Just for Clicks

Sophie Kinsella meets Sarah Dessen in the most hilarious, romantic book of the summer about a girl with social anxiety and the boy who refuses to let her hide herself away. Seventeen-year-old Gemma's favorite kind of beach is an empty one. Social interactions are too much for her to handle. She always says the wrong thing--if she manages to say anything at all. She can't even bring herself to speak to her longtime crush, Beau Booker, without losing sleep over her own awkwardness. During a solo outing to her favorite beach, Gemma realizes--to her horror--that the popular kids from school have shown up to throw a party. Before she can sneak away (and possibly puke behind her car) Gemma is pulled into the action and ends up talking to Beau, who asks her to pretend that they're "close." Gemma is too flustered and flattered to refuse, and mostly, she's wondering why Beau is talking to her at all . . . right up until the moment when he falls off the boat, hits his head, and ends up in a coma. After rescuing Beau from the water, Gemma is mistaken for Beau's girlfriend by his friends and family, including his mysterious older brother, Griff, who has returned to town after a year away. Gemma tries to correct the record, but her social anxiety (and a nosy reporter) gets in the way at every turn. Before she knows it, she's in too deep to backtrack. And when Beau's warm, boisterous family pulls Gemma into their orbit, she realizes how much she wants to keep them in her life. For the first time, Gemma has everything she's ever wanted: friends, big family dinners, and Griff--a boy who she can be herself around. But how can she embrace her new dream life when everything is built on a lie?

This Might Get Awkward

A Novel

Prince and the Apocalypse

Heir, Apparently

Een heerlijke YA-roman voor de feestdagen over liefde en keuzestress.

Hoe dan ook

Eighteen-year-old American, Wren, is stranded in England when news of an impending world-ending comet causes global chaos, but when she meets a runaway prince with an agenda of his own, she realizes he might be her only chance of getting home in time to say goodbye.

The Prince & The Apocalypse

An American teen stranded in London is forced to team up with the British crown prince if she wants to make it back home before the end of the world in this delightfully rompy high-stakes rom-com.

Wren Wheeler has flown five thousand miles across the ocean to discover she’s the worst kind of traveler: the kind who just wants to go home. Her senior-year trip to London was supposed to be life-changing, but by the last day, Wren’s perfectly-planned itinerary is in tatters. There's only one item left to check off: breakfast at The World’s End restaurant. The one thing she can still get right.

The restaurant is closed for renovations—of course—but there's a boy there, too. A very cute boy with a posh British accent who looks remarkably like the errant Prince Theo, on the run from the palace and his controlling mother. When Wren helps him escape a pack of tourists, the Prince scribbles down his number and offers her one favor in return. She doesn’t plan to take him up on it—until she gets to the airport and sees cancelled flights and chaos. A comet is approaching Earth, and the world is ending in eight days. Suddenly, that favor could be her only chance to get home to her family before the end of the world.

Wren strikes a bargain with the runaway prince: if she’ll be his bodyguard from London to his family’s compound in Santorini, he can charter her a private jet home in time to say goodbye. Traveling through Europe by boat, train, and accidentally stolen automobile, Wren finds herself drawn to the dryly sarcastic, surprisingly vulnerable Theo. But the Prince has his own agenda, one that could derail both their plans. When life as they know it will be over in days, is it possible to find a happy ending?

Paige Collins, 17 ans, est paralysée dès qu'elle doit faire un choix. Aussi, quand deux opportunités extraordinaires se présentent à elle quelques jours avant Noël, Paige est incapable de prendre une décision. Une semaine à la montagne avec son meilleur ami (dont elle est secrètement amoureuse), ou un séjour à New York, LA ville de ses rêves ? Alors que l'angoisse de ce choix cornélien la submerge, Paige fait une mauvaise chute dans un supermarché... et son futur se retrouve divisé en deux !

Un hiver à pile ou face

O singură alegere. Două ocazii să te îndrăgostești. O persoană normală ia 35 000 de decizii în fiecare zi. Asta înseamnă cu 34 999 prea multe pentru Paige Collins, care trăiește cu teama epuizantă că face alegerea greșită. Simplul fapt de a se hotărî la ce curs facultativ să meargă o aruncă într-un vârtej de nesfârșite îndoieli. De aceea, când Paige este pusă în fața a două decizii de ultim moment pentru vacanța de Crăciun, e paralizată de neputința de a alege. Să meargă cu Fritz, cel mai bun prieten și marea ei iubire, la cabana din munți a familiei lui? Sau să o însoțească pe mama ei la New York, un oraș plin de posibilități? Dar înainte ca Paige să aleagă o cale sau alta, va trebui să facă față adevărului despre lupta sa cu anxietatea – și să învețe că nu trebuie să fii „perfectă" ca să meriți dragostea adevărată. „Scris în stilul comediilor romantice, romanul Karei McDowell îi va încânta pe cei care adoră poveștile de dragoste și așteaptă cu sufletul la gură finalul fericit." - School Library Journal „O combinație încântătoare de poveste romantică de Crăciun și un portret realist al anxietății." - Kirkus Reviews
