Book Description
Janet Gurtler's books have been hailed as "just right for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jodi Picoult" (Booklist) and "reminiscent of Judy Blume" (RT Book Reviews). Her latest contemporary YA novel is by turns gripping, heart-wrenching, and joyous as one teen girl has to find the courage to carry on after a devastating tragedy. She never thought a kiss could kill... As the new girl in town, Samantha just wants to fit in. Being invited to a party by her fellow swim team members is her big chance...especially since Zee will be there. He hasn't made a secret of checking her out at the pool. Sam didn't figure on Alex being there too. She barely even knows him. And she certainly didn't plan to kiss him. It just kind of happened. And then Alex dies—right in her arms... Consumed by guilt and grief, Sam has no idea what to do or where to turn when everyone at school blames her. What follows is Sam's honest, raw, and unforgettable journey to forgive herself and find balance—maybe even love—in a life that suddenly seems to be spinning out of control.

Book Description
Imagine a panorama of sentient entities, competing in a near infinite series of dimensions, aware that their existence is threatened - by Reality. In a matrix of 26D branes emerges a 10D brane, with the greatest concentration of sentience known - the Prima - destined to inflict their Evil on the Matrix, and throughout the Anomaly: a 4D brane exhibiting truly aberrant properties: a unique form of complex matter. The Primas' dark energy threatens to destroy this Anomaly. But the Eternals are unconcerned. The remnants of the 4D cluster will be absorbed by their Eternity at the end of this final Cycle and with it, the Anomaly and its extraordinary Life. So, the Purity will return. Chaos, the Abomination, is indicted for Intervention in the 4D cluster, and is banished into Stasis; but creates the ultimate artificial intelligence, Cosmos, capable of influencing and regulating all activity across Eternity. Spanning a million trillion temporal units, the Quest is to prevent the end of Eternity, or escape to Reality.
