New Releases by Emily Henry

Augustus Everett je uznávaný autor klasických románů. January Andrewsová píše romantické příběhy. Zatímco její příběhy končí happy endem, jeho knihy vrcholí tragickou smrtí nebo deziluzí všech hrdinů. Pro January byla rodina vždycky oporou, Gusovo dětství nebylo zrovna procházkou růžovým sadem. Jsou jako noc a den (nebo jako leden a srpen). Jenže jsou skutečně všechny věci v životě tak, jak se jeví na první pohled? January přijíždí do nově zděděného domu na břehu Michiganského jezera v ne úplně dobrém rozpoložení: tíží ji otcova smrt a tajemství, které se po jeho smrti dozvěděla. Navíc se jejím novým sousedem stane právě Gus, bývalý spolužák z vysoké školy, s nímž celé roky studia soupeřila. Rychle ale zjistí, že toho mají společného mnohem víc než jen zážitek z dávného kolejního večírku. Například to, že oba shodně trpí neschopností dopsat svou knihu. A tak spolu tihle dva jednoho pošmourného večera trochu nečekaně uzavřou sázku, která je má vyvést z autorské krize: Augustus stráví celé léto psaním o něčem se šťastným koncem a January se pokusí napsat velký americký román. Ona ho pro inspiraci bere na výlety do míst, k nimž patří pořádná dávka romantiky, zatímco on s ní objíždí přeživší pamětníky sebevražedného kultu (co jiného by se od něj taky dalo čekat?). Plán je, že oba svou knihu dokončí a nikdo se do nikoho nezamiluje. Vážně.

O scriitoare de romane de dragoste care nu mai crede în iubire și un scriitor de romane serioase care și-a pierdut inspirația își propun unul altuia o provocare pentru o vară, care le poate schimba părerea despre ce înseamnă un final fericit. Augustus Everett este un scriitor foarte apreciat de ficțiune literară. January Andrews scrie bestselleruri de dragoste. Atunci când ea gândește un final fericit, el își omoară toți protagoniștii. Sunt complet opuși. De fapt, singurul lucru pe care îl au în comun este faptul că, timp de trei luni, locuiesc în case vecine, n-au nici un ban și inspirația i-a părăsit. Asta până când, într-o seară pe care nu și-o amintesc prea bine, din una în alta ajung să facă o înțelegere: Augustus își va petrece vara scriind o poveste cu final fericit, iar January va scrie următorul mare roman american. Ea îl va duce în excursii care par desprinse dintr-o comedie romantică, iar el o va duce să vadă rămășițele unui cult al morții (evident!). Fiecare dintre ei își va termina romanul și nimeni nu se va îndrăgosti. Cititorii se vor îndrăgosti cu siguranță de această poveste romantică duioasă și aparte. Publishers Weekly O viziune plină de tandrețe asupra ideii de a doua șansă, în viață și în dragoste. Kirkus Reviews

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story comes a sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations. Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love. Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven''t spoken since. Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FUNNY STORY! A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. As featured in The New York Times Book Review ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Oprah Magazine ∙ Betches ∙ Shondaland ∙ Good Morning America ∙ The New York Post ∙ Good Housekeeping ∙ CNN ∙ and more! Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they''re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer''s block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation, comes a gripping story about a group of friends in a small town who find themselves dealing with unexpected powers after a cosmic event. Almost everyone in the small town of Splendor, Ohio, was affected when the local steel mill exploded. If you weren''t a casualty of the accident yourself, chances are a loved one was. That''s the case for seventeen-year-old Franny, who, five years after the explosion, still has to stand by and do nothing as her brother lies in a coma. In the wake of the tragedy, Franny found solace in a group of friends whose experiences mirrored her own. The group calls themselves The Ordinary, and they spend their free time investigating local ghost stories and legends, filming their exploits for their small following of YouTube fans. It''s silly, it''s fun, and it keeps them from dwelling on the sadness that surrounds them. Until one evening, when the strange and dangerous thing they film isn''t fiction--it''s a bright light, something massive hurtling toward them from the sky. And when it crashes and the teens go to investigate...everything changes.

Thelma and Louise gets remade in this powerful, darkly funny novel from acclaimed authors Brittany Cavallaro and Emily Henry. When Winona and Lucille have had enough of the controlling men in their lives, they take their rage on the road to make a new life for themselves. Winona has been starving for life in the seemingly perfect home that she shares with her seemingly perfect father, celebrity weatherman Stormy Olsen. No one knows that he locks the pantry door to control her eating and leaves bruises where no one can see them. Lucille has been suffocating beneath the needs of her mother and her drug-dealing brother, wondering if there’s more out there for her than disappearing waitress tips and a lifetime of barely getting by. One harrowing night, Winona and Lucille realize they can’t wait until graduation to start their new lives. They need out. Now. One hour later, they’re armed with a plan that will take them from their small Michigan town to Chicago. All they need is three grand, fast. And really, a stolen convertible can’t hurt. Chased by the oppression, toxicity, and powerlessness that has held them down, Winona and Lucille must reclaim their strength if they are going to make their daring escape—and get away with it. Brittany Cavallaro is the author of the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series. Emily Henry is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read. Together, they have created "a razor-sharp union of sidesplitting dark comedy, fierce feminism, and poignant friendship, paced like an Alfa-Romeo at full throttle, and written in gleaming, perfect, gut-punch sentences.” (Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King)

"A beautiful, lyrical, and achingly brilliant story about love, grief, and family. Henry''s writing will leave you breathless." —BuzzFeed Romeo and Juliet meets One Hundred Years of Solitude in Emily Henry''s brilliant follow-up to The Love That Split the World, about the daughter and son of two long-feuding families who fall in love while trying to uncover the truth about the strange magic and harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations. In their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, the O''Donnells and the Angerts have mythic legacies. But for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them, except to say it began with a cherry tree. Eighteen-year-old Jack “June” O’Donnell doesn''t need a better reason than that. She''s an O''Donnell to her core, just like her late father was, and O''Donnells stay away from Angerts. Period. But when Saul Angert, the son of June''s father''s mortal enemy, returns to town after three mysterious years away, June can''t seem to avoid him. Soon the unthinkable happens: She finds she doesn''t exactly hate the gruff, sarcastic boy she was born to loathe. Saul’s arrival sparks a chain reaction, and as the magic, ghosts, and coywolves of Five Fingers conspire to reveal the truth about the dark moment that started the feud, June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored. And she must decide whether it''s finally time for her—and all of the O''Donnells before her—to let go.
