His dad says it's a big misunderstanding, but he's now at a rehab center for people who are having problems, like being addicted to drugs or gambling.

It happened on a sunday / by Wolff, Tracy,author.;
They call her the Black Widow. A pop star. A tabloid tragedy. A girl who set the world on fire -- and got burned in return. But Sloane Walker doesn't care what they say. Not anymore. The headlines, the hashtags, the rumors that never die? Let them come. She's survived worse -- like the ex who tried to kill her and the fans who blamed her for surviving. These days, she's armor and eyeliner, singing songs that hurt and pretending they don't. She's halfway through a sold-out tour and dangerously close to unraveling when a meet-and-greet throws her into the path of Mateo Sylvester -- a rising star quarterback with a devastating smile and a grandmother who's Sloane's biggest fan. He's got stadiums at his feet and the press eating from his hand. She's got a flask full of sweet tea, a voice full of ghosts, and no patience for golden boys with good intentions. She tells herself it's just a photo op. Just another handshake. Just another charming fan with perfect cheekbones and no idea what it means to bleed for your art. But Mateo sees more than the stage persona. He sees the cracks in her smile. The songs she's too scared to write. The girl underneath the glitter, still fighting to stay. They weren't supposed to fall. Not in the spotlight. Not when the world is watching. And definitely not when the people closest to them would do anything to keep them apart. This isn't a fairy tale. It's a slow-motion car crash. And if they're not careful, it might just cost them everything.

We meant well : a novel / by Hasan, Erum Shazia,author.;
"A propulsive debut that grapples with timely questions about what it means to be charitable, who deserves what, and who gets the power to decide. It's the middle of the night in Los Angeles when Maya, a married mother of one, receives the phone call. Her colleague Marc has been accused of assaulting a local girl in Likanni, where they operate a charitable orphanage. Can she get on the next flight? When Maya arrives, protesters surround the compound. The accuser is Lele, her former proťǧ and the chief's daughter. There are no witnesses, no proof of any crime. What happened that night? And what will happen to the orphanage if this becomes a scandal? Caught between Marc and Lele, the charity and the villagers, her marriage and new temptations, and between worlds, Maya lives the secret contradictions of the aid worker: there to serve the most deprived, but ultimately there to govern. As Maya feels the pleasures, freedoms, and humanity of life in Likanni, she recognizes that her American life is inextricably woven into this violent reality -- and that dishonesty in one place affects the realities in another."--
