Thank you! #AngstORama

Tears pool in your eyes. "I've always been afraid to drown," you whisper. I have no words of comfort for you. "Rocky!" He has to have some kind of trick or idea. The voice in my earpiece is small and humble—not like Rocky at all. "I told you she wasn't pot roast." And Clara, you're crying. You're so strong, but you're crying. "When you get back to your world," you whisper, "you'll thank Rocky for trying?" Rocky curses softly. Titanic Voyage by Julie Bihn. $3.99 at major retailers.

"Titanic Voyage, available now." Book cover with a floating, glowing porthole with a man walking the Titanic (?) deck and a light above him. Behind the porthole is a night sky, a silhouette of roller coaster tracks, and water. Arrows point at the image: *Slice of life + angsty romance + grief *Time travel via a struggling amusement park *Emotional hero, sweet heroine *Teenage computer genius sidekick *NO VILLAINS (unless you count the iceberg?) *Oops all cinnamon rolls *Maybe second-person? *Hopeful ending

And Clara, you're crying. You're so strong, but you're crying.

"When you get back to your world," you whisper, "you'll thank Rocky for trying?"

Rocky curses softly.
