Sarah Dessen Knihy

Macy mala pred sebou celé leto, no takmer všetok čas mala stráviť bez svojho priateľa Jamesona nudnou prácou v knižnici a učením sa na skúšky. Ale niekedy sa udejú aj neočakávané veci – ako napríklad stretnutie s Wesom a jeho zábavou partiou priateľov. Alebo projekt jej sestry na renováciu zanedbaného plážového domu, ktorý v nej a v jej matke prebúdza hlboko pochované spomienky na bolestnú stratu Macinho otca. No občas sa to všetko dokáže aj poriadne zamotať. Keď Macy stretne niekoho ako je Wes – chalana s minulosťou a udivujúcim umeleckým talentom – jej život už nie je ako predtým. A tak začína uvažovať o tom, či je naozaj lepšie ostať uzavretá, tak ako si až doposiaľ myslela, alebo sa odhodlať vyjsť zo svojej ulity...

Může se člověk změnit? Nebo je to nesmysl? Třeba mu pomůže honba za vznešeným cílem! Už je to dlouho, co Auden naposledy v noci spala. Před rozvodem svých rodičů – nebo spíš předtím, než se začali hádat. Teď má příležitost strávit bezstarostné léto se svým tátou a jeho novou rodinou v okouzlujícím přímořském městečku. Tam taky nastoupí na brigádu v obchodě s oblečením, kde se seznámí s holčičím světem, který jí tak dlouho unikal. A pak potká Eliho, záhadného samotáře, ale hlavně dalšího nespavce. Společně se noc co noc vydávají na honbu za dobrodružstvím.

Ještě vloni byla Annabel holka, co má úplně všechno – nebo aspoň tuhle roli hrála v televizní reklamě na Obchodní dům Kopf. Letos nemá nic. Nejlepší kamarádka Sophie ji opustila, rodinné štěstí ničí anorexie starší sestry a ve školní jídelně si není ke komu přisednout. Dokud nepotká Owena Armstronga. Vysoký, výrazný a hudbou posedlý Owen je polepšený mizera odhodlaný říkat lidem pravdu. Možná by Owen mohl Annabel pomoct vyrovnat se s tím, co se jí přihodilo tu noc, kdy se Sophií přestaly být kamarádky.

„O lásce už jsem neměla žádné iluze. Přicházela a odcházela, ranila, a někdy taky ne. Lidé nemají být spolu navěky, bez ohledu na to, co se zpívá v písních.“ Remy nevěří v lásku, a ostatně proč by měla? Její matka se popáté vdává a její otec, kterého nikdy nepoznala, ji zanechal jen jednu ubohou píseň – Ukolébavku, kterou si lidé tak často a tak absurdně nechávají hrát na svatbách. Remy ale věří na zábavu, a tak o kluky nemá nouzi, s kamarádkami chodí pařit a vůbec si užívá života. Přesně podle plánu, s cynismem, nadhledem a jistou dávkou blahosklonnosti nad city ostatních. Pak se ale v jejím životě objeví Dexter a snaží se jí převrátit život vzhůru nohama. Otázkou je, zda o to ledová královna Remy vůbec stojí…
