  He had never experienced possibilities — and it was a whole new feeling to have them. 
  Pip Standish is in Newgate Prison, a predictable career finale for a London thief. So he is surprised when Lord Finlington, the dashing viscount he attempted to steal from months before, offers to get him out — on the condition that Pip agrees to leave town and start a new career in the country. 
  Soon, Pip finds himself moving to the idyllic Tutting-on-Cress and a life he never thought possible. As he settles in with his new friends, he discovers a well-rounded education not only involves reading and magic, but how to be happy, how to trust others with your heart, and how to let go of pain. 
  But when an attempt to settle an old debt reopens a dangerous wound, Pip will need to apply all of his hard-earned lessons to stop the past swallowing him — and his future — whole. 
  This new adult fantasy is the third book in the Meddle & Mend series. It is a continuation of Pip's story from One Good Turn.

  At the sales office of an automotive company in Tokyo, Yukio Ogawa, a 27-year-old mechanic, is a "parasite single" who still lives with his parents. His mother does everything for him, even his lunch box daily. The reason is his workplace is within walking distance of his home. His life changes when he applies for a green card and finds out he is the most popular among the three women among his colleagues. He is perplexed by the approaches of Tomoko Aoki and Erika Yamamoto, who have had a one-sided love for Yukio for six years. Still, Yukio's monochrome life of shuttling back and forth between work and home begins to take on color. 
  Katsuhiko Anzai, one of Yukio's five classmates, has broken up with his college girlfriend because of his sexual orientation. Yukio's older brother, Toru, was his first love, but six years after joining the company, he became a bridge between the other classmates and Yukio's close friendship. At the same time, he was always concerned about the disappearance of Kenta, his junior in college, who resembled Toru. ......!

  Campbell St. Clair never expected her first novel to catapult her to success. She should be excited that she'll be consulting on the movie adaptation, but she's struggling. Her ability to write her newest novel has been practically non-existent, she's all but given up on having a social life, and with the recent loss of her father, she's trying to understand what she wants for her future. 
   
   
   
  Sloane Murphy's career has been careening forward for the last decade, so it doesn't matter that she doesn't like being an actress. The movie is a great opportunity for her, and in spite of her ambivalence, the show must go on. She's done this enough times that she just needs to follow the script and hit her lines. But she wasn't expecting to see Campbell St. Clair, at least that's what she goes by now, on set, and her presence sends Sloane's already precarious life into a tailspin when their paths collide again. 
   
   
   
  Neither are the same people they were when they'd met in college, but do either of them know who they are now? In a world of playing pretend, it's hard to know what's real, even if it's right in front of them. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Early November, 1958, New York City 
   
  Art thief and smuggler Cantor Gold's latest underworld caper begins when she arrives at big-time bookie Nick Fortunato's apartment to celebrate his birthday, a ritual the two friends have enjoyed for years. But Nick is missing, and there's blood on the living room carpet. It's not Nick's blood, though. Nick's death still awaits him. Despite crime lord Sig Loreale's best plans to protect Nick, with whom Sig has financial dealings, a killer finds Nick hidden away in a cheap hotel owned by Loreale. 
   
  Among the players in this tale of friendship, betrayal, and the competition for power between the young and the aging, is the beautiful and possibly deadly Abbey O'Brien. She was Nick's right hand in his bookie operation, and now that he's dead, she stands to either gain big or lose even bigger. The operatives and bettors in Nick's bookmaking business have a stake in Nick's death, too . . . and motives to either solve his murder or get him out of the way. Assisting Cantor, as always, are her young Guy Friday Judson Zane; cabbie, sometime getaway driver, and sometime friend with benefits Rosie Bliss; and Cantor's criminal mentor Esther "Mom" Sheinbaum. And always circling are the cops.

  An autobiographical novel from Édouard Louis, hailed as one of the most important voices of his generation—about social class, transformation, and the perils of leaving the past behind. 
   
   
   
  One question took center stage in my life, it focused all of my thoughts and occupied every moment when I was alone with myself: how could I get this revenge, by what means? I tried everything. 
   
   
   
  Édouard Louis longs for a life beyond the poverty, discrimination, and violence in his working-class hometown—so he sets out for school in Amiens, and, later, university in Paris. He sheds the provincial "Eddy" for an elegant new name, determined to eradicate every aspect of his past. He reads incessantly; he dines with aristocrats; he spends nights with millionaires and drug-dealers alike. Everything he does is motivated by a single obsession: to become someone else. At once harrowing and profound, Change is not just a personal odyssey, a story of dreams and of "the beautiful violence of being torn away," but a vividly rendered portrait of a society divided by class, power, and inequality.
