Penny quit the school play and shunned her drama-nerd friends to hide her struggles with her alcoholic mother. When a lightning strike leaves now-icy-popular-girl Penny with no memory of the past year, she has a chance to start again. Penny's mean-girl phase could be better justified, but it's otherwise an entertaining story of authentic family struggles, mended friendships, and budding romance.

Burgeoning astronomer Sarah, sixteen, decides it's time to stop observing the world and start living in it. She uses her summer on Cape Cod to experiment: what would happen if she acts like her popular sister, Scarlett? Sarah lands hot college boy Andrew, but a lie might make their romance doomed from the start. A solid summer romance perfect for beach reading.
