What about my latest find:




Roxie Prince - The Way We Go
Lindsay Picou is sixteen going on thirty. She's been forced to not only take care of herself, but to raise her little sister, too, because their mother, Gloria, is a part-time prostitute and a full-time wanderer.

Then, Gloria meets Ben. He not only changes her life for the better, but Lindsay's, too.

These changes come with a set of challenges Lindsay isn't equipped for; she has to learn to be a student, a friend, and a daughter. In short, she has to learn how to be herself in a completely new world, and she is forced to learn things about the people in her life that both hurt and free her.

Just when she starts to feel like she's getting a handle on things, she meets Micah, Ben's best friend, and things get a lot more complicated.

Found another:





Love is a friendship that has caught fire.

Connor Taylor was having a great life till his brother’s wedding invite arrived. He knew his brother didn’t want him there and there was no way he was going. But then comes the emotional drama, and he ends up in California.

Enter Harley Evans, the bride. Harley’s life clashes with Connor’s and boom – opposites attract. They make each other laugh. They make fun of each other. Their friendship blooms and love happens.

When these two worlds collide, Harley has to choose between the two brothers. Will she choose her fiancé or the guy whom she’s in love with head over heels?

Are these YA?

Oh no, that's the worst. I am always doing crap like that.

I have never in all of my 52 years lost a card, credit or debit, or even library!! :(

It's not a habit of mine but it's happened. I'm always putting them in different pockets in my purse, in my jeans, my coat. I don't know why I don't just always put it in the same place and keys are just my enemy, they are always hiding from me, those buggers.

I wish I could say that! I do the pocket thing like Erika!! Sending hugs your way Susan!! *hugs*

How about:


Jessi Kirby - Things We Know by Heart


In this unforgettable teen romance Quinn Sullivan falls for the recipient of her boyfriend's donated heart, forming an unexpected connection.

After Quinn's boyfriend, Trent, dies in an accident their junior year, she reaches out to the recipients of his donated organs in hopes of picking up the fragments of her now-unrecognizable life. But whoever received Trent's heart has mysteriously remained silent. The essence of a person, Quinn has always believed, is in the heart. If she finds Trent's, then in a way she still has a piece of him.

Risking everything to find peace once and for all, Quinn goes outside the system to track down nineteen-year-old Colton Thomas—a guy whose life has been forever changed by this priceless gift. But what starts as an accidental run-in quickly develops into more, sparking an undeniable attraction. She doesn't want to give in to it—especially since he has no idea how they're connected—but their time together has made Quinn feel alive again. No matter how hard she's falling for Colton, each beat of his heart reminds her of all she's lost . . . and all that remains at stake.
