The more time they spend together, the more their conversations start to get real, and Rachel finds herself falling for Wyatt. She thinks he might even feel the same way. The only problem? Wyatt is all about roots and permanence, while Rachel is the very definition of flighty. But this summer, she just might be tempted to stay ...

Ha tetszett az A Milllion Kisses in Your Lifetime! Weston Fontaine a legszexibb végzős a Lancaster középiskolában. És ezt tudja is. Elképesztően jóképű. Magabiztos. Okos. Túlságosan is. Mindenki imádja. Bárkit megkaphat a suliban. Egyet kivéve. Engem. Engem is Lancasternek hívnak, ami azt jelenti, hogy gyakorlatilag érinthetetlen vagyok. Vagy legalábbis ezt hittem. A családomé ez az isten háta mögötti magániskola, ahova nem akarok járni. De a szüleim szerint el kell viselnem a Lancaster középiskolában az utolsó évet, mielőtt visszatérhetek ahhoz, amit a legjobban szeretek: a baletthez. West nem könnyíti meg itt az életemet. Arrogáns. Nyers. Kiállhatatlan. A lehető legszörnyűbb módon teszi pokollá az életemet, addig a pontig, amíg már képtelen vagyok elviselni. Mégis ő az egyetlen fiú, akinek valaha is megengedtem, hogy megérintsen... A helyzet az, hogy West és én...szóval nekünk van egy közös titkunk. Párizsban egy fülledt nyári éjszakán egymásba gabalyodtunk. És én sosem szoktam ilyesmit csinálni. Soha. Olyasmit mutattam meg magamból, amit még soha senkinek. A legsebezhetőbb formámat látta. Elmeséltem neki a titkaimat. Ő is elmondta a magáét. West szexi volt Párizsban. Vigyázott rám. Sőt mondhatni...édes volt. Most pedig ő a negatív hős a darabomban, mégsem tehetek mást, mint kergetni azt az érzést, amit csak West adhat meg nekem. Az egymás iránti gyűlöletünk ellenére is valamiért fényesebben lángolunk, amikor együtt vagyunk. Akkor hát mi történik, ha menthetetlenül beleszeretünk az egyetlen emberbe, aki nem tesz jót nekünk? Ha olyanok vagytok, mint én, így is fogjátok magatokat, és belezúgtok.

A compassionate, sweeping history of the transformation in American attitudes toward animals by the best-selling authors of Rabid Over just a few decades at the end of the nineteenth century, the United States underwent a moral revolution on behalf of animals. Before the Civil War, animals'' suffering had rarely been discussed; horses pulling carriages and carts were routinely beaten in public view, and dogs were pitted against each other for entertainment and gambling. But in 1866, a group of activists began a dramatic campaign to change the nation’s laws and norms, and by the century’s end, most Americans had adopted a very different way of thinking and feeling about the animals in their midst. In Our Kindred Creatures, Bill Wasik, editorial director of The New York Times Magazine, and veterinarian Monica Murphy offer a fascinating history of this crusade and the battles it sparked in American life. On the side of reform were such leaders as George Angell, the inspirational head of Massachusetts’s animal-welfare society and the American publisher of the novel Black Beauty; Henry Bergh, founder of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; Caroline White of Philadelphia, who fought against medical experiments that used live animals; and many more, including some of the nation’s earliest veterinarians and conservationists. Caught in the movement’s crosshairs were transformational figures in their own right: animal impresarios such as P. T. Barnum, industrial meat barons such as Philip D. Armour, and the nation’s rising medical establishment, all of whom put forward their own, very different sets of modern norms about how animals should be treated. In recounting this remarkable period of moral transition—which, by the turn of the twentieth century, would give birth to the attitudes we hold toward animals today—Wasik and Murphy challenge us to consider the obligations we still have to all our kindred creatures.
