Sara Foster runs away from home at sixteen, leaving behind the girl she once was, capable of trust and intimacy. Years later, in Los Angeles, she is a sought-after bartender, renowned as much for her brilliant cocktails as for the mystery that clings to her. Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern, yearning for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but unable to commit. On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena.

The morning Emilie and Sara first meet at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate. But soon Sara's old life catches up to her, upending everything she thought she wanted, just as Emilie has finally gained her own sense of purpose. Will their love be more powerful than their pasts?

At once exquisite and expansive, astonishing in its humanity and heart, Yerba Buena is a testament to the healing qualities of a shared meal, a perfectly crafted drink, a space we claim for ourselves. Nina LaCour’s adult debut novel is a love story for our time.

Mila is used to being alone.

Maybe that’s why she said yes. Yes to a second chance in this remote place, among the flowers and the fog and the crash of waves far below.

But she hadn’t known about the ghosts.

Newly graduated from high school, Mila has aged out of the foster care system. So when she’s offered a teaching job and a place to live on an isolated part of the Northern California coast, she immediately accepts. Maybe she will finally find a new home—a real home. The farm is a refuge, but it’s also haunted by the past. And Mila’s own memories are starting to rise to the surface.

Nina LaCour, the Printz Award–winning author of We Are Okay, delivers another emotional knockout with Watch Over Me about trauma and survival, chosen family and rebirth.

When everyone else goes to bed, the ones who stay up feel like they’re the only people in the world. As the hours tick by deeper into the night, the familiar drops away and the unfamiliar beckons. Adults are asleep, and a hush falls over the hum of daily life. Anything is possible.

It’s a time for romance and adventure. For prom night and ghost hunts. It’s a time for breaking up, for falling in love—for finding yourself.

Stay up all night with these thirteen short stories from bestselling and award-winning YA authors like Karen McManus, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nina LaCour, and Brandy Colbert, as they take readers deep into these rarely seen, magical hours.

Who knows you well? Your best friend? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? A stranger you meet on a crazy night? No one, really?

Mark and Kate have sat next to each other for an entire year, but have never spoken. For whatever reason, their paths outside of class have never crossed.

That is until Kate spots Mark miles away from home, out in the city for a wild, unexpected night. Kate is lost, having just run away from a chance to finally meet the girl she has been in love with from afar. Mark, meanwhile, is in love with his best friend Ryan, who may or may not feel the same way.

When Kate and Mark meet up, little do they know how important they will become to each other -- and how, in a very short time, they will know each other better than any of the people who are supposed to know them more.

Sa oled alati arvanud, et sul on vaja tohutult palju asju… Kuni sa lahkud, kaasas vaid telefon, rahakott ja ema foto. Marin p??ras oma vanale elule selja ja lahkus kellelegi s?nagi lausumata. Keegi ei tea t?de nende viimaste n?dalate kohta. Isegi tema parimal s?bral Mabelil pole aimu, mis juhtus. Kuigi Marin on p?genenud Californiast tuhandete miilide kaugusele New Yorki, igatseb ta maailma, mis vanaisa surma j?rel kokku varises. N??d, mitu kuud hiljem, on ta ?ksinda talvevaheajaks t?hjaks voolanud ?hiselamus ja ootab k?lla Mabelit. Marin peab silmitsi seisma k?igega, mis on ?tlemata j??nud, ning l?puks astuma vastu ?ksildusele, mis on end tema s?dames sisse seadnud. See kaunis, s?dantmurdvalt aus portree leinast tuletab meile meelde, kui oluline on hoida neid, keda armastame. „Meiega on k?ik korras” on Nina LaCouri viies romaan, mis v?itis Ameerika Raamatukogude ?hingu 2018. aasta parima noorteromaani auhinna – Michael L. Printz Awardi. Ilus nagu parimad m?lestused, kurb nagu parimad laulud, lootusrikas nagu su kaunimad unistused.
