The Herd

In 2009, Edie had New York's social world in her thrall, the shining star of a group of recent graduates living in a Brooklyn loft.

Stuff Hipsters Hate

Bestseller New York Times "Un roman cu întorsături de situație nebune ști, pentru care va trebui să renunțați la planurile de vineri seara, doar ca să mai citiți câteva capitole." – Reese Whiterspoon Secrete, minciuni și prieteni care au prea multă încredere Emily și Kristen sunt prietene bune și se întâlnesc an de an pentru a-și petrece o vacanță împreună. În ultima seară din călătoria lor în Chile, Emily găsește camera plină de sânge și de cioburi, iar Kristen îi spune că excursionistul pe care-l sedusese a atacat-o și a fost silită să-l omoare. Numai că scena seamănă înfricoșător de mult cu cea din vacanța trecută, când fusese ucis un alt turist. Întoarsă acasă, Emily se aruncă într-o nouă relație și se cufundă în muncă, dar când Kristen apare pe neașteptate, e nevoită să privească în față trecutul lor violent. Și pune tot mai mult la îndoială explicațiile prietenei sale. Oare poate să facă față secretelor comune sau acestea vor ajunge să-i distrugă relația, libertatea și chiar viața? „O vivisecție magistrală a comunicării și competiției dintre femei." – Los Angeles Times „O carte care analizează cu măiestrie prietenia toxică în formă extremă. Ne arată că uneori ar trebui să ne temem mult mai mult de prieteni decât de străini." – The New York Times Bookreview „Dincolo de momentele captivante de suspans și intriga cu un ritm impecabil, se află un portret lucid al prieteniei dintre femei care demonstrează cât de magică și intensă poate deveni aceasta." – NPR „Un thriller psihologic scris elegant, care te umple de fiori." – Reader’s Digest „Un roman minunat, care combină elemente demne de Hitchcock cu accente din Patricia Highsmith." – Booklist

Hipsters are easily identified by their worn-out shoes, fixies and PBR tallboys, but until now no one had investigated beyond the hipster look to the even more hilarious hipster psyche. With personally researched articles, revealing illustrations and helpful charts and graphs, Stuff Hipsters Hate exposes the bottomless well of impassioned scorn that motivates the ever-apathetic hipster, including: MATING AND SOCIAL HATES ♦buying you a drink ♦monogamy ♦texting back in a timely fashion APPAREL AND GROOMING HATES ♦high heels ♦muscles ♦being asked about their tattoos WORK AND LIFE HATES ♦full-time jobs ♦knowing their bank balance ♦enthusiasm
