon-to-be college freshmen Hannah and Sam recount their bumbling love story, beginning in the bathroom at a party and defined by comical mishaps and missed connections. Both characters are relatable and charming in unique ways; the now-adult coauthors, whose own teenage relationship is the basis for this lightly raunchy rom-com, offer humorous insights into (non)traditional romance.
