Sixteen-year-old Samantha D'Angelo has death on the brain. Her summer internship at the local newspaper has her writing obituaries instead of soaking up the sun at the beach. Between Shelby, Sam's boy-crazy best friend; her boss Harry, a true-blue newspaper man; and AJ, her fellow "intern scum" (aka the cute drummer for a band called Love Gas), Sam has her hands full. But once she figures out what—or who—is the best part of her summer, will she mess it all up? As Sam learns her way around both the news room and the real world, she starts to make some momentous realizations about politics, ethics, her family, romance, and most important—herself.

Featuring two captivating romances, this collection blends the charm of summertime adventures with heartfelt connections. Readers will enjoy the intertwining stories of young love and self-discovery, as characters navigate the highs and lows of relationships during the carefree summer months. The engaging narratives promise to resonate with fans of contemporary YA fiction, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a delightful escape filled with romance and laughter.

Summer on the New Jersey shore offers Quinn a new start at life and love, but only if she can come to terms with her past Graduation can't come soon enough. Desperate for a fresh start, Quinn is eager to escape to her aunt's house on the New Jersey shore for the summer…away from teenage drama and having to answer everyone's questions about "what comes next" after high school. Quinn can't bear to focus on the future. She doesn't even think she deserves one—not after her best friend died in a car accident that Quinn feels responsible for. But when Quinn meets Malcolm, a musician who has been trying to escape his own demons, she starts to believe in second chances.
