#hardcover#youngadult#ya#multipleperspectives#yaromance#teen#teenromance#teenfiction Party (paperback): Tonight's the night. Everyone will be there. Will you? Graduation in Santa Barbara, a house near the beach, and no parents! That can mean only one thing: PARTY! But not everyone's in a partying mood. Beckett is only going to confirm she is invisible after having spent two years caring for her mother; Morrigan seeks revenge on her ex- for having the gall to NOT sleep with her; Azize is trying to make a friend -- any friend; and Anthony's ready to pop off on anyone who mentions his maimed, combat-veteran brother. As the night quickly spirals out of control, eleven unique characters -- all of whom are familiar to anyone who's been a high school student -- crash, collide, and recombine in ways none of them saw coming when a brutal act of xenophobic violence brings the party to a halt. Graduation is a time of change. But after tonight, no one will ever be the same. Manic Pixie Dream Girl (hardcover): You think you know her—the girl who’s a little quirky, sort of sexy, just out of reach, but always on someone’s mind. Everyone likes to talk about her—the manic pixie dream girl. In stunningly raw, relatable prose that upends the idea of the manic pixie dream girl trope, Tom Leveen does more than just talk: he tells the story of a less-than-perfect “dream girl” and the equally flawed boy who worships her. Tyler has been crushing on Becky since he started high school, but didn’t get the guts to talk to her until long after he already found himself dating Sydney, a quintessential good girl whose patience for Tyler’s unrequited love is thinning. After publishing a story about Becky in a prestigious magazine, Tyler decides tonight — halfway through their senior year — he’s going to come clean to Becky, with whom he has become good friends. But “Open For Business Becca” has some not-so-secret secrets Tyler’s been denying, and there’s no way Tyler’s dream girl can ever be what he needs her to be. Instead, he just might discover how far he’s willing to go to break his own heart.
