You may not believe my story, and I don't care if you do. I know what happened and what we found out in that forbidden room. Disaster struck in the summer of 1965 when, like a migrating goose, my wackadoodle Great Aunt Polly arrived from New Mexico with her signature eye patch matching the enormous turquoise muumuu barely stretching over her bulk. Mom assigned Kitty and me as indentured servants to help Aunt Polly at her ancient crumbling mansion on Lake Minnetonka. We spent weeks cooking, cleaning, and prying Aunt Polly out of her beater of a car.We hoped the hunky Minnetonka guys living next door would be interested enough in two sheltered girls from south Minneapolis to make the summer enjoyable. Fat chance! Aunt Polly's rules were endless. How could she expect us to obey them all? "Stay out of that room!" she said about the house's one locked door. Stay out? Right! Kitty and I took it as an invitation to investigate.Don't you agree that, under the circumstances, disobedience was our duty? Not only did we find a way to be neighborly with the dudes next door. Our search for keys to that forbidden room unlocked family secrets from decades ago.So, we found out just how far we could push Aunt Polly. Who knew she had a hunting rifle?Take advantage of this chance to fulfill your secret wish to visit the 1960s. Buy my coming-of-age story. I promise it will make you giggle, cringe, squirm, and gasp.

Dash & Lily meets Ferris Bueller's Day Off in Edward Underhill's new whirlwind rom-com about two queer teens who spend one life-changing day together in New York City. Abby Akerman believes in the Universe. After all, her Midwest high school marching band is about to perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City-if that's not proof that magical things can happen, what is? New York also happens to be the setting of her favorite romance novel, making it the perfect place for Abby to finally tell her best friend Kat that she's in love with her (and, um, gay). She's carefully annotated a copy of the book as a gift for Kat, and she's counting on the Universe to provide an Epic Scene worthy of her own rom-com.Leo Brewer, on the other hand, just wants to get through this trip without falling apart. He doesn't believe the Universe is magical at all, mostly because he's about to be outed to his very Southern extended family on national TV as the trans boy he really is. He's not excited for the parade, and he's even less excited for an entire day of sightseeing with his band.But the Universe has other ideas. When fate throws Abby and Leo together on the wrong subway train, they soon find themselves lost in the middle of Manhattan. Even worse, Leo accidentally causes Abby to lose her Epic Gift for Kat. So to salvage the day, they come up with a new mission: find a souvenir from every location mentioned in the book for Abby to give Kat instead. But as Leo and Abby traverse the city, from the streets of Chinatown to the halls of Grand Central Station and the top of the Empire State Building, their initial expectations for the trip-and of each other-begin to shift. Maybe, if they let it, this could be the day that changes everything, for both of them.
