Featured Titles:
Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle
Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. For over twenty years, every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. Finally, the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there’s a paper with no expiration date and a name: Jake. But as Jake and Daphne’s story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the paper’s prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful. Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn’t, information that—if he found out—would break his heart.
