Hearts Still Beating

by Brooke Archer

If you were glued to your sofa every Sunday this past winter, tuning into HBO’s “The Last of Us,” Brooke Archer’s debut novel is a must-read for 2024. Hearts Still Beating is a post-apocalyptic novel, but it’s also a queer love story about two teen girls who haven’t seen each other since their first kiss — and since one of them was infected by the deadly virus that swept the globe. But a treatment has been found, and as Mara and Rory reunite to heal and rebuild, their fledging love will be put to the test.

The Glass Girl

by Kathleen Glasgow

From the author of bestselling Girl in Pieces, comes the story of a teenage girl on the brink, and the bumpy road back to recovery. Bella is at breaking point. Everyone in her life needs something from her, and there’s only one thing that dulls the pain.   Alcohol smooths the sharp edges and makes it all so much easier. When Bella drinks, she doesn’t feel heartbroken over her ex. Or caught in the middle of her parents’ divorce. Or overcome with grief for her grandmother.   But one night changes everything. When she awakes in hospital with no memory of what happened, it’s time to face reality. And for Bella, that means rehab and the bumpy road to recovery.
