Sanskari Sweetheart
by Ananya Devarajan
Raina needs to win the National Bollywood Dance Circuit Scholarship. That will show her mother that dance can be a financially stable career and prove to her boyfriend and co-captain, Aditya, that they're still the perfect couple, even if all they seem to do these days is fight. There's only one problem--Aditya breaks up with her, their Nationals choreography crumbles on stage and Raina, as well as her hopes of winning the scholarship, is taken right down with it. All Raina wants is a do-over, so when she wakes up the next morning to a miracle--another chance at Nationals with Aditya by her side--she couldn't be happier. But as the events of the day start repeating, Raina realizes she's stuck in a time loop, cursed to humiliate herself at Nationals and then get dumped--over and over again. Raina is certain that if she follows all the right steps, she can break out of the time loop, win Nationals and earn back the heart of her one true love in the process. But what if perfection isn't enough?

Lou with the Band
by Alexandra Leigh Young
When Lou enlists her best friend, Molly, to shave her head, it's partly so she doesn't have to deal with washing her hair all the time while on tour--and partly because she's ready to be a new person. No stranger to reinventing herself, restless Lou is a Cuban-American girl who's never left Texas, let alone the country. But the New Lou has deferred her first semester at Texas State to work for a celebrity musician on tour. She's bound for China, Japan, half of Europe and everywhere in between, though it means getting intimately acquainted with the band's dirty laundry. Even with her road crew uncle on alert, it will be the summer of a lifetime, full of underground parties, disco spas and gelato. When Lou falls for a tattooed guitar prodigy who makes her feel achingly alive, it doesn't cross her mind to doubt him or--as life on the road tightens its hold--her course. Will Molly know her when she returns, if she returns? Who is the New Lou really? Pulsing with energy and authentic detail, this story of self-discovery ushers readers backstage on a sensational world tour.
