Words and Their Meanings by Kate Bassett
Anna's beloved uncle died a year ago. In that year she has given up writing, her onetime passion, and begun to emulate Patti Smith. Now at the one year mark, her parents and her therapist think it's time to move on. As she attempts to live by their new rules, Anna begins to discover secrets about Uncle Joe.
From the beginning, this book has great atmosphere. Anna may not be the world's most likeable character but she feels genuine. I look forward to discovering more of this story, all those secrets about Joe and why Anna feels responsible for his death.

Starry Night by Isabel Gillies
On the night that she goes to her first formal party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Wren meets Nolan and everything changes. She feels different when she is near him. Even her dreams change. As her family pushes her to hang on to herself, Wren just wants to let go and live in the moment with Nolan.
This is definitely one of the more thoughtful teen romances I've read. It explores art, music, talent, and love in their different forms. Romance isn't one of my favored genres so I had a somewhat difficult time getting into this one, but I enjoyed the way it made me reconsider some preconceived notions.

Of Monsters and Madness by Jessica Verday
A retelling mixed with mystery, murder, and insanity? This book could be amazing. I'm very much looking forward to it.
