"Bloomsbury presents Tell Me Every Lie by Ellen Hagan and David Flores read by Rosanna Pilcher and Grayson Villanueva This is the kind of love story that starts with a lie. John Paul Reyes wants to escape the worst truths in his life—other people's pity since his dad died, and everyone else's expectations about what he should do with his life now that he's graduated high school. When he arrives at the Majestic Mountain resort with his Tita Abrigo's wealthy family, he sees a way to escape—he can be JP Abrigo, rich and set, and he can lie his way to feeling fine. Mia Malik is trapped in this town, working hard at the resort, trying to escape her broken family and to make her way to the prestigious art program she was accepted into. She's desperate to afford her way there, and she's sick of the privileged guests who have the whole world open to them, who don't really even see her. But then another staffer dares Mia to make one of the guests fall for her. If she can, she'll collect enough money to get out. Mia knows this is dangerously against the rules, and doesn't even want to pretend to like an entitled rich kid, but then she meets JP. Lying to him starts off easy, but then there's more to him than she expected. And the way JP feels about Mia? So real. As their week together runs out, Mia and JP will have to dig themselves out from the lies they tell to see if there's any truth in the feelings they have for each other. A moving, layered young adult novel in two voices about finding truth in the lies we tell ourselves. C 2025 David Flores P 2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC C 2025 Ellen Hagan"

All That Shines

"Bloomsbury presents All That Shines written and read by Ellen Hagan. A contemplative novel in verse that questions what it means to lose everything you once treasured and rediscover yourself, falling in love along the way. Chloe Brooks has only ever known what it's like to have everything. Her parents' wealth and place in society meant she had all she wanted, and friends everywhere she turned. Until it all crashes down: Her father is arrested in the middle of the night, under investigation for fraud. Bankrupt and facing foreclosure, Chloe must forgo her lavish summer plans as she and her mom are forced to move into one of the rundown apartments they still own, just outside Lexington, Kentucky. Without her riches, Chloe loses her friends, her comfort, her confidence, and her sense of self, unsure of who she is and if she has anything to offer. Then Chloe's new neighbors, Clint, Skye, James, and Natalia, introduce her to the side of Kentucky she's long ignored. These new friends are the only ones who see her for who she truly is, but will they stay by her side once they discover her family's true identity, or will Chloe lose them, too? In her signature captivating verse, Ellen Hagan encapsulates the hesitant joy of reshaping your identity and rediscovering yourself."
