An utterly compelling will-they-won't-they slow-burn queer romance from the author of THE GIRLS I'VE BEEN. Penny and Tate clash. Their mothers have an epic friendship that's spanned decades, deaths and divorces. So, since they were toddlers, the girls have always been... a reluctant, quarrelling twosome. But when a medical event forces their moms to move in together, Penny and Tate call a truce. There's just one little hitch: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing. It just... happens. They've never talked about it. They've always ignored each other after. But now, the girls find themselves living across the landing from each other. And when an almost kiss finally goes from almost to I am now wearing your lip gloss, they have to face the music... right? The Girls I've Been is due to be made into a feature film by Netflix.

Because in order to help their families recover physically, emotionally, and financially, the Moms combine their households the summer before senior year. So Penny and Tate make a pact: They'll play nice. Be the drama-free daughters their mothers need through this scary and hopeful time. There's only one little hitch in their plan: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing. It's just this confusing thing that keeps happening. You know, from time to time. For basically their entire teenaged existence. They've never talked about it. They've always ignored it in the aftermath. But now they're living across the hall from each other. And some things--like their kisses--can't be almosts forever.

Girls I've Been (soon to be a Netflix film).Nora O'Malley has survived . . .
senior year, that is. School's over, but her life isn't, which is weird since

enjoy summer before her (possibly) imminent demise, Nora plans a backpacking
trip with Iris and Wes. And Wes's girlfriend tags along. Amanda's nice, so
it's not a huge issue. Until she gets taken. Or rather, mis-taken . . . for
Nora, that is. Now they're deep in the woods. Raymond has a hostage. Nora has
no leverage. Iris is carving spears out of sticks. And Wes is building booby
traps. It'll take all of them to make it out alive. But someone is lying.
