Date Week
From the author of Schooled comes a witty rom-com about one couple on the cusp of new beginnings who suddenly find themselves wrestling with the past while contemplating their future.
Will Easterly leads a great life in Chicago. The postcollege uncertainty of his twenties behind him, he’s married to Rachel Armas, love of his life, and in just a few months he’ll become a father too. But instead of feeling excited, he finds himself doubting his ability to be a good parent. Probably because his own dad walked out when Will was only a kid.
So the day Rachel comes home in tears, he jumps at the chance to bury his own insecurities and focus on her. Turns out she was just offered her dream job…in Los Angeles. Already overwhelmed by the prospect of motherhood, Rachel turns it down, leaving Will to worry she’ll come to regret the decision.
Inspired by their binge-watching of the hit reality show Date Me Now!, Will plans a date week for Rachel: a weeklong road trip filled with adventures. But when Will uses the trip to go behind Rachel’s back and get involved in her career, their future together is suddenly in doubt.

Schooled
“Introducing a witty new voice in literary fiction, Schooled explores the uneasiness that comes with trading high-powered business lunches for leftover macaroni and cheese and the importance of taking the little wins wherever you can find them.” —Booklist
Jack Parker didn’t set out to be a stay-at-home dad, but his professional dreams went up in smoke after he accidentally burned down his empty office building. Six years later, Jack’s got parenting his two kids down cold.
Then comes an unwelcome blast from Jack’s past: high school nemesis Chad Henson. He beat Jack out for class president, stole his girlfriend, and never had so much as a pimple in his four years of adolescent bliss. Now, Chad has moved to the same Midwest town Jack calls home.
When Jack learns Chad is running for president of the parent board at his daughter’s school, he decides to run to settle old scores. But parent politics prove more cutthroat than Jack could have imagined, and he’s facing unexpected challenges in his marriage too, forcing him to question his role in the family. Suddenly, the election is about more than Jack’s past. It’s an opportunity to discover the person he wants to become.
People grow up, but some high school rivalries never die. It’s time Chad Henson got schooled once and for all—and for Jack to learn a few things of his own.

You Know Who’s Awesome?
(Not You.)
Ever stop and think everyone is just so awesome?
Didn’t think so.
It’s just a fact—most people aren’t. But that doesn’t stop them from thinking that they are. And that shouldn’t stop you from mocking them. In fact, it should just encourage you.
Here’s your thumbs-up to giving the thumbs-down to everyone and everything that’s far from awesome and, really, just plain awful.
