Cleopatra & Frankenstein
Mellors Coco · 2023
For readers of Modern Lovers and Conversations with Friends, an addictive, humorous, and poignant debut novel about the shock waves caused by one couple's impulsive marriage.‘A tender, devastating and funny exploration of love and friendship and the yearning for self-evisceration. Coco Mellors is an elegant and exciting new voice’ PANDORA SYKES, author of How Do We Know We’re Doing It RightNew York is slipping from Cleo’s grasp. Sure, she’s at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn’t even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art—and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now. Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that’s Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year’s Eve party changes everything, for better or worse. Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.
Magnolia Parks
Jessa Hastings · 2021
She is a beautiful, affluent, self-involved and mildly neurotic London socialite. He is Britain's most photographed bad-boy lothario who broke her heart. But Magnolia Parks and BJ Ballentine are meant to be, and everyone knows it. They're in the stars... just suspended in a strange kind of love that looks like hurting each other a lot of the time: She dates other people to keep him at bay; he sleeps with other girls to get back at her for it. But at the end of their every sad endeavour to get over one another, it's still each other they crawl back to. But their dysfunction is catching up with them, pulling at their seams and fraying the world they've built; a world where neither has to ever let the other go completely. As the cracks start to show and secrets begin to surface, Magnolia and BJ are finally forced to face the formidable question they've been avoiding all their lives: how many loves do you really get in a lifetime?

Todo lo que sé sobre el amor
Dolly Alderton · 2021
Una historia autobiográfica de la periodista Dolly Alderton que ya ha cautivado a más de un millón de lectores.<br/>El gran fenómeno boca oreja de los últimos años.<br/>Un millón de ejemplares vendidos.<br/>El libro narra en primera persona el paso de la adolescencia a la vida adulta de una joven como cualquier otra que deambula buscándose a sí misma, fracasando en lo personal y profesional, sobreviviendo con la cuenta en números rojos y dándose de bruces con el desamor en cada esquina. Y, a pesar de ello, disfrutando y exprimiendo cada momento importante de la vida como solo un veinteañero sabe hacer.<br/>Tan salvajemente divertido y conmovedor como la vida de cualquier veinteañero que crece navegando entre desengaños amorosos y relaciones desastrosas.<br/><br/>«Casi todo lo que sé sobre el amor lo he aprendido charlando con mis amigas de toda la vida. He aprendido que el amor es júbilo desenfrenado, bailar borracha sobre el fango de un festival de música, los cruces de miradas en un autobús nocturno, los polvos de una noche. Pero también he aprendido que el amor no son las relaciones tediosas, ni las horas de obsesivo seguimiento en Instagram al chico que te gusta, ni los orgasmos fingidos.»<br/><br/>Los lectores han dicho…<br/>«Háganse un favor, y lean este libro. Les prometo que no se van a arrepentir».<br/>«El libro perfecto para regalar a tu mejor amiga y recordar lo mucho que merece la pena vuestro amor».<br/>«Todo el mundo debería leerlo. Nos recuerda que lo más importante es el amor propio».<br/>«Sencillo, directo, pero con una declaración de sentimientos y emociones que desmitifican lo que creíamos que era querer a alguien sin quererte a ti misma».<br/>«Es un libro sensible y humano, que recomiendo con los ojos cerrados, porque te deja enseñanza de vida».<br/>«Tod@s hemos sido Dolly Alderton en algún momento de nuestras vidas... O lo seguimos siendo».<br/>«Todo lo que sé sobre el amor, de Dolly Alderton, o cómo resumir (brillantemente) la vida sentimental de una treintañera actual». Vogue
Malibú renace
Taylor Jenkins Reid · 2021
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Read with Jenna Book Club Pick as Featured on Today • From the author of Carrie Soto Is Back, Daisy Jones & The Six, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo . . . “Irresistible . . . High drama at the beach, starring four sexy, surfing siblings and their deadbeat, famous-crooner dad.”—People ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Time, Marie Claire, PopSugar, Parade, Teen Vogue, Self, She Reads Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama that ensues will change their lives forever. Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva. The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth. Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone. By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface. Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them . . . and what they will leave behind.
