The perfect after-school job turns deadly for teens working as simulated patients at the local med school. Everyone has something to hide and no one is safe in this contemporary YA thriller that exposes the dark reality of #MeToo in the world of medicine, for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson. It seemed like a cool after school program -- being a simulated patient for med school students to practice on. But now vivacious, charismatic Viv lies in a very real coma. Cellphone footage just leads to more questions. What REALLY happened? Other kids suspect it was not an intentional overdose -- but each has a reason why they can't tell the truth. Through intertwining and conflicting narratives, a twisted story unfolds of trust betrayed as we sift through the seemingly innocent events leading up to the tragic night. And perhaps simulated patients aren't the only people pretending to be something they're not . . .

Tell Me When You Feel Something

Inspired by the real psychology study popularized by the New York Times and its "Modern Love" column, this contemporary YA is perfect for fans of Eleanor and Park. Two random strangers. Two secrets. Thirty-six questions to make them fall in love. Hildy and Paul each have their own reasons for joining the university psychology study that asks the simple question: Can love be engineered? The study consists of 36 questions, ranging from "What is your most terrible memory?" to "When did you last sing to yourself?" By the time Hildy and Paul have made it to the end of the questionnaire, they've laughed and cried and lied and thrown things and run away and come back and driven each other almost crazy. They've also each discovered the painful secret the other was trying so hard to hide. But have they fallen in love? Told in the language of modern romance--texting, Q&A, IM--and punctuated by Paul's sketches, this clever high-concept YA is full of humor and heart. As soon as you've finished reading, you'll be searching for your own stranger to ask the 36 questions. Maybe you'll even fall in love.

Él participa por dinero y ella, por convicción, para demostrar que eso es una gran tontería. Pronto las tensiones, los imprevistos y los malentendidos tejen una red de consecuencias impredecibles..."--Back cover.

Kann aus einem Experiment die große Liebe werden? Hildy und Paul, beide 18, nehmen an einem psychologischen Experiment teil: die wissensdurstige, aber etwas chaotische Hildy aus Interesse und tausend anderen Gründen. Paul aus einem einzigen: weil er die Teilnahme bezahlt bekommt. Und so sitzen sich die beiden in einem kargen Universitäts-Raum gegenüber und stellen sich Fragen, die zwischen ihnen Liebe erzeugen sollen. Fragen, die zunächst scheinbar banal sind (»Wie sähe ein perfekter Tag für dich aus?«) und dann immer persönlicher werden (»Was ist deine schlimmste Erinnerung?«). Fragen, die Hildy im wahren Leben nie jemandem wie Paul stellen würde, dem gut aussehenden Typ, der sich für nichts und niemanden interessiert, am wenigsten für Hildy. Oder?
