Famous in a Small Town by Emma Mills
For Sophie, small town life has never felt small. With her four best friends—loving, infuriating, and all she could ever ask for—she can weather any storm. But when Sophie’s beloved Acadia High School marching band is selected to march in the upcoming Rose Parade, it’s her job to get them all the way to LA. Her plan? To persuade country singer Megan Pleasant, their Midwestern town’s only claim to fame, to come back to Acadia to headline a fundraising festival.
The only problem is that Megan has very publicly sworn never to return.
What ensues is a journey filled with long-kept secrets, hidden heartbreaks, and revelations that could change everything—along with a possible fifth best friend: a new guy with a magnetic smile and secrets of his own.
Happy last day of Hanukkah to all who celebrate! 🕎

How many times have we been told: "Don't judge a book by its cover"? And while we try to live by this rule in all ways, sometimes you just have to add a book with a pretty cover to your bookshelves. So, if you (or possibly a friend!) are like us and occasionally feel the need to ignore the summary and just BUY THE PRETTY THING ALREADY, here's a list of book recommendations for you!
GREAT NEWS BOOK LOVERS! One of the cutest, nerdiest, and most wonderful books ever is FINALLY HERE. Don't miss FOOLISH HEARTS by Emma Mills! (And be sure to check out our interview with Emma 💖)
First & Then by Emma Mills
Devon Tennyson wouldn't change a thing. She's happy watching Friday night games from the bleachers, silently crushing on best friend Cas, and blissfully ignoring the future after high school. But the universe has other plans. It delivers Devon's cousin Foster, an unrepentant social outlier with a surprising talent for football, and the obnoxiously superior and maddeningly attractive star running back, Ezra, right where she doesn't want them-first into her P.E. class and then into every other aspect of her life.
Pride and Prejudice meets Friday Night Lights in this contemporary novel about falling in love- with the unexpected boy, with a new brother, and with yourself.

@yainterrobang revealed the cover of Emma Mills’ third YA novel, Foolish Hearts, on their blog today — go check it out! (It’s really, really, really PRETTY and we LOVE IT.)
This post on the This Adventure Ends blog tour stop is all about discovery. Through books we can discover new places, people and things about ourselves just like Sloane does in the book when she meets Vera and Gabe.
This Adventure Ends is out 10/4.
Sloane isn’t expecting to fall in with a group of friends when she moves from New York to Florida—especially not a group of friends so intense, so in love, so all-consuming. Yet that’s exactly what happens.
Sloane becomes closes to Vera, a social-media star who lights up any room, and Gabe, Vera’s twin brother and the most serious person Sloane’s ever met. When a beloved painting by the twins’ late mother goes missing, Sloane takes on the responsibility of tracking it down, a journey that takes her across state lines—and ever deeper into the twins’ lives.
Filled with intense and important friendships, a wonderful warts-and-all family, shiveringly good romantic developments, and sharp, witty dialogue, this story is about finding the people you never knew you needed.
