Heartbreak Boys by Simon James Green
About the Book:
When their ex-boyfriends get together and start Instagramming a disgustingly perfect summer of love, Jack and Nate decide to concoct a mutual Insta-worthy summer adventure of their own to prove they’re just fine and everything’s great.
Of course, it’s hard to have an epic summer road trip when they’re stuck in a van with Nate’s mid-life crisis-bound parents and his annoying younger sister. And it’s been years since Jack and Nate have said more than a few sentences to each other. But their followers don’t have to know any of that.
How hard could faking the high life be? Posting as @TheHeartBreakBoys, the duo stumbles into one hilarious situation after another—and each discover that maybe the cure for heartbreak has been the boy riding next to him all along.

So, This is Love by Tracy Andreen
About the Book:
Finley and Arthur are back at boarding school and neither quite knows where the other stands—are they couple? Are they not a couple? What does one magical Christmas Eve kiss in Oklahoma mean for their relationship status? This confusion isn’t helped by the re-entry of old enemies into their school lives, especially ones that may or may not be crushing on Arthur. Finley is at a loss when navigating the complexities of her new (maybe) relationship, which could very well turn into love. . . if she doesn’t blow it.
So, This Is Love is a perfect read for the Valentine’s Day season, or for anyone looking for a delightful romantic comedy that has just a dash of drama. Once again, Tracy Andreen has proven that no one writes a holiday rom-com like her.

Stalwart: A story of Stripling Warriors by Anela Braun
About the Book:
The fathers of the Ammonite tribe have made an oath that they’d never take up weapons of war again. However, their protectorates and allied tribe, the Nephites, are at war, and are in need of more troops. The Ammonites have always given a portion of their food to the Nephites to help support their army, but the fathers feel it might not be enough and consider breaking their oath, though the Nephite general Helaman does not wish them to.
Brothers Mahalaleel and Elijah convince their fellow young men to volunteer in their fathers’ place, despite their youth. They are accepted by Helaman’s army and leave their village for the first time to join the fray. Back in the village, their friends Tashir and Sarai’ha navigate the new dynamic of their war-depleted village and what lies in store for them as the war continues to wage and they worry and care for families at home.
