Hadley's mom-Phoebe of @PhoebeAndJay fame-loves to share all the terrible, down and dirty bits about raising kids while Willow's mom Rosalind at the up-and-coming @MoonbeamsAndMarigold basks in the glow of motherhood.
If getting all her life's moments (including an almost decade old viral potty training video) shared online isn't enough, Hadley's starting a new school in a new neighborhood and desperately trying to keep her mom's identity a secret while Willow is struggling with a recent life-changing announcement from her mom who, it turns out, is not getting out of the influencer world anytime soon.
As the two girls build a friendship on a private Instagram page and share the pains of having a momfluencers, they come up against the same question-how long will they have to share their lives with everyone?"

His first mistake was underestimating them.
Senior year is going to be perfect. Meghan won't settle for anything less. She's already crushing her classes and dating the star of the basketball team. Nate's friends have been less than welcoming, but it's never easy being one of the only Black kids at a mostly white prep school. Still, Meghan did not expect the scene at pep rally.
Robin and Bria dated Nate too. Correction: are dating him. He never broke up with them, and Meghan is furious.
When Nate is found bloodied and unconscious in the locker room after the big game, suddenly the three teens are prime suspects—and a tenuous alliance may be the only way to clear their names. Except Meghan doesn't remember everything that happened that night, and she's starting to have feelings for one of the exes. One thing is for sure: the more clues they uncover, the more Meghan, Bria, and Robin each look responsible …"
"Temple Baker knows that evil runs in her blood. Her father is the North Point Killer, an infamous serial killer known for branding his victims. He was the talk of countless true crime blogs for years. Some say he was possessed by a demon.
Some say they never found all his victims. Some say that even though he’s now behind bars, people are still dying in the woods. Despite everything, Temple never believed that her dad killed her mom. But when he confesses to that crime while on death row, she has no choice but to
return to his old hunting grounds and try to find the body to prove it.
Turns out, the farm that was once her family’s home has been turned into an overnight camp for queer, horror-obsessed girls. So Temple poses as a camp counselor to go digging in the woods. She tries her best to fit in and keep her true identity hidden.
Then a girl turns up dead in the woods, and Temple fears that one of her father’s “fans” might be mimicking his crimes. As she tries to uncover the truth and keep the campers safe, she realizes that there may be something stranger and more sinister at work—and that her father may not
have been the only monster in these woods.

"What happens when your sister disappears, and then returns, changed in ways trauma alone can't explain?
Sutton going missing is the worst thing that could have happened to Casey, to their family. She’s trying to help find her sister, but Casey is furious. She knows Sutton is manipulative, yet everyone paints a picture of her perfection. People don’t go looking for missing
Black girls—or half-Black girls—without believing there is an angel to be saved.
When Sutton reappears, Casey knows she should be relieved. Except Sutton isn’t the same. She remembers nothing about the time she was gone—or anything from her old life, including how she made Casey miserable. There’s something unsettling about the way
she always wants to hang out with Casey and watch her goldfish swim for hours.
What happened to Sutton? The more Casey starts uncovering her sister’s secrets, the more questions she has. Did she really know her sister? Why is no one talking about the other girls who have gone missing in their area? And what will it take to uncover the truth?"

desperate to unearth the secrets that divide her family.

the town’s most prominent family, whose mother’s murder remains unsolved.
As the three girls grow closer—and Avery and Simone’s friendship blossoms into

something insidious underneath. Avery soon discovers her family’s roots are
deeply entwined with Bardell’s racist past. With Mama Letty’s health dwindling
every day, Avery must decide if digging for the truth is worth toppling the delicate
relationships she’s built—or if some things are better left buried."
