  Opposites don’t attract. They swap lives … 
   
  From the outside looking in, socialite Lexi North’s life looks decadently perfect, right down to her diamond-dusted nails. But you know what they say about glass houses … When one night goes horribly wrong—with the whole world watching—she’s challenged to swap  
  lives with the salty, albeit gorgeous, man she rear-ends with her car. 
   
  For mechanic Evan Bailey, life is definitely not a party. There’s no “daddy’s credit card” for fixing up his family’s auto shop, raising his too-precocious-for-anyone’s good niece, and getting his accounts from deep in the red to black. Which is precisely when opportunity—and  
  celebutante Lexi North—smashes into his life. 
   
  But what should have been an easy bet gets a whole lot harder with the inexplicably hot chemistry between them. Now the only way for either of them to get what they want is to go for broke …

  Forced to return to her hometown, Olive finds her memories returning.

  In a novel of bilious wit and unexpected tenderness, a jaded young woman ceases to speak. 
   
  Cristina Martino is twenty-eight and adrift. Underemployed at a university library in Turin, Italy, she still lives at home with her parents, in the shadow of her successful, married elder sister, Elena. One night, listlessly scrolling through Instagram, Cristina decides to delete her social media profiles. 
   
  What is at first a digital detox becomes an act of self-effacement: Cristina deprives herself of words, then gestures, then disappears altogether, sparking a growing "silent revolution." When Elena tries to find her, she discovers a world much quieter and stranger than anyone ever imagined. A slender novel of big ideas, The Silent Period probes at solitude—whether chosen or suffered, salvific or fatal—and our need for genuine connection.
