Summary
"Jackie was different. She didn’t do clandestine meetings behind the bleachers or weed-induced makeouts in Nat’s dingy bedroom. She did abstinence and dinner dates with the all-american boyfriend her parents chose. The Jaqueline Elizabeth Taylor everyone knew would never kiss a girl in the locker room after dark. But the one Nat had the privilege to witness, had."
Or...
Natalie Scatorccio has been secretly down bad for Jackie Taylor for years; pining and yearning over a girl who has it all. But when she kisses Nat in the locker room after dark; everything changes.

Summary
“We were talking about Crushgers,” Nat hissed, pinching Van’s arm subtly so she would shut the fuck up.
“What’s that?” asked Lottie, looking between the two of them.
“The confessions page on Facebook,” Nat explained quickly. “People send in shit about their campus crushes mostly, hence Crushgers, but they also use it to vent or talk shit. It’s dumb.”
“It’s vapid,” said Shauna.
“It’s entertaining!” said Jackie.
And, hey. It might be dumb. It might be vapid. It might be entertaining.
But it might also be life-changing.

Summary
Nat Scatorccio left Wiskayok with nothing but a full tank and a string of questionable life choices. He didn’t exactly mean to end up in New York—well, he did—but he definitely didn’t expect to run into a teammate of all people. One unexpected encounter turns into a ripple: old teammates reappear, new connections form, and the city unfolds in strange, unpredictable ways.
Big cities have an odd way of pulling people back together. And somewhere between late-night conversations and his own messy heart, Nat grows into someone he never thought he could be. Nat starts to navigate the complexities of adulthood, friendship, and self-discovery. As familiar faces resurface and the past intertwines with the present, he realizes that even amidst the noise, some things—some people—still make sense.

Summary
"Nat lets out a breathless laugh, eyes fluttering open. “You think you’ve got me figured out already?”
Lottie leans down, nose brushing Nat’s, lips barely touching. “I told you at the bar,” she whispers. “You want me to wreck you.”
Nat just groans, dragging her nails lightly down Lottie’s sides, breath coming quicker now, every nerve in her body on high alert. “Yeah,” she whispers. “Maybe I do.”
And fuck, she does. More than she can admit."
Or
Natalie Scatorccio is the lead singer of an indie band, Clam Slam—addicted to drugs, and the feeling of being wanted.
Lottie is everything she’s not: clean, calm, controlled... and far too interested.
It starts with a show. It doesn’t stop there.

Summary
“Have we met before?” Natalie asks.
Lottie pauses. Then she smiles.
A dimple sticks out. It’s almost charming, until she opens her mouth:
“Have you ruined my car before?”
OR
Natalie's plans to finally leave Wiskayok are upended when Lottie crashes into her car and hires her as her personal driver to investigate a missing person’s case.
