Six moments lead us to two girls, one kiss, and three little words that were maybe always true in this gorgeous novel perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and Jenny Han. Penny and Tate have always clashed. Unfortunately, their mothers are lifelong best friends, so the girls’ bickering has carried them through playdates, tragedy, and more than one rom-com marathon with the Moms. When Penny’s mother decides to become a living donor to Tate’s mom, ending her wait for a liver transplant, things go from clashing to cataclysmic. Because in order to help their families recover physically, emotionally, and financially, the Moms combine their households the summer before senior year. So Penny and Tate make a pact: They’ll play nice. Be the drama-free daughters their mothers need through this scary and hopeful time. There’s only one little hitch in their plan: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing. It’s just this confusing thing that keeps happening. You know, from time to time. For basically their entire teenaged existence. They’ve never talked about it. They’ve always ignored it in the aftermath. But now they’re living across the hall from each other. And some things—like their kisses—can’t be almosts forever.

Nadie sabe engañar mejor que Nora O’Malley. Prepárate para un thriller inteligente que te llevará por donde menos lo esperas. Para saber quién soy, primero necesitas conocer mi historia. Porque no soy Nora, esa chica normal, con una vida normal en un vecindario normal… Este es solo un disfraz bajo el que me escondo desde hace algunos años. Y todo iba según lo planeado hasta esta mañana, cuando me convertí en rehén de un atraco a un banco, a punta de pistola. Pero si hay alguien que pueda lidiar con esta situación, soy yo. Porque los atracadores no tienen ni idea de a quién han retenido y para cuando se den cuenta, será demasiado tarde.

Nora O'Malley heeft in haar leven al veel rollen gespeeld. Als dochter van een professionele oplichtster die foute, criminele mannen belazert, groeide ze op als haar moeders protegee. Maar toen haar moeder op een dag als een blok voor een van haar gevaarlijke doelwitten viel, wist Nora precies wat ze moest doen: ontsnappen. Vijf jaar lang heeft Nora een perfect normaal leven weten te leiden, maar nu zal ze haar oude kunstjes weer onder het stof vandaan moeten halen. Ze heeft namelijk drie problemen: #1: Haar ex-vriend betrapte haar met haar nieuwe vriendin, Iris. Ze waren allemaal vrienden, maar dat zou nu weleens kunnen veranderen. Au. #2: De ochtend nadat ze zijn betrapt moeten ze met z'n drieën naar de bank om geld dat ze hebben opgehaald voor het goede doel te storten. Dit blijkt niet alleen ontzettend ongemakkelijk te zijn, maar zelfs dodelijk, want: #3: Net nadat ze de bank in zijn gelopen, komen er twee overvallers binnen. De overvallers mogen misschien gevaarlijk zijn, Nora heeft meer lef in haar pink dan de twee in hun hele lijf. En ze hebben geen idee wie ze daadwerkelijk gegijzeld hebben...

Quand deux braqueurs attaquent une banque d'une petite ville tranquille des Etats-Unis, ils ne se doutent pas que parmi leurs otages se trouve plus coriace qu'eux... Nora était venue déposer de l'argent avec son ex-petit ami et sa nouvelle petite copine. Or Nora est la fille d'une escroc de haut vol. Elle a fui à 12 ans cette mère manipulatrice et son amant malfrat, et se cache depuis 5 ans sous une fausse identité. Elle va déployer tous ses talents et se replonger malgré elle dans son passé pour sauver sa vie et celle de ses amis.

Murder either bonds you or breaks you. Rural PI Mel Tillman knows this well. She's seen her fair share of bloody cases and botched cover-ups. But killing with someone? That is a different kind of mess all together, and Mel's got real experience with it. No one's heard from Toby Dunne since Chloe Harper's sweet sixteen party--because the birthday girl and sixteen-year-old Mel buried him so deep in the backwoods, no one's ever finding him. Mel loses little sleep over it--Toby had been terrorizing them. What she does lose sleep over is Chloe, the girl with whom she survived that horrible night in the woods. Chloe, the girl she fell in love with. Chloe, the girl who disappeared and hasn't been seen in more than six years. Tasked with locating Chloe by her family, Mel can't resist the call of a good chase, or finding the one who got away with her heart (and with murder). When Mel finds an armed and vigilant Chloe living off-grid in a highly booby-trapped patch of Canadian wilderness, she realizes that Chloe had been expecting someone other than her ex to come looking for her. The thing that's kept Chloe going for years is that she's kept Mel safe by running. Now, the truth must come out as they run for their lives once again. Because when they buried Toby Dunne in the backwoods, they buried something else, too. Something Toby took. And the powerful family he stole it from? They'll do anything to get it back.

Sus madres son mejores amigas de toda la vida. ¿Ellas? A los 7 años, apenas se soportaban. A los 11, casi se pelean a puñetazos. Y, ahora, a los 17, se ignoran a conciencia. Salvo en las ocasiones en las que sus vidas se tocan demasiado de cerca. Porque entonces hay instantes en los que casi... casi... Y esos instantes se han hecho muy frecuentes, porque la madre de Penny ha decidido donarle un trozo de su hígado a la de Tate. Es el momento de saber si las cosas que «casi» se van a convertir en las cosas que «sí».

Quand la vérité ne vous laisse plus respirer... Unanimement salué aux États-Unis par la critique, ce roman ravira les fans de Nos étoiles contraires. Sophie Winters a failli mourir. Deux fois. La première fois, elle est âgée de quatorze ans et réchappe à un terrible accident de voiture qui la laisse avec de multiples cicatrices, une jambe qui boite et une dépendance à l'oxycodone, un puissant antidouleur dont il lui faudra plusieurs années pour se désintoxiquer. La seconde fois, elle a dix-sept ans, et ce n'est plus un accident. Sophie et sa meilleure amie Mina se font attaquer dans les bois par un homme masqué. Sophie survit, mais Mina n'a pas cette chance. Lorsque les policiers concluent à un deal de drogue qui a mal tourné, rejetant partiellement la faute sur Sophie, personne ne veut croire ce qui est pourtant la vérité : cela fait plusieurs mois que Sophie est clean, et c'est Mina qui l'a conduite dans les bois lors de cette nuit fatale pour un rendez-vous auréolé de mystère. Après un séjour forcé en cure de désintoxication, Sophie revient chez elle se confronter à une nouvelle réalité plus que glaçante. Le frère de Mina ne veut plus lui adresser la parole, ses parents craignent qu'elle ne fasse une rechute, ses anciens amis sont devenus des ennemis, et Sophie doit réapprendre à vivre sans celle qui était sa moitié. Pire encore, personne ne se pose les bonnes questions et Sophie va devoir démasquer le meurtrier par ses propres moyens. Mais à chaque petit pas qu'elle fait, Sophie s'approche davantage d'une révélation totale, sur elle-même, sur Mina... et sur le secret que les deux amies partageaient.
