YA. GENERAL FICTION (CHILDREN'S / TEENAGE). Jandy Nelson's two top-selling novels in one slipcase! I'll Give You the Sun: Jude and her twin Noah were incredibly close - until a tragedy drove them apart, and now they are barely speaking. Then Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy as well as a captivating new mentor, both of whom may just need her as much as she needs them. What the twins don't realize is that each of them has only half the story and if they can just find their way back to one another, they have a chance to remake their world. The Sky is Everywhere: Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to centre stage of her own life - and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in town, with a nearly magical grin. Ages 13+

Until Friday Night
Another teen romance where two kids bond over family loss, but this one trades lyrical grief-prose for football-town drama and slightly more heat.
While it Lasts
Keeps the grieving-heart-meets-reckless-boy dynamic, aged up into new adult with steamier scenes and a firmer happy ending.
Arcana Rising
Love triangle and mourning again, but far darker and more violent, with apocalyptic stakes instead of small-town summer.
The ones we trust
Same guilt-soaked mourning after a family death, told from an adult perspective with a slower burn and a conspiracy plot.
The dark rose
Grief, forbidden attraction and family rifts remain central, but stretched across a Tudor-era saga rather than one teen's summer.
Dancing at Midnight
Still a wounded person learning to want again, though here it's Regency courtship: slower, warmer, and with more on-page intimacy.
