A Longtime (and at one point Illegal) Crush: A Brother’s Best Friend, Forbidden Fruit, Romantic Comedy (affiliate link)
A crush that crushed her.
From the day Elsie’s big brother brought his friend Kye McBride over to their house, Elsie adored him.
When she was eight, she secretly blew kisses to him. When she was twelve, she sat on the stairs, unnoticed, and watched him escort another girl to prom. When she was a senior in high school, she walked into math class and found out he was her new math teacher.
Letting him know how she felt was a bad idea.
A very, very bad idea.
But with that much emotion fueling her, things were bound to go wrong. And they did.
After Elsie made a fool of herself, she spent the last two weeks of school avoiding him. In fact, she turned avoiding-Kye-at-all-costs into her life-long philosophy.

Ready for a killer road trip?
Evian Wavily will do just about anything to escape her predictable life and domineering grandmother — even sign up for a cross-country scavenger hunt. She’s expecting action, adventure, and possibly a sunburn. She didn’t agree to the ghost in her hotel room, or her best friend Rita sneaking into the race. But all’s forgiven — if not forgotten — they race across Kenya.
The plan is simple. Too bad nothing else is. Evian and Rita are plagued with luck that redefines bad. Flat tires and a faulty GPS are only the beginning in a race that includes pirates, poachers, explosive secrets, and a ticking clock. What could possibly go wrong?
Pretty much everything.

The Last Black Unicorn (affiliate link)
From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.
Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.
None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.
Lady Cassandra Fallon is finally ready to take control of her life and join her late mother’s investigative society. She’s more than confident she can do the job—even when her first case involves a potentially deadly scandal. What she’s not quite prepared for is her brother’s attractive (and increasingly distracting) friend acting as her self-appointed bodyguard…
When Lord Luke promised his best friend he’d keep an eye on Cassie, he meant it. But the brazen and entirely too alluring woman she’s become is a far cry from the mischievous, freckled girl she used to be. Luke knows a lowly viscount has no business longing for (or touching) a duke’s daughter. But against all reason…he does…
