    \n
  1. Sherry Thomas’ Miss Moriarty, I Presume?<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Beth and Amy<\/em> by Virginia Kantra<\/li>\n
  3. The Lincoln Highway<\/em>\u00a0by Amor Towles<\/li>\n
  4. The Road Trip<\/em> by Beth O’Leary<\/li>\n

  6. Aurora\u2019s End<\/em>\u00a0by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff<\/li>\n
  7. Kate in Waiting<\/em> by Becky Albertalli<\/li>\n
