    Summary

    Isabel Conklin has a plan. A career in private equity. A fully-funded Roth IRA. A boyfriend who looks good in photos and gets along with her parents.

    What she doesn’t have is any desire to get engaged at her own birthday dinner—especially not in front of two sets of parents, one suspiciously expensive cake, and her childhood best friend Conrad, who just flew back into town looking unfairly good in black.

    Wry, sharply observant, and just a little unhinged, First Call is a love letter to the best friends who know you too well, the plans that fall apart, and the unexpected things that happen when you finally stop pretending you have it all figured out.

    Summary

    The war is over and a mass exodus of Death Eaters has drawn the ire of the wider Wizarding World against the Ministry. The International Confederation of Wizards has instituted a Travel Ban against all British witches and wizards. Auror Harry Potter is working tirelessly to fix things, but Hermione can’t wait any longer to retrieve her parents, and she’s going no matter what the law says. She’s been by his side for everything, the least he can do is be at hers for this.

    In Australia, forced to forgo the use of magic, they’ll soon find that in a land of inverted seasons and upside-down emotions, everything is not always as it seems.

    Summary

    Takes place after B2/S2 to Bonrad endgame; Jeremiah and Belly "haven't had sex yet" but without the doomed teen wedding plot:

    "Of course, Conrad wouldn’t show. Even though he was the first one to say he’d be there when he left Belly and Jere at the motel. More “I didn’t mean it” whiplash courtesy of Conrad Fisher..."

    "It hit her like a ton of bricks. Conrad really wasn’t coming. Her summer family would never be whole again. And it was her fault."
