Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.

Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start... until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right.

That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.

Emily Henry’s stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s Wife, and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school, when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths we’ve left untaken.

For as long as Jack “June” O’Donnell has been alive, her parents have had only one rule: stay away from the Angert family. But when June collides—quite literally—with Saul Angert, sparks fly, and everything June has known is thrown into chaos.

Who exactly is this gruff, sarcastic, but seemingly harmless boy who has returned to their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, after three mysterious years away? And why has June—an O’Donnell to her core—never questioned her late father’s deep hatred of the Angert family? After all, the O’Donnells and the Angerts may have mythic legacies, but for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them.

As Saul and June’s connection grows deeper, they find that the magic, ghosts, and coywolves of Five Fingers seem to be conspiring to reveal the truth about the harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations. Now June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored, and she must decide whether it’s finally time for her—and all the O’Donnells before her—to let go.

Almost everyone in the small town of Splendor, Ohio, was affected when the local steel mill exploded. If you weren’t a casualty of the accident yourself, chances are a loved one was. That’s the case for seventeen-year-old Franny, who, five years after the explosion, still has to stand by and do nothing as her brother lies in a coma.

In the wake of the tragedy, Franny found solace in a group of friends whose experiences mirrored her own. The group calls themselves The Ordinary, and they spend their free time investigating local ghost stories and legends, filming their exploits for their small following of YouTube fans. It’s silly, it’s fun, and it keeps them from dwelling on the sadness that surrounds them.

Until one evening, when the strange and dangerous thing they film isn’t fiction–it’s a bright light, something massive hurdling toward them from the sky. And when it crashes and the teens go to investigate…everything changes.

Elles en ont marre de se taire et d'obéir... la rébellion les attend sur la route !

Winona déteste sa vie parfaite et bien rangée. Surtout, elle ne supporte plus son père, célébrité que tout le monde adule. Car personne ne sait que derrière cette figure joviale se cache un être brutal et abusif.

Lucille étouffe sous le poids des attentes de sa mère incapable de subvenir à leurs besoins. Elle n'en peut plus de son frère dealeur, qui la prend pour son esclave.

Winona et Lucille n'auraient jamais dû se rencontrer. Elles se retrouvent pourtant un soir, complètement dévastées, devant le même commissariat. C'est le coup de foudre amical ! Au lieu de porter plainte, les deux filles décident de s'entraider jusqu'à la fin du lycée.

Mais, un jour, elles craquent ensemble : il leur faut un moyen d'évasion rapide. Rien de tel qu'une voiture " empruntée " pour fuir l'insoutenable ! Embarquées dans un road trip à travers les États-Unis, elles vont tout tenter pour changer le cours de leur histoire.

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn’t see coming…

Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute.

If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

Harriet et Wyn forment le couple idéal : ils vont ensemble comme le pain et le beurre, le gin et le tonic, Blake Lively et Ryan Reynolds.

Pourtant cet été, ils vont devoir mentir à leurs amis... Car Harriet et Wyn ont rompu six mois plus tôt, et personne n'est encore au courant. Ce sont leurs dernières vacances dans le cottage où ils retrouvent la même bande de copains depuis dix ans, et ils ne veulent pas gâcher ce moment précieux... alors ils vont jouer la comédie une semaine de plus. A priori, c'est un plan parfait - enfin, si vous le regardez de loin, à travers des lunettes de soleil enduites de crème solaire.

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.

Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads —Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?

But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

Deux meilleurs amis.

Dix road trips.

Une dernière chance de tomber amoureux.

Poppy et Alex n'ont absolument rien en commun. Il est grand, calme et aime rester chez lui avec un bon livre. Elle est petite, grande gueule, mordue de fêtes et de voyage. Pourtant, ils sont les meilleurs amis du monde. Depuis dix ans, chaque été, ils se donnent rendez-vous pour une semaine de vacances ensemble.

Jusqu'à il y a deux ans, quand ils ont tout gâché...

Coincée dans son train-train quotidien, Poppy ne rêve que d'une chose : retrouver son ami et leur traditionnel road trip estival. Lorsqu'Alex accepte de repartir avec elle, Poppy sait que c'est sa dernière chance de tout arranger entre eux. Mais après deux ans de silence, peuvent-ils vraiment faire comme si rien ne s'était passé ?

La nouvelle reine de la comédie romantique revient avec un roman pétillant, qui vous laissera une douce impression de chaleur et de nostalgie, comme au retour des meilleures vacances.

Augustus Everett est un écrivain " sérieux ", considéré comme le nouveau génie des lettres américaines. January Andrews ne compte plus les bestsellers publiés, mais dans un tout autre registre : la comédie romantique. Si elle multiplie les happy endings, Augustus réserve à ses personnages des destins épouvantables.

Aux antipodes l'un de l'autre, ils vont néanmoins se croiser et se lancer un défi. Elle passera l'été à écrire un grand roman littéraire, lui s'essayera à une comédie sentimentale. Afin de trouver l'inspiration, January organise pour Augustus des excursions romantiques, et lui l'emmène à la rencontre de personnes à l'existence brisée.

Chacun devra achever son roman avant la rentrée et, bien évidemment, aucun des deux n'imagine tomber amoureux. Bien évidemment.

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.

Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.

Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.

Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.

Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
