      Milovali se v tisíci životech. A v každém z nich jeden druhého zabili. Evelyn si pamatuje všechny své minulé životy. V každém z nich ji před jejími osmnáctými narozeninami zavraždil Arden, nadpřirozená bytost, jejíž duše je spjata s tou její. Problém je v tom, že současný život se jí docela zamlouvá a její malá sestra ji potřebuje na transplantaci kostní dřeně. Pokud ji chce Evelyn zachránit, bude muset: 1. Najít prastarého ďábla, který ji pronásleduje, dřív, než ji najde on. 2. Zjistit, proč ji pronásleduje, a konečně zlomit své prokletí. 3. Pokusit se nezamilovat.

    • Romantická komedie o dívce, která se snaží přijít na to, kým je. Caro je neuvěřitelně chytrá. Miluje vědu, v kapse má stipendium na vysokou a splňuje téměř všechny představy rodičů o tom, jak má vypadat ideální dítě. Čeho se jí však nedostává, je sebevědomí. Neustále o sobě pochybuje, takže když se doslechne o tom, že vědci testují pilulky, po jejichž užití se člověk stane pro své okolí neodolatelně přitažlivým, rozhodne se je vyzkoušet. To, co následuje, její nejistoty ale nerozptýlí. Má o ni její dlouholetá tajná láska zájem ze své vlastní vůle, nebo za to mohou tabletky? Jsou city k její nejlepší kamarádce vedlejším účinkem? A proč o ni projevuje nepatřičný zájem i její pes?

It's been two months since a leaked explicit photo got Izzy involved in a political sex scandal - and the aftershock is far from over.

This time she wants to change the state law on revenge porn. Izzy and her best friend Ajita are as hilarious as ever, using comedy to fight back against whatever the world throws at them, but Izzy is still reeling from her slut-shaming ordeal, feeling angry beyond belief and wondering - can they really make a change? For readers of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Doing It by Hannah Witton, Love Simon and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca C avallo.
