After losing her father, Layken becomes a pillar of strength for her mother and younger brother. However, as she continues to be their support system, she is dangerously close to falling apart herself. Right when she thinks she has hit rock bottom, her path crosses with her new neighbor, Will. As they bond over their shared love of slam poetry and form a deep connection, a well-kept secret unspools and threatens their chance at happiness. Will their love for one another be enough to overcome this obstacle? Hoover beautifully and poetically captures what it’s like to be young and in love in her debut novel “Slammed” ($33.78).

Second in the Slammed series, “Point of Retreat” ($14) continues Will and Layken’s story as they face different challenges in their budding relationship. While their love is certainly strong, life keeps testing them. As Will’s past rears its ugly head once again, Layken is left feeling unsure about their future now more than ever. Eventually, they arrive at a point in their relationship where they must decide whether all the imminent heartache is even worth all their efforts and time. Or is it time to cut their losses by parting ways before the situation devolves any further?

The final instalment in the Slammed series, “This Girl” ($12), follows Will and Layken as a couple, who, now married, have overcome all the curveballs life threw their way. Only this time, we’ll view the ups and downs of their young romance from Will’s point of view. Through this trilogy, Hoover has done a phenomenal job at reviewing one memory through two viewpoints, as they both add new context to the whole situation.

When Sky’s fate pulls her toward Dean Holder in “Hopeless” ($12), her high-school classmate whose troublesome reputation precedes him, she firmly denies her feelings. But as she starts to get to know the real Dean, she’s surprised to find that he’s nothing like the juicy gossip she’d heard about him all along. While she believed destiny put them in each other’s life, Sky learns their connection runs deeper than she initially thought. Within a day, her whole life unravels in front of her eyes as she begins searching for answers about her childhood. Will this twist of fate pull them apart or bring them closer?

“Losing Hope” ($14.99) tells the same story in “Hopeless,” only from Dean’s perspective, examining everything that goes through Dean’s mind throughout his childhood, teenage days, and now when he’s finally found the love of his life, Sky.

While “Finding Cinderella” ($12) revolves around the characters we briefly meet in the Hopeless series, this novella can be read as a standalone edition. A coincidental meet-cute occurs between Daniel (Dean’s best friend) and Sky’s childhood friend, Six. While trapped inside a dark closet, the two feel an instant connection but decide to leave behind this fairytale meet-up before they have a chance to mar this perfect fantasy with reality. When they stumble across each other a year later, they have to choose whether to walk away from one another while retaining their perfect memory or give in to their feelings. Can fairytales bloom in real life is the big question this book explores.

“Maybe Someday” ($12) tells the story of Sydney, whose seemingly picture-perfect world comes crashing down when she discovers that her boyfriend has been cheating on her. As she’s left to pick up the pieces of the mess her ex left behind, she slowly finds herself drawn to her guitar-strumming, mysterious – yet unbelievably charming – neighbour, Ridge. Things progress between the two as it becomes apparent that Sydney isn’t the only one who feels that way. With “Maybe Someday,” Hoover beautifully strings together a captivating tale of friendship, love, and betrayal at a young age.

A spinoff of “Maybe Someday,” “Maybe Not” ($12) the novella turns to different characters leading the story. It follows Warren, who agrees to live with a female roommate, Bridgette, but soon comes to regret his hasty decision as sharing a place with someone who’s his polar opposite like Bridgette turns out to be a living nightmare. Both often engage in petty arguments and are at each other’s throats, but once they get past their peculiarities, a friendship emerges. But maybe, just maybe, they’re more than friends?

When Tate meets Miles, an airline pilot friend of his brother’s, there’s an undeniable attraction between the two and tension so thick, you could cut it with a knife. Once they come clean about their mutual attraction, they strike a deal to pursue a no strings attached, purely physical relationship. Miles only has two conditions for Tate: Never ask about his past and don’t expect a future. However, their arrangement isn’t as fail-proof and smooth as they’d initially thought, as Tate soon realizes that her feelings toward Miles aren’t purely physical. She craves something deeper than being a friend with benefits. And as it turns out, Tate isn’t alone. Will they give in to their intense feelings, or stick to their rules? “Ugly Love” ($12) is an emotional rollercoaster that paints a love story that isn’t all rosy but is, in fact, complicated, beautiful, and, at times, unimaginably messy.

Hoover collaborated with Tarry Fisher to deliver the gripping romance novel “Never Never” ($35.47). The story follows two childhood best friends, Charlize and Silas, who are as thick as thieves. They’ve loved each other ever since they were 14, but at present, they are complete strangers. So what went wrong? Though they know each other too well, there are still some things in their relationship that the other person was unaware of. They must work together to unearth where exactly they drove off the road. “Never Never” is a heartwarming tale of two friends-turned-lovers who, despite all the heartache, are willing to work on their underlying issues and take a second chance on their love.

Seeking to rebuild her life after a series of unfortunate incidents, Auburn has decided to focus all her energy on building a better future and career. However, her sturdy plan slowly begins wavering when she meets the enigmatic artist, Owen. Despite the risk involved, Auburn chooses to put her heart first and starts exploring a future with Owen. However, a big secret from Owen’s past casts a pall over their budding romance and threatens to unravel all they’ve built together. Will Owen confess the truth before it’s too late? “Confess” ($11.99) was adapted into a limited TV series starring Katie Leclerc and Ryan Cooper in 2017.

Fallon has an unexpected encounter with Ben, an aspiring writer, and after spending a surprisingly good day together, the two decide to keep in touch and meet each other on the same day, Nov. 9, over the years. What started as a mere happenstance soon evolves into love, but their relationship comes to a screeching halt when Fallon finds out that their first meeting wasn’t entirely coincidental. “November 9” ($11.99) is a heartwarming novel about love, grief, forgiveness, and second chances that’ll both tug at your heartstrings and leave you grinning ear-to-ear as you go along with their tumultuous, yet heartwarming, journey.

“Too Late” ($21.27) is a departure from Hoover’s usual fuzzy, romantic tales. The story revolves around Sloan, who finds herself at a crossroads when she discovers that Asa, her boyfriend, is knee-deep in an extremely dangerous and corrupt line of work. As she contemplates cutting ties, he tries to buy some time for their collapsing relationship. But how long will he be able to put off their imminent split?

“It Ends With Us” ($11.95) starts just as any other romance novel would: hard-working Lily meets a handsome and charming neurosurgeon, Ryle. Even though Ryle has a no-dating rule, he makes an exception for Lily. But as their relationship grows deeper, new, disturbing sides of Ryle emerge, and Lily begins to realise their situation may have been a little too good to be true. When Lily’s first love, Atlas Corrigan, re-enters her life unexpectedly, Lily finds herself at a crossroads. “It Ends With Us” is an absolute tear-jerker and presents an empathetic picture of all the complex facets of an abusive relationship.

Merit’s family is anything but normal. Her dysfunctional family includes her four siblings – her agoraphobic mother; her distant father; and her stepmother, a nurse who once used to take care of her sick mother – all living under the same roof. The Vosses tend to glaze over their many familial issues, leading to a series of misunderstandings and buried secrets. It all comes to a head when Merit’s demons resurface, and she can’t turn a blind eye anymore. Will the Vosses finally have a long-overdue family discussion, or will they go on pretending that nothing’s wrong, with or “Without Merit?” ($12)

“All Your Perfects” ($10) impeccably bounces between the alternating past and present chapters to tell the beautifully complex love story of Quinn and Graham. While their love for each other runs deep, their marriage in the present day is on the rocks as their continuous failed efforts to get pregnant give way to miscommunication, bitterness, and many words left unsaid. Will their unconditional love for one another be enough to survive the hurricane their marriage is currently in the thick of?

“Verity” ($12) is a psychological thriller that’s sure to have you on the edge of your seat with unexpected twists at every turn. When bestselling author, Verity Crawford, gets in a car crash that leaves her bedridden with severe injuries, her husband, Jeremy, approaches Lowen with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ghostwrite Verity’s remaining books in her uber-successful series. But when Lowen is going through Verity’s notes as a part of her research, she comes across an unfinished manuscript for Verity’s autobiography that reveals unnerving truths that leave Lowen torn between keeping them a secret or telling Jeremy, who she’s beginning to develop feelings for.

“Maybe Now” ($14.99) is the last book in the beloved “Maybe Someday” series and is a direct follow-up to the first book in the series, “Maybe Someday.” It picks up the stories of Sydney and Ridge where we left them, as well as that of Warren and Bridgette from “Maybe Not.” The story follows the familiar characters at different stages of their lives as they navigate old and new connections and the ups and downs of life.

“Finding Perfect” ($14.99) is the follow-up to “Finding Cinderella” and the fourth and final book in the Hopeless series. It continues Daniel and Six’s story from the former’s point of view. Readers can expect a lot of fun cameos and crossovers from Hoover’s previous stories in “Finding Perfect” while, of course, getting a conclusion to Daniel and Six’s swoon-worthy love story.

“Regretting You” ($16) follows 16-year-old Clara and Morgan, her mother, whose already-strained relationship takes a hit when Morgan’s husband, Chris, dies in a car accident. As they deal with the aftermath of Chris’s sudden death, Morgan pieces together the questionable circumstances in which the accident occurred, which leads to some disturbing truths about her late husband. With Chris gone, Morgan turns to his former high-school friend, who is in the same boat as her due to Chris’s poor decisions. To preserve Clara’s precious memories of her father, Morgan decides to keep Chris’s terrible secret, but will its eventual disclosure bring the mother and daughter closer together or rip them further apart?

In “Heart Bones” ($24.67), Beyah is counting down the days until she goes to college, leaving behind her miserable life. But with the sudden death of her mother, she has no choice but to stay with her estranged father for the summer. Her plan is straightforward: plow on and stay away from any potential conflict until college starts. However, this plan doesn’t go as smoothly as she thought. When she meets her new neighbour, Samson, who’s the complete opposite of her in most ways, she finds herself indescribably pulled toward him. What starts as just a summer fling soon alters her priorities and the entire course of life.

“Layla” ($16) is a chilling paranormal novel from Hoover that tells the love story between married couple Leeds and Layla that far exceeds the trappings of physical existence. When Layla survives a traumatic accident, she becomes an almost entirely different version of herself, emotionally and mentally. Leeds decides to take Layla back to the place where their love bloomed. Little does he know, he’ll find solace in another guest at the bed-and-breakfast while trying to salvage his crumbling marriage.

“Reminders Of Him” ($16) is an emotionally-packed, hard-hitting story about grief, second chances, motherhood, and hope guaranteed to soothe your soul. After serving five years in prison for a hit-and-run, Kenna returns to the world with the hopes of meeting her four-year-old daughter, Diem. But everyone in Diem’s life is adamant not to let Kenna anywhere near her. The only thing that keeps Kenna from falling apart is a glimmer of hope she finds when she meets Ledger, a local bar owner, who sees her for who she is rather than who she was.

The eagerly-anticipated sequel to “It Ends With Us,” “It Starts With Us” ($14.99), picks up two years after the events of “It Ends With Us.” As Lily explores her newfound relationship with her first love, Atlas, she has to navigate the aftermath of Ryle, who has never hidden his outward animosity toward Atlas. Will time finally be on their side, or will it cruelly play its tricks just like it always has? “It Starts With Us” comes out on Oct. 18 and will switch between Lily and Atlas’s perspectives as they together maneuver the challenges of dating after all this time.
