May New Releases
I'm slowly running out of things to say for these intros.
Again but Better by Christine Riccio
Genre: YA, Romance
Release Date: 5/7
If for some reason you haven't heard about this book yet, it's about Shane who is in her final year of college and for her it's been fairly mundane and so she decides to sign up for a semester abroad in London to get the opportunity to relive her college experience.
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
Genre: Romance
Release Date: 5/7
So this book is set in the same world as The Kiss Quotient but follows Khai Diep, who will get irritated when people move his stuff around but doesn't feel important emotions, like grief or love. He feels like he's defective due to his autism, but his family understands that he just processes emotions differently and so his mother tries to help him find love by going back to Vietnam to find his perfect pride.
Skys Without Stars by Jessica Brody
Genre: YA, SciFi, Retellings
Release Date: 5/26
For those of you who don't know, I'm a fan of Les Mis and this is essentially Les Mis with a SciFi twist. When the Last Days came, Laterre was a promise of hope, but now, 500 years later, it's now where the elite class reign supreme, where the rest starve in the streets, and the resurfacing a rebel group. Whispers of revolution have started to rise and hinge on three unlikely heroes: Chatine, a street-savvy thief who is willing to risk anything to escape the regime even if that means spying on the grandson of the most powerful man on the planet, Marcellus; Marcellus, an officer and the son of a renowned traitor and starts to doubt his faith in the government when his father leaves a cryptic message that only one girl can read, Alouette; and Alouette, who lives in an underground refuge to protect the last surviving library on the planet.
