Set against long Texas summers filled with pinky promises and the bittersweet magic of growing up, The Things We Swore We'd Never Do, a new story from Jillian Dodd, is about losing your person and learning how to live a little louder in the silence they leave behind.Growing up one broken rule at a time.It started with a list.The things we swore we'd never do.Kiss boys. Lie to our parents. Wear push-up bras.We were nine years old and certain of everything.McKenna Moore was everything I wasn't—fearless, opinionated, and always one step ahead. I was the quiet one, never needing to be the center of anything. But standing next to her always made me feel braver.We spent summers at the lake, made pinky promises in the dark, and bottled our girlhood like fireflies in a jar.We thought we had forever.But growing up has a way of breaking things wide open.Of shattering the pieces you thought would always fit.Now the list is back—and her older brother, Callum, the boy who faded from our world as we grew up, wants me to finish it.He wants me to break every rule we swore we never would.Every crossed-out line, every broken rule, feels like a step toward something I'm not sure I'm ready for.But maybe becoming who you are means letting go of who you thought you'd always be.

Everyone knows the tale—that whoever you kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve will be the person you spend the rest of the year with. And at fifteen, Aubrey Lane Arrington is optimistically hoping that her first kiss will not only happen over the holidays, but that it will also be with her best friend and crush, Branson Johnson.  They've been friends since they were kids and next fall, she'll be joining him at Eastbrooke Academy. He's hinted at their friendship turning into more, but as the holiday season progresses, she's still stuck in the friend zone.  His cousin Beckham Johnson, on the other hand, doesn't believe in the friend zone. His cocky personality and charisma make him the ultimate flirt, so she's never taken him seriously. But when he changes his plans to spend New Year's Eve with her, Lane will have to make a decision.  Will her first kiss be with her longtime crush, or will someone new sweep her off her feet? Find out when the clock strikes midnight!
