Teenaged Luna, who lives on Manhattan's Upper West Side with her movie director father, tries to piece together the death of her mother with the seven unheard messages left on her forgotten cell phone.

You Have Seven Messages

A dark comedy about putting yourself in unexpected places, reaching for your dreams, and believing in second chances. Thirtysomething Page was content with her life in New York City--until it went to the dogs. Unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend of four years and fired from her art gallery job in the same week, she flees to Washington, DC, and moves in with her big brother. She hopes the new setting and familial comfort will help her finally find her bearings. What Page finds instead is an unlikely refuge: a park for the neighborhood's poshest pooches, and a quirky pack of companionable dog-run regulars who become fast friends. Both four-legged and two-, these new allies offer Page a world of possibilities. The woman who hit rock bottom now has dreams: of having her own business, getting her own place, and even wilder ones about the ruggedly handsome owner of a vineyard and two equally fetching Bernese mountain dogs. Unleashed from all that once held her back, Page finds everything might be falling into place. But just when she thinks her life is headed in the right direction, the road takes a sharp turn to show her just how unpredictable second chances can be. Will Page get her happily ever after? Is there even such a thing? Witty, smartly funny, and modernly romantic, Happily Whatever After shows us all that sometimes imperfect can still be good enough.

Then Tegan meets a mysterious friend of one of the dead, and they begin a desperate attempt to save these people from their fate. Tegan changes lives that summer, just like her father used to. But can she change her own?

One Stupid Thing

Voilà un an que la mère de Luna, 15 ans, est morte, renversée par une voiture. Depuis, la jeune fille, son père et son petit frère essaient tant bien que mal de faire leur deuil. Quand Luna trouve enfin la force de pénétrer dans l’ancien studio de sa mère, elle est stupéfaite d’y trouver son téléphone portable, où sont restés stockés sept messages. Poussée par la curiosité, elle les écoute et aussitôt, les questions l'assaillent. Sa mère qu'elle admirait tant lui cachait-elle des choses ? Était-elle si parfaite ? Sa famille modèle et admirée de tous n'était-elle, finalement, qu'un tissu d'apparences ? Avec l’aide d’Oliver, son voisin qu’elle aime en secret, Luna assemble les pièces du puzzle pour reconstituer les événements qui ont précédé la mort de sa mère. Des vérités parfois douloureuses lui apparaissent alors, et ses illusions de petite fille volent en éclats. La voici bientôt prête, avec une énergie toute neuve, à entrer dans le monde des adultes.
