Rainbow Rowell
Rainbow Rowell writes all kinds of stuff. Sometimes she writes about adults (ATTACHMENTS, LANDLINE, SLOW DANCE). Sometimes she writes about teenagers (ELEANOR & PARK, FANGIRL) . Sometimes — actually, a lot of the time — she writes about lovesick vampires and guys with dragon wings. (THE SIMON SNOW TRILOGY). Recently, she’s been writing comics, including her first graphic novel, PUMPKINHEADS, and the monthly SHE-HULK comic for Marvel.She lives in Omaha, Nebraska. More at rainbowrowell.com.
Carry On (Simon Snow, #1)
Rainbow Rowell
Simon Snow is the worst chosen one who’s ever been chosen.
That’s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right.
Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he sets something on fire. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around wearing Simon’s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here—it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.
Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story—but far, far more monsters.
Eleanor & Park
Rainbow Rowell
"Bono met his wife in high school," Park says.
"So did Jerry Lee Lewis," Eleanor answers.
"I'm not kidding," he says.
"You should be," she says, "we're 16."
"What about Romeo and Juliet?"
"Shallow, confused, then dead."
"I love you," Park says.
"Wherefore art thou," Eleanor answers.
"I'm not kidding," he says.
"You should be."
Set over one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park is the story of two star-crossed misfits—smart enough to know first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.
Wayward Son (Simon Snow, #2)
Rainbow Rowell
The story is supposed to be over.
Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after…
So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch?
What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light…
That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West.
They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place…
With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It’s another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter.
Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero’s journey might be over – but your life has just begun.
Any Way the Wind Blows (Simon Snow, #3)
Rainbow Rowell
In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong.
In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward.
For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages -- and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough.
Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet.
This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest.
Carry On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.
Landline
Rainbow Rowell
Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble; it has been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems beside the point now.
Maybe that was always beside the point.
Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn't expect him to pack up the kids and go home without her.
When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.
That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts...
Is that what she’s supposed to do?
Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?
Pumpkinheads
Rainbow Rowell
In Pumpkinheads author Rainbow Rowell and artist Faith Erin Hicks have teamed up to create this tender and hilarious story about two irresistible teens discovering what it means to leave behind a place―and a person―with no regrets.
Deja and Josiah are seasonal best friends.
Every autumn, all through high school, they’ve worked together at the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world. (Not many people know that the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world is in Omaha, Nebraska, but it definitely is.) They say good-bye every Halloween, and they’re reunited every September 1.But this Halloween is different—Josiah and Deja are finally seniors, and this is their last season at the pumpkin patch. Their last shift together. Their last good-bye.
Josiah’s ready to spend the whole night feeling melancholy about it. Deja isn’t ready to let him. She’s got a plan: What if—instead of moping and the usual slinging lima beans down at the Succotash Hut—they went out with a bang? They could see all the sights! Taste all the snacks! And Josiah could finally talk to that cute girl he’s been mooning over for three years . . .
What if their last shift was an adventure?

Attachments
Rainbow Rowell
"Hi, I'm the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you..."
Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It's company policy.) But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.
Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now—reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be "internet security officer," he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers—not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.
When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. But he can't help being entertained—and captivated—by their stories.
By the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself.
What would he say . . . ?
Kindred Spirits
Rainbow Rowell
'Everybody likes everything these days. The whole world is a nerd.'
'Are you mad because other people like Star Wars? Are you mad because people like me like Star Wars?'
'Maybe.'
If you broke Elena's heart, Star Wars would spill out. So when she decides to queue outside her local cinema to see the new movie, she's expecting a celebration with crowds of people who love Han, Luke and Leia just as much as she does. What she's not expecting is to be last in a line of only three people; to have to pee into a collectible Star Wars soda cup behind a dumpster or to meet that unlikely someone who just might truly understand the way she feels. Kindred Spirits is an engaging short story by Rainbow Rowell, author of the bestselling Eleanor & Park, Fangirl and Carry On, and is part of a handful of selected short reads specially produced for World Book Day.

Eleonora i Park

Eleonora… nie sposób jej nie zauważyć: rude włosy, dziwne ciuchy. Czyta mu przez ramię. Uważa Romea i Julię za bogate dzieciaki, które dostawały wszystko, co chciały. Najbardziej nie lubi weekendów, bo spędza je bez niego.
Park… Dobrze mu w czerni. Denerwuje się, gdy musi prowadzić samochód w obecności taty. Uwielbia imię Eleonory i nie skróciłby go ani o sylabę. Wie, która piosenka jej się spodoba, zanim ona zacznie jej słuchać. Śmieje się z jej dowcipów, zanim ona dotrze do puenty.
Oto tocząca się w ciągu jednego roku szkolnego opowieść o dwojgu szesnastolatkach urodzonych pod nieszczęśliwą gwiazdą – dość mądrych, by zdawać sobie sprawę, że pierwszej miłości prawie nigdy nie udaje się przetrwać, ale na tyle odważnych i zdesperowanych, by dać jej szansę.

Cath obožava Simona Snowa. Dobro, cijeli svijet obožava Simona Snowa. Ipak, Cath to daje smisao njezinom životu. Ona i njezina blizanka Wren zaljubile su se u ciklus o Simonu Snowu još dok su bile djevojčice, i to ih je održalo na životu nakon što ih je ostavila majka.
No Cathina sestra prerasla je tu priču i napušta fanovski svijet. I sada, kad su krenule na fakultet, Wren obavještava Cath kako ne želi da budu cimerice. Cath je prepuštena samoj sebi, ostavljena izvan svoje zone sigurnosti. Dobila je čangrizavu cimericu, čiji je šarmantni dečko vječito u blizini. Dobila je i profesoricu književnosti koja smatra da je fanfikcija propast civiliziranog svijeta te zgodnog kolegu koji želi razgovarati samo o riječima... Pored toga svega, Cath se ne prestaje zabrinjavati zbog svog tate, čovjeka krhka uma i velika srca, koji prvi put ostaje posve sam.
Može li Cath uspjeti a da je Wren ne drži stalno za ruku? Je li spremna započeti vlastiti život? I želi li uopće ići dalje sa životom, ako to znači da mora ostaviti Simona?

Nu renunța, Simon (Simon Snow #1)
Rainbow Rowell
Simon Snow și Basilton Grimm-Pitch sunt colegi de cameră încă din primul lor an la Watford. Dar doar pentru că n-au de ales, din moment ce sunt dușmani juruiți și cel mai probabil unul dintre ei va sfârși ucis de mâna celuilalt. Norocul lor că nu mai au mult de îndurat: ultimul an școlar, de altfel pe cale să înceapă, va fi și ultimul an în care vor locui împreună. Însă întors la Watford după vacanța de vară, Simon descoperă că Baz e de negăsit. Cum e posibil ca inamicul lui cel mai aprig să nu profite de ultima ocazie de a-i face viața un calvar? Și unde să fi dispărut fără urmă?
Neliniștit că Baz ar putea pune la cale vreun complot odios, dar și îngrijorat mai mult decât e pregătit să accepte că i s-ar fi putut întâmpla ceva, Simon se reîntoarce în lumea magiei, pe care o găsește la fel de fabuloasă, dar mai întunecată și mai populată de monștri ca niciodată. În plus, au trecut douăzeci de ani de la ultima ridicare a Vălului, ceea ce înseamnă că morților li se va permite din nou să treacă pragul dintre lumea lor și lumea celor vii.
„Nu renunța, Simon este o capodoperă. Un roman plin de suspans și provocator, amuzant și terifiant, profund emoționant și foarte, foarte magic. Credeți-mă pe cuvânt, n-ați mai auzit niciodată de o asemenea școală de magie.“ - Lev Grossman
„O poveste de dragoste genială, sinceră și captivantă despre adolesenți care nu pot fi împărțiți pe categorii și care încearcă să reziste stresului, suferinței și provocării de a nu-și ascunde adevăratele identități. Zici că Rowell a întors pe dos cărțile din universul Harry Potter și ne arată părțile lor ascunse și absolut uluitoare.“ - Time Magazine
„Aprovizionați-vă cu mai multe exemplare; titlul ăsta cere să fie citit și răscitit.“ - Booklist

They were just friends. Best friends. Allies. They spent entire summers sitting on Shiloh’s porch steps, dreaming about the future. They were both going to get out of north Omaha—Shiloh would go to college and become an actress, and Cary would join the Navy. They promised each other that their friendship would never change.
Well, Shiloh did go to college, and Cary did join the Navy. And yet, somehow, everything changed.
Now Shiloh’s thirty-three, and it’s been fourteen years since she talked to Cary. She’s been married and divorced. She has two kids. And she’s back living in the same house she grew up in. Her life is nothing like she planned.
When she’s invited to an old friend’s wedding, all Shiloh can think about is whether Cary will be there—and whether she hopes he will be. Would Cary even want to talk to her? After everything?
The answer is yes. And yes. And yes.
Slow Dance is the story of two kids who fell in love before they knew enough about love to recognize it. Two friends who lost everything. Two adults who just feel lost.
It’s the story of Shiloh and Cary, who everyone thought would end up together, trying to find their way back to the start.
La última noche
Rainbow Rowell
Cada otoño, Deja y Josiah trabajan juntos en la Feria de la Calabaza más alucinante del mundo. Se despiden en Halloween y se reúnen el 1 de septiembre del año siguiente para retomar la faena.

Pero Deja tiene un plan: ¿y si se despidieran por todo lo alto? ¿Y si su último encuentro se convirtiera en una gran aventura?
Por Um Fio
Rainbow Rowell
Se tivesses uma segunda oportunidade no amor, tomarias a mesmas decisões?
Georgie McCool sabe que o seu casamento está por um fio. Ela ainda ama o marido, Neal, e o marido ainda a ama a ela – mas a química desapareceu. Dois dias antes de visitarem a família de Neal, Georgie informa-o de que não irá com ele. Ela é argumentista de televisão e o seu emprego exige a sua presença. Sabe que Neal irá ficar chateado mas nunca pensou que ele fizesse as malas e partisse sem ela. Atormentada pela sua decisão, Georgie pensa que deitou tudo a perder. Até que descobre uma forma de comunicar com a versão mais nova do marido… no passado. Não sendo exatamente uma viagem no tempo, Georgie sente que recebeu uma nova oportunidade de salvar o seu casamento ainda antes de ele começar. Mas será que é isso que ela realmente quer?
Elenanor & Park
Rainbow Rowell
To uvanlige mennesker.
Én stor kjærlighet.
Eleanor... Rødt hår, rare klær. Står rett bak ham helt til han snur seg. Ligger ved siden av ham helt til han våkner. Får alle andre til å virke grå og triste og kjedelige...
Park... Han vet hvilken sang hun vil høre før hun har sagt noe. Han begynner å le av vitsene hennes før hun har kommet til poenget. Det er et søkk i brystet hans, like under halsen, som gjør at hun får lyst til å love ham alt i verden, og holde det...
Elenor og Park er to forelskede sekstenåringer som er kloke nok til å vite at den første kjærligheten sjelden varer, men som likevel er modige og desperate nok til å forsøke.
Ligações
Rainbow Rowell
Georgie McCool sabe que seu casamento está estagnado. Tem sido assim por um bom tempo. Ela ainda ama seu marido, Neal, e ele também a ama, profundamente – mas o relacionamento entre eles parece estar em segundo plano a essa altura.
Talvez sempre esteve em segundo plano.
Dois dias antes da tão planejada viagem para passar o Natal com a família do marido em Omaha, Georgie diz a ele que não poderá ir, por conta de uma proposta de trabalho irrecusável. Ela sabia que ele ficaria chateado – Neal está sempre um pouco chateado com Georgie –, mas não a ponto de fazer as malas e viajar sozinho com as crianças.
Então, quando Neal e as filhas partem para o aeroporto, ela começa a se perguntar se finalmente conseguiu. Se finalmente arruinou tudo.
Mas Georgie estava prestes a descobrir algo inacreditável: uma maneira de se comunicar com Neal no passado. Não se trata de uma viagem no tempo, não exatamente, mas ela sente como se isso fosse uma oportunidade única para consertar o seu casamento – antes mesmo de acontecer...
Será que é isso mesmo o que ela deve fazer?
Ou ambos estariam melhor se o seu casamento jamais tivesse acontecido?

O Filho Rebelde (Simon Snow, #2)
Rainbow Rowell
Simon Snow venceu. Ele pôs fim às forças do mal que ameaçavam destruir o Mundo dos Magos. Tudo deu certo. Ou quase. Porque, agora, Simon perdeu toda a sua magia. Ele não passa de um normal… Bom, tirando o fato de ter asas e um rabo de dragão.
Vendo o melhor amigo mergulhar em um desânimo cada vez maior, Penelope decide levar Simon e Baz em uma viagem de carro para visitarem Agatha, que agora mora na Califórnia. O que era para ser um passeio divertido se mostra muito mais desafiador do que imaginavam. Afinal, os Estados Unidos abrigam todo tipo de criatura mágica mal-intencionada e disposta a causar problemas.
Em meio a uma confusão enorme com uma legião de vampiros e outros seres malignos, talvez Simon finalmente seja capaz de reunir a força necessária para seguir em frente ― e deixar algumas pessoas para trás.
Sempre em frente (Simon Snow, #1)
Rainbow Rowell
Simon Snow é o Escolhido. Segundo as lendas, ele é o feiticeiro que garantirá a paz no Mundo dos Magos. Isso seria extraordinário se Simon não fosse desastrado, esquecido e um feiticeiro pouco habilidoso, incapaz de controlar seus poderes. Ele está no penúltimo ano da Escola de Magia de Watford, e, ao lado de sua melhor amiga Penelope e sua namorada Agatha, já se meteu nas mais variadas aventuras e confusões ― algumas causadas por Baz, seu arqui-inimigo e colega de quarto, outras pelo Oco, um ser maligno que há tempos tenta acabar com Simon.
Quando chega o novo ano letivo e Baz não aparece na escola, Simon suspeita que o garoto esteja tramando alguma coisa contra ele. As coisas começam a tomar um rumo ainda mais estranho quando o espírito da mãe de Baz, antiga diretora de Watford, aparece para Simon afirmando que quem a matou continua à solta. Quando Baz finalmente chega a Watford sob circunstâncias misteriosas, Simon não vê alternativa a não ser ajudá-lo a vingar a morte da mãe ― o que pode ser o primeiro passo para que verdades avassaladoras sobre o Mundo dos Magos sejam reveladas. E para que tudo mude entre os dois garotos.

Eleanor and Park
Rainbow Rowell
Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.
Eleanor... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.
Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.
Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.
Limited collector’s edition of Eleanor & Park features a new jacket, an exclusive Q&A with author Rainbow Rowell, and several stunning pieces of fan art.

Eleanor y Park
Rainbow Rowell
Eleanor es nueva en el instituto; su vida familiar es un desastre; con su intenso pelo rojo, su extraña y poco conjuntada forma de vestir no podría llamar más la atención aunque se lo propusiese.
Park es un chico mitad coreano; su vida familiar es tranquila; no es exactamente popular, pero con sus camisetas negras, sus cascos y sus libros ha conseguido ser invisible.
Todo empieza cuando Park accede a que Eleanor se siente a su lado en el autobús del instituto el primer día de clase. Al principio ni siquiera se hablan, pero poco a poco comparten sus hobbies y empiezan una relación de amistad... para terminar enamorándose de la forma en que te enamoras la primera vez, cuando eres joven, y sientes que no tienes nada y todo que perder.
Música Lenta
Rainbow Rowell
Da mesma autora do grande sucesso Eleanor & Park.
No colégio, todos pensavam que Shiloh e Cary acabariam juntos… exceto Shiloh e Cary.
Eles eram apenas amigos. Aliados. Passaram verões inteiros sentados nos degraus da varanda, sonhando com o futuro. Os dois sairiam de Omaha ― Shiloh iria para a faculdade e se tornaria atriz, e Cary ingressaria na Marinha. Mas eles prometeram um ao outro que a amizade nunca mudaria.
Bem... Shiloh foi para a faculdade, e Cary ingressou na Marinha. E ainda assim, de alguma forma, tudo mudou.
Agora Shiloh está com trinta e três anos e já se passaram catorze desde sua última conversa com Cary. Ela se casou e se divorciou. Teve dois filhos. E voltou a morar com a mãe, na mesma casa em que cresceu e da qual tanto queria escapar. Sua vida não se saiu em nada como ela planejou.
Ao ser convidada para o casamento de um velho amigo, Shiloh só consegue pensar se Cary estará lá ― e se ela gostaria que estivesse. Será que Cary ia querer vê-la? Depois de tudo?
A resposta é sim. E sim. E sim.
Música lenta é a história de duas crianças que se apaixonaram antes de saberem o suficiente sobre o amor para reconhecê-lo. De dois amigos que se afastaram. De dois adultos que se sentiam perdidos.
É a história de Shiloh e Cary, que todos pensavam que acabariam juntos, tentando encontrar o caminho de volta um para o outro.
Universos afins (Portuguese Edition)
Rainbow Rowell
Estar numa fila não é uma situação das mais agradáveis. Porém, para a jovem Elena, acampar na frente do cinema só para acompanhar a estreia do mais novo Star Wars é nada menos que uma grande jornada. O problema é que em dias de internet (e compras de ingressos on-line), essa vibe de fila não é compartilhada por muitos outros fãs. Ao chegar ao cinema, dias antes da estreia, só há mais duas pessoas ali acampadas: Gabe e Troy, que entendem a fila como um ritual obrigatório para tornar aquela experiência algo realmente memorável. Universos afins é um saboroso conto geek sobre expectativas e sobre compartilhar paixões. Rainbow Rowell mais uma vez apresenta uma obra inocente e engraçada, com aquela pontinha de nostalgia que nos deixa com um nó na garganta, como há muito tempo atrás, numa galáxia muito, muito distante. Autor Rainbow Rowell escreve livros. Às vezes sobre adultos, às vezes sobre adolescentes. Mas sempre sobre pessoas que falam muito. E pessoas que sentem como se estragassem tudo. E pessoas que se apaixonam. Quando não está escrevendo, Rainbow lê quadrinhos, planeja viagens à Disney e discute sobre coisas que, na realidade, não importam. Ela alcançou sucesso no mercado editorial com o bestseller Eleanor & Park.
Adonde el viento nos lleve (Simon Snow 3)
Rainbow Rowell
In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong.
In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward.
For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages -- and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled a cursed American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough.
Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet.
This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest.
Carry On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.
Rebelde (Simon Snow, #2)
Rainbow Rowell
Esta historia es para los que quieren saber qué pasa con el Elegido después de que salve el mundo. Para los que sienten más curiosidad por el segundo beso que por el primero.
Simon Snow ha hecho todo lo que se suponía que había que hacer: vencer al malo, ganar la guerra...¡hasta se ha enamorado! Simon y Baz ya pueden vivir felices y comer perdices...
Pero entonces, ¿por qué está Simon tirado en el sofá?
Lo que necesita, según su mejor amiga, es un cambio de aires. Y así es como Simon, Penny, y Baz terminan cruzando el salvaje Oeste americano en un descapotable antiguo.
Venga, Simon Snow. Aunque tu heroica misión haya terminado, tu vida no ha hecho más que empezar.

Fangirl
Rainbow Rowell
A coming-of-age tale of fanfiction, family, and first love.
Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan.... But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she's really good at it. She and her twin, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it's what got them through their mother leaving.
Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fanfiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere. Cath's sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can't let go. She doesn't want to.
Now that they're going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn't want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She's got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend; a fiction-writing professor who thinks fanfiction is the end of the civilized world; a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words... and she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?
