Suddenly her life is unrecognizable: She's got twelve years of the wrong memories in her head and she's married to Eric, a man she barely knew in high school.<br \/>\nRacing to get back to her old life, Kelly's search leads only to more questions. In this life, she loves Eric and wants to trust him, but everything she discovers about him--including a connection to a mysterious tech startup--tells her she shouldn't. And strange things keep happening. The tattoos she had when she was an artist briefly reappear on her skin, she remembers fights with Eric that he says never happened, and her relationships with loved ones both new and familiar seem to change without warning.<br \/>\nBut the closer Kelly gets to putting the pieces together, the more her reality seems to shift. And if she can't figure out what happened on her birthday, the next change could cost her everything...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-02-13T11:00:12+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Sunday!

With all the heart and hope of her last two books, this is an utterly unique romance. <\/b><br \/>\n Evie Thomas doesn't believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually.<br \/>\nAs Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything--including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he's only just met.<br \/>\nFalling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it's that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-02-13T11:00:12+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Sunday!

This debut science-fiction romp with heart follows the tradition of Ray Bradbury\u2019s Martian Chronicles, with a dash of The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy, and a hint of The Real World.<br \/>\nFor the six lucky scientists selected by the Destination Mars! corporation, a one-way ticket to Mars\u2014in exchange for a lifetime of research\u2014was an absolute no-brainer. The incredible opportunity was clearly worth even the most absurdly tedious screening process. Perhaps worth following the strange protocols in a nonsensical handbook written by an eccentric billionaire. Possibly even worth their constant surveillance, the video of which is carefully edited into a ratings-bonanza back on Earth.<br \/>\nBut it turns out that after a while even scientists can get bored of science. Tempers begin to fray; unsanctioned affairs blossom. When perfectly good equipment begins to fail, the Marsonauts are faced with a possibility that their training just cannot explain.<br \/>\nIrreverent, poignant, and perfectly weird, David Ebenbach\u2019s debut science-fiction outing, like a mission to Mars, is an incredible trip you will never forget.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-02-13T11:00:12+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Sunday!

Her purpose is to observe the thirteen human crew members aboard the ship--all specialists in their own fields--as they assess the colonization potential of the planet, Eos.

Park's patients are falling prey to waking nightmares of helpless, tongueless insanity. The androids are behaving strangely. There are no windows aboard the ship.

Her best (and only) friend is pulling away. Her mother\u2019s drinking problem is a constant concern. She\u2019s even running out of outlandish diseases to fake so she can skip PE.<br \/>\nBut when Aideen stumbles on her nemesis, overachiever Meabh Kowalski, in the midst of a full-blown meltdown, she sees a problem that\u2014unlike her own disaster of a life\u2014seems refreshingly easy to solve. Meabh is desperate to escape her crushing pile of extracurriculars. Aideen volunteers to help. By pushing Meabh down the stairs.<br \/>\nProblem? Solved. Meabh\u2019s sprained ankle is the perfect excuse to ditch her overwhelming schedule. But when another student learns about their little scheme and brings Aideen another \u201cclient\u201d who needs her \u201chelp,\u201d it kicks off a semester of traded favors, ill-advised hijinks, and an unexpected chance at love. Fixing other people\u2019s problems won\u2019t fix her own, but it might be the push she needs to start.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-02-13T11:00:12+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Sunday!
