From New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. Choi comes a funny and emotional story about two estranged sisters and how far they''ll go to save one of their lives - even if it means swapping identities. Jayne and June Baek are nothing alike. June''s three years older, a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and an equally soulless apartment (according to Jayne).

Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together now don''t want anything to do with each other. That is, until June gets cancer. And Jayne becomes the only one who can help her. Flung together by circumstance, housing woes, and family secrets, will the sisters learn more about each other than they''re willing to confront? And what if while helping June, Jayne has to confront the fact that maybe she''s sick, too?

They are coming for those who shine . . .
Don''t be deceived by Northaven''s prettiness: its white-wash houses, its quaint harbour, its picturesque sea views. In truth, its inhabitants are tearing each other apart. All because some have developed telepathy, or ''songlight'' as it is known. In other countries, songlight is celebrated, but in Brightland it is feared. All those with songlight are declared unhuman. Their powers stripped from them or brutally contained.
Elsa Crane has lived in grave danger since her songlight emerged. Only Rye Turner, her brother''s best friend, knows what she is. But then, whilst out on her fishing boat, Elsa is visited by the spectre of a girl from Brightlinghelm, whose songlight is even more powerful than her own . . . Kaira Casey brings visions from the city, showing that perhaps all is not well with the regime that would have them destroyed.
Then the great hero, Heron Mikane, returns from the war with death in his shadow, rebellion in his heart and news that will change Elsa''s life forever.
Sadie doesn't have to hold back in her email drafts because nobody
will ever read them ... that is, until someone sends them out.
Seventeen-year-old Sadie Wen is perfect on paper. It's a
reputation she's fought hard to earn at the highly prestigious
Woodvale Academy, and one she's determined to maintain
until graduation.
The trick to keeping her model-student-smile plastered on her
face at all times? She channels all her petty frustrations into her
email drafts. One for the math teacher who refused to round her
eighty-nine-point-nine percent up to ninety; one for the girl who
blatantly copied her science project and took the credit for it.
But most of her vehemently-worded emails are for her smug, infuriating
co-captain, Julius Gong, who's been the sharpest thorn
in her side ever since they were kids. Sadie never meant for
these emails to get out ... but now her whole life is about to change...
