If You're Lucky by Yvonne Prinz
Is Georgia’s mind playing tricks on her, or is the entire town
walking into the arms of a killer who has everyone but her fooled?When seventeen-year-old Georgia’s brother drowns while surfing halfway around the world in Australia, she refuses to believe that Lucky’s death was just bad luck. Lucky was smart. He wouldn’t have surfed in waters more dangerous than he could handle. Then a stranger named Fin arrives in False Bay, claiming to have been Lucky’s best friend. Soon Fin is working for Lucky’s father, charming Lucky’s mother, dating Lucky’s girlfriend. Georgia begins to wonder: Did Fin murder her brother in order to take over his whole life?
Determined to clear the fog from her mind in order to uncover the truth about Lucky’s death, Georgia secretly stops taking the medication that keeps away the voices in her head. She is certain she’s getting closer and closer to the truth about Fin, but as she does, her mental state becomes more and more precarious, and no one seems to trust what she’s saying. As the chilling narrative unfolds, the reader must decide whether Georgia’s descent into madness is causing her to see things that don’t exist--or to see the deadly truth
Illuminae, book 1 of the Illuminae Files series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a
planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the
universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With
enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even
talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto one of the
evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But
their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out
and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI, which should
be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge
will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of
data to find the truth, it’s clear only one person can help her bring it
all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again.
Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including
emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews,
and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping,
high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the
courage of everyday heroes.
The Distance From Me to You by Marina Gessner
McKenna Berney is a lucky girl. She has a loving family and has been
accepted to college for the fall. But McKenna has a different goal in
mind: much to the chagrin of her parents, she defers her college
acceptance to hike the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia with her
best friend. And when her friend backs out, McKenna is determined to go
through with the dangerous trip on her own. While on the Trail, she
meets Sam. Having skipped out on an abusive dad and quit school, Sam has
found a brief respite on the Trail, where everyone’s a drifter, at
least temporarily.
Despite lives headed in opposite directions,
McKenna and Sam fall in love on an emotionally charged journey of
dizzying highs and devastating lows. When their punch-drunk love leads
them off the trail, McKenna has to persevere in a way she never thought
possible to beat the odds or risk both their lives.
