Book Description
Me, my high school ex, and a five-star hotel room on reunion night. He can't break my heart twice, right? Oliver: It took me 7 years to forget my high school boyfriend, Luke, and just one night to-- You know what? Scratch that. It took me 7 years of pretending to forget Luke to convince myself that maybe going to my high school reunion was a good idea, that maybe I could show all the kids who'd bullied me just how little I cared about them, and show Luke how little I'd thought about him. Uh, news flash: it didn't work, and it didn't even take me a full night to realize how wrong I was. It took approximately 5 minutes of moonlit conversation in our high school parking lot (super romantic, I know) to figure that out--though I guess inviting Luke back to my hotel room, dragging him into bed, and then having a panic attack in the middle of the, uh, festivities didn't exactly help matters. And that would have been fine, honestly. Completely humiliating and a memory I would cringe over until my dying day, sure, but fine--if only I weren't stuck at home, helping my father with a health crisis and dodging Luke's calls--and my feelings about them. Luke's a player--he always has been. I know better than to get involved with him again. So how the hell do I get my heart to listen? "I'm not asking for much, really. Just you. Just every little thing about you. That's all I want." Luke: Oliver Luna. The guy's haunted me since high school. Oliver's the first person I ever fell in love with--and the last. He's the guy who showed me what I was made of--and it turns out, what I'm made of isn't pretty. I know I'm a jerk--which is why I don't date. I won't risk hurting anyone else the way that I hurt Oliver. And I've never forgiven myself. I guess that's why I decided to go to this reunion. I figured maybe, if I apologized, I'd be able to let Oliver go. Maybe I'd be able to stop thinking about him at 4 a.m., unable to sleep, googling him for the 10 millionth time. That's how it works, right? You say you're sorry and you get to move on? Only, first, Oliver tells me he's already moved on, and somehow that just makes me feel worse. Like, what the hell, heart? That's what you wanted, wasn't it? And then, just when I think I'll never see him again, Oliver lets his guard down, just a bit, and all I want to do is pull him into my arms and make his pain go away. Honestly, who even am I at this point? I have no idea how to fix all the pain I've caused. All I know is this: I'll die before I let Oliver walk out of my life again. Oliver Ever After is Book 3 in the 8 Million Hearts series. While each book can be read on its own, they're even more fun to read together. Oliver Ever After is a 135,000 word, second-chance romance full of snark, sweetness, and a healthy serving of steam. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.

Book Description
“Much like Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, M. L. Rio’s sparkling debut is a richly layered story of love, friendship, and obsession...will keep you riveted through its final, electrifying moments.” —Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest "Nerdily (and winningly) in love with Shakespeare...Readable, smart.” —New York Times Book Review On the day Oliver Marks is released from jail, the man who put him there is waiting at the door. Detective Colborne wants to know the truth, and after ten years, Oliver is finally ready to tell it. A decade ago: Oliver is one of seven young Shakespearean actors at Dellecher Classical Conservatory, a place of keen ambition and fierce competition. In this secluded world of firelight and leather-bound books, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingénue, extras. But in their fourth and final year, good-natured rivalries turn ugly, and on opening night real violence invades the students’ world of make-believe. In the morning, the fourth-years find themselves facing their very own tragedy, and their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, each other, and themselves that they are innocent. If We Were Villains was named one of Bustle's Best Thriller Novels of the Year, and Mystery Scene says, "A well-written and gripping ode to the stage...A fascinating, unorthodox take on rivalry, friendship, and truth."

Book Description
#1 New York Times bestseller A TIME Magazine Best Book of the Year A NPR Best Book of 2017 A Boston Globe Best Book of 2017 "Moments of human intimacy jostle with scenes that inspire cosmic awe, and the broad diversity of Jeffers's candy-colored humans...underscores the twin messages that 'You're never alone on Earth' and that we're all in this together."--Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "A true work of art."--BuzzFeed Oliver Jeffers, arguably the most influential creator of picture books today, offers a rare personal look inside his own hopes and wishes for his child--and in doing so gifts children and parents everywhere with a gently sweet and humorous missive about our world and those who call it home. Insightfully sweet, with a gentle humor and poignancy, here is Oliver Jeffers' user's guide to life on Earth. He created it specially for his son, yet with a universality that embraces all children and their parents. Be it a complex view of our planet's terrain (bumpy, sharp, wet), a deep look at our place in space (it’s big), or a guide to all of humanity (don’t be fooled, we are all people), Oliver's signature wit and humor combine with a value system of kindness and tolerance to create a must-have book for parents. Praise for Here We Are: -"A sweet and tender distillation of what every Earthling needs to know and might well spend a lifetime striving to achieve. A must-purchase for new parent shelves"--School Library Journal -"From the skies to the animal kingdom to the people of the world and lots of other beautifully rendered examples of life on Earth, Here We Are carries a simple message: Be kind." --NPR -"[An] enchanting gem of a children's book"--NBC's Today Show -"A must-have book for parents."--Gambit -"A celebration of people all shapes and sizes, and of the beauty and mystery of our Earth."--Booklist -"...a beautifully illustrated guide to living on Earth and being a good person."--Brightly -[Here We Are] is a tour through the land, the sea, the sky, our bodies; dioramas of our wild diversity....[Jeffers] is the master of capturing the joy in our differences."--New York Times Book Review
