Whether familial, friendly, or romantic, relationships can be messy, tumultuous, and downright complicated — but they can also inspire newfound confidence and hope, as illustrated through these three poignant novels. In Jade Adia's Our Shouts Echo, teen doomsday prepper Niarah Holloway is forced to enroll in a wilderness group where she meets Mac Torres, a charming boy who nudges her to consider a future that’s defined by more than the avoidance of danger and risk. Jas Hammonds' Thirsty follows incoming college student Blake Brenner as she and her girlfriend make it their mission to join the secretive and exclusive Serena Society, determined to succeed at any cost. In LaDarrion Williams' Blood At The Root, Malik Baron enrolls at a school for the young, Black, and magical in an effort to hone his untamed powers, unravel his family legacy, and discover what really happened the night his life changed forever.
