The Felicity Complex

"Annie Bot meets Fallout in this dystopian satire: six women created in a lab, designed to serve the billionaires of the future in a luxury fallout shelter, rebel against their programming after the end times arrive. Welcome to the Felicity Complex! Constructed during the height of the Cold War, our unique hotel is prepared to protect you, the billionaire class, from nuclear annihilation! Shielded from radiation and supplemented with closed air systems and hydroponic gardens, this resort bunker offers a prime existence underground: full gymnasium and spa, gourmet meals, top-tier medical care, and the best in entertainment. Meet Hallelujah! Grown in a lab and educated in the ways of concierge hospitality, she believes in her duty to comfort the Lord-anointed refugees of the apocalypse. (Even if her lover Anastasia disagrees. Even if her creator Dr. Younghusband is disappointed in her.) Don’t worry—everyone is safe from communists in the Felicity Complex! Look, Hallelujah, guests have finally arrived! Hallelujah and her sister specimens have waited ages for you. Never mind the secrets other rich survivalists may be hiding. Just make sure they don’t notice the violent intentions behind our staff’s wide, wide smiles … A sendup of traditional womanhood and lampooning the paranoias of the elite, The Felicity Complex questions the ambitions behind the entitled few who plan for the end times—and who truly survives them. “Deeply weird, darkly funny, and always perfectly discomforting: a perfect satire for the current billionaires-and-megachurches-and-praying-for-guillotines era.”—Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of You Weren’t Meant to Be Human, on The Felicity Complex"

All the Sunshine in the World

"In this riveting novel in verse, thirteen-year-old Tolly fears she was to blame for the accident that killed her older sister. If she could just get her phone back, she might find answers about the day Sunny died … It's been almost six months since Tolly's sister died in a distracted driving wreck. Tolly misses Sunny every minute of every day, but is it wrong to want a semi-normal birthday? What about a new phone, to replace the one she lost soon after the accident? Instead, she gets grieving parents and a disappointing, misspelled cake. And so Tolly is stuck starting eighth grade without a phone in hand, without answers to the endless questions she has about her sister's death. Why did it happen … How did it happen … Was it Tolly's fault? She just needs her old phone back to uncover the truth. Ironically, thanks to being phoneless, Tolly gets put in charge of a new Luddite club at school, for kids who want to avoid technology. It's the last place she expected to find herself, but it turns out to be a powerful escape from the unrelenting guilt she feels over Sunny's death—and it might just be the place for her to get those answers, too. Acclaimed poet Caroline Brooks DuBois brings one family's healing into the light in a compelling novel in verse that speaks to this generation's messy feelings about technology, as well as the timeless complications of being a teenager. 'This powerful verse novel brims with poignancy, intricate details, and beautiful sentences, painting a portrait of a guilt-ridden teenager and a family coming to grips with tragedy. … Divided into four parts, the book is thoughtfully rendered, with complex characters and a plot that etches out the inevitable feeling of lingering guilt that comes in the aftermath of loss.'—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"

Capsized

"A mystery and coming-of-age drama set against the backdrop of an elite all-girls rowing club as they navigate first loves, first heartbreaks, and the bonds that form when winning isn't the only thing on the line. Soon to be adapted for Hulu, by the producer of Pretty Little Liars! For high-achieving Margaret Douglas, rowing is everything-her friends, her family, and her way into college. As a senior and varsity captain, she has made many sacrifices to get where she is. But after she mysteriously disappears for the summer, rumors swirl: Was Margaret at Olympic training? Rehab? Under house arrest? Whatever happened, it clearly haunts her . . . and when she returns at the beginning of the season, Margaret discovers that the sisterhood she once knew has moved on without her. Meanwhile, spunky freshman and new girl Jo Bryant is only rowing because of her father: former Olympian, Boston legend, and the person Jo blames for her parents' divorce. Jo knows nothing about crew, or why Margaret's return has everyone at the boathouse whispering, but she does know that Margaret is the only person who doesn't treat her like a joke. For both girls, the varsity team is a sisterhood earned in five a.m. wake-ups and blistered hands. But there are secrets and scandals waiting to surface-and with the biggest race of the year on the horizon, Margaret, Jo, and their teammates are about to find out just how deep those secrets go."
