You know that old saying “opposites attract” - well, no one ever tells you what happens after the attraction part. Do opposites stick together forever? Or do they just self-combust? And then there’s the third option: Someone or something forces them apart. Look, the third option isn’t happening to us. I will end the bastard who thinks he can keep me from her. I only need to worry about one thing.... Epic, soul-crushing self-destruction. Because I screw up everything I touch. Even her.

Four lives. Four stories. Four sets of letters. Four brave souls in need of guidance while facing life's greatest challenges. The anonymously published Dear Life program is designed to help them step outside of their comfort zones, face their obstacles, and relinquish their demons...and prove their existence.

BRIAR - I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother’s window five years ago. Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen. We couldn't ever be together. I was too young, and he was too untouchable. He was too troubled, and I was too naive. ASHER - I was drawn to Briar Vale from the first time she looked up at me with stars in her blue eyes. We could never be together. I was too old and she was too off limits....

If someone had told me a year ago that I was about to fall in love, go on an epic road trip, ride a Triceratops, sing on a bar, and lose my virginity, I would have assumed they were on drugs. Well, that is, until I met Beckham. Beck was mostly to blame for my recklessness.

Grace Hamilton was the girl with a plan. She knew exactly where her life was going and prided herself on always achieving her goals. It was who she was, and how she lived her life. She never stepped outside the lines, and never considered what she might desire and whom she was actually trying so hard to please. Until him...

La douăzeci şi patru de ani, Mathilde şi-a abandonat studiile de master pentru o slujbă insipidă şi comodă, locuieşte cu chirie într-un apartament împreună cu două fete serioase şi plictisitoare, se împiedică în relaţii sentimentale pasagere şi îşi îneacă nefericirea în băutură. Totuşi, din ziua nefastă cînd pierde plicul cu cei 10.000 de euro destinaţi renovării locuinţei, viaţa ei îşi schimbă cursul, rezervîndu-i un şir de surprize, poate o iubire neaşteptată.

Trần Diệu Lan, who was born in 1920, was forced to flee her family farm with her six children during the Land Reform as the Communist government rose in the North.

El afinador de habitaciones es una narración desbordante en la que se suceden sin descanso las filias literarias del narrador - un adolescente algo excéntrico - sus manías compulsivas, su ansiedad mitigada a base de coñac, sus encrucijadas sentimentales, obsesivas y caóticas, y las visitas de desasosegantes presencias de ultratumba. Sus pensamientos se mueven entre la inteligencia de un superdotado y la candidez de un adolescente, entre el humor más cínico y el más ingenuo del mundo.

Literally - cut boys from my life. Permanently. Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

Llamará al niño Ros (Rosa) y le formará en el espíritu de Rousseau, fuera del marco de la sociedad.
