TODO LO QUE NUNCA FUIMOS
Alice Kellen · 2020
Devastating grief has a way of overshadowing love…<br/><br/>Nineteen-year-old Leah Jones is struggling to cope after she and her twenty-nine-year-old brother Oliver lose their parents in a horrific car accident. Leah was in the car and is plagued by nightmares, intense grief and numbness—her life as she knew it is over.<br/>Oliver hates leaving Leah at a time like this, but the only way he can support them both is if he transfers to Sydney for work. He implores his best friend Axel Nguyen to let her move in with him in their hometown of Byron Bay and watch over her while he's away.<br/>Oliver, Axel and Leah have known each other since childhood. For Axel, seeing Leah so broken and devastated is a punch to the gut. He promises himself he'll do anything to bring the light back into her eyes, no matter what it takes. He would be shocked to learn that Leah is in love with him.<br/>Little by little, as he does everything in his power to bring Leah back to the sparkling, energetic beauty he's known, he falls in love with her, too, even though he feels that he's betraying Oliver's trust. Before he can tell him, Oliver finds out about Leah and Axel's relationship and is outraged. He insists Axel prove his love by letting her go so she can fully experience life at college. Axel agrees to break both of their hearts and stoically breaks up with Leah so she can start a new life, not realizing the repercussions that will affect them both for years to come.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Taylor Jenkins Reid · 2023
Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?<br/>Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.<br/>Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.<br/>This is a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means--and what it costs--to face the truth.
Un cuento perfecto
Elísabet Benavent · 2021
Más de 4.500.000 de ejemplares vendidos.<br/>«Elísabet Benavent es la voz masiva de una generación».<br/>Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, El País<br/>¿Qué sucede cuando descubres que el final de tu cuento no es como soñabas?<br/>- Érase una vez una mujer que lo tenía todo y un chico que no tenía nada.<br/>- Érase una vez una historia de amor entre el éxito y la duda.<br/>- Érase una vez un cuento perfecto.<br/>Elísabet Benavent, @BetaCoqueta, vuelve al panorama de la literatura con una novela que explora el significado del éxito en la vida y reflexiona con ironía y humor acerca de las imposiciones sociales, la presión del grupo y la autoexigencia que, aunque cueste creerlo, no es sinónimo de felicidad.<br/>Los lectores han dicho...<br/>«¡Un libro magnífico. Adictivo! Una historia real, bien escrita. He reído, llorado, suspirado. Elísabet, he leído todos tus libros y, aunque parezca imposible, sigues sorprendiéndome».<br/>«Una historia madura que nos hace reflexionar. No es una novela al uso centrada en el amor de pareja, es eso y mucho más».<br/>«Leer a Elísabet es entrar en la historia, sentirla y vivirla. Su pluma te atrapa».<br/>«Te puede gustar un libro más que otro. Amar a un personaje y odiar a otros... pero siempre tienen algo que te marca y que se queda incrustado en el corazón. ¡Gracias, BetaCoqueta!».
