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.

У главной героини, Изабеллы, жизнь не удалась: карьера актрисы не сложилась, наряды оставляют желать лучшего, диван разваливается, а от бойфренда никакого толку. После особенно неудачного Рождества она решает взяться за ум и рассылает свое резюме повсюду. И, о счастье, ее действительно приглашают на работу в цирк: только вот от нее ожидают профессиональных акробатических трюков, а у нее даже в школе с физкультурой было не очень. Однако Изабелла не из тех, кто опускает руки, поэтому она находит тренера и начинает учиться крутить сальто. Казалось бы, что может пойти не так?

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.

De detrás de las rosas silvestres de los establos se arrastra una persona muy peculiar y Carl Jonas Love Almqvist, pensador y autor sueco radical, se encarga de su educación. Llamará al niño Ros (Rosa) y le formará en el espíritu de Rousseau, fuera del marco de la sociedad.

Barbie Moreno es una chica del clima que "Se había prometido a sí misma que jamás volvería a bailar en un chiquichor a cuarenta grados afuera de un depósito de cerveza para una bola de macuarros".
