The Summer of Perfect Mistakes by Cynthia St. Aubin
You can’t have the breakthrough without the breakdown…
No one in Spring Valley recognises Lark Hockney anymore. They only remember who she used to be. Homecoming queen. Valedictorian. And one half of Spring Valley High’s golden couple. But Lark knows that her once-perfect life wasn’t really perfect. Hell, it wasn’t even her. And in one evening, she lost it…and that perfect girl is gone forever.
Now Lark’s trying to put the fragile pieces back together, with no idea of where to start.

Love Grudge by Chantal Fernando
Their love will ignite a war in this Romeo And Juliet retelling from gripping New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando.
Romeo
I was born to rule the Devils MC. Every decision, every move I made was to further that goal — until I met Julianna. Falling in love with the granddaughter of the man who ripped our club apart was not in the cards, especially not now, when it’s finally time for me to take over as president. Duty to the MC comes first, but that battle cry feels empty when it means giving up the woman I love.
Julianna
My greatest sin was being born a woman. I’ve proven my worthiness in spades, but my father still won’t let me lead the Angels MC on my own. I’m nothing but his pawn, to be sold off to the successor of his choice. He wants me to fall in line, give up Romeo and keep the peace, but my loyalty comes with a price.
I’ll fight for what I want, even if it means going to war.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors
New York is slipping from Cleo’s grasp. Sure, she’s at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn’t even have money for cigarettes.
But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank’s life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo’s lacks.
He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art—and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now.
Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that’s Cleo’s best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank’s financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off.
Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year’s Eve party changes everything, for better or worse.

So when Jenna makes a desperate wish to become her cousin, the last thing she expects is for it to come true — literally.

I used to worry about playing footy and whether my first kiss would be with a boy or a girl. I used to worry about having enough time after school and putting my little cousins to bed to go for a run with my best friend, Loz, and whether she’d ever look at me the way she looks at my brother, Poss.
But a new girl came to school and there’s something about her … I suddenly got the courage to stand up to our history teacher about teaching our true history with books written by blackfullas. And somehow she did too!
At first we were on top of the world – and we might even have a chance to change it just a little bit. But now I’m banned from footy and I wonder … is it all going to be worth it?
