New Releases by Sarah Dessen

A #1 New York Times bestseller! From acclaimed and #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Dessen comes a “sweet, nuanced, and reflective coming-of-age love story” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about an unassuming girl who learns to stand on her own while falling in love during a life-changing summer. Finley has always felt most comfortable in someone else’s shadow. Fortunately, she’s got Colin, her magnetic boyfriend, who sweeps her along for activities, friendships, and future plans. Then she goes on a last-minute trip with her distant mom to a family vacation house that Finley didn’t know existed and is now about to be sold. Her mom was estranged from her own parents and siblings since leaving home for college, and it’s a novelty for Finley to see her aunts and cousins. There’s also the handful of teens who work at the Egg, her aunt’s diner, and make up a found family of their own—including undeniably handsome guitarist Ben. Then her relationship with Colin goes into freefall, and Finley’s roadmap for life after high school is gone. She has no choice but to live, for the first time, without plans. The longer Finley stays, the closer she gets to the truth about why her mother stayed away—and why she’s brought Finley here now. And the closer she grows to new friends at the Egg, the more she starts to fall for charmingly awkward, soulful Ben and to realize how much of herself she’s been missing. By the end of the summer, nothing will be the same—for this community or for Finley herself.

Auden nu mai doarme de mult nopțile. De când au divorțat părinții ei – sau de când au început să se certe, nici ea nu-și mai aduce aminte. Acum are ocazia să petreacă o vară lipsită de griji alături de tatăl ei și noua lui familie, în frumosul orășel de la malul mării unde locuiesc aceștia. O slujbă la un magazin de modă o introduce pe Auden în lumea fetelor: discuții, prietenii, iubiri neîmpărtășite. Nu prea a avut parte de astfel de relații, pentru că a fost prea ocupată să fie fiica perfectă în ochii mamei ei, care nu accepta nimic mai puțin decât perfecțiunea. Dar fata îl întâlnește pe Eli, un băiat singuratic, misterios, insomniac la fel ca ea, care îi devine ghid în oraș, noapte de noapte. Cei doi pornesc la drum împreună, Auden ca să se bucure de adolescența care i-a fost refuzată, iar Eli ca să poată depăși vina pe care o simte pentru moartea unui prieten. „Acest roman surprinde esența verii, ca un prag de aur între regretele trecute și viitorul necunoscut.“ The Washington Post „Cititorilor le va face plăcere să parcurgă observațiile pline de substanță ale lui Auden – acest roman este una dintre realizările lui Dessen.“ Publishers Weekly

Când vine vorba despre relații, cu Remy nu te pui. În fond, a învățat tot ce avea de învățat de la mama ei, care este pe cale să se mărite a cincea oară. Dar Dexter are ceva care o face pe Remy să-și încalce propriile reguli. Cu toate că nu pare a fi băiatul potrivit pentru ea, eroina noastră nu poate să-l uite. Ar fi oare posibil ca Remy să înțeleagă, în sfârșit, despre ce e vorba în cântecele de dragoste? „O poveste cu final fericit, din care învățăm că, atunci când iubești, trebuie să te încrezi în celălalt și să știi că nu există garanții de la început.“ School Library Journal „Cu cât Dessen scrie mai multe romane, cu atât mai profunde devin acestea. Cartea de față pare o poveste de dragoste ușurică, de vară, dar ea documentează cu acuratețe și perspicacitate viața adolescenților.“ Voice of Youth Advocates „Un cântec pentru tine este o poveste de dragoste modernă, narată de o adolescentă cinică, în care sunt împletite cu măiestrie momentele amuzante și cele dramatice, traume ale adolescenților de peste tot.“ Publishers Weekly

Louna, fiica celebrei organizatoare de nunţi Natalie Barrett, a fost martoră la tot felul de evenimente: nuntă pe plajă, în clădiri monument istoric, în hoteluri elegante sau în cluburi. Poate de aceea este atât de cinică în privinţa finalurilor fericite, mai ales fiindcă prima ei dragoste s-a sfârşit tragic. Atunci cînd Louna îl întâlneşte pe Ambrose, care schimbă iubitele ca pe şosete şi nu pare să aibă nici o grijă pe lume, nu-l prea bagă în seamă. Dar băiatul nu se lasă descurajat, mai ales acum că a întâlnit-o pe singura fată a cărei părere contează cu adevărat. Fanii scriitoarei Sarah Dessen se vor bucura să citească această poveste de dragoste tandră, spusă cu umor şi duioşie, al cărei final reprezintă mult mai mult decât un happy end. „Oare mai există cineva care să scrie atât de convingător despre problemele tinerilor ca Dessen? Sinceră să fiu, mă îndoiesc.“ Jodi Picoult „Sarah Dessen este un fel de star rock printre scriitorii de ficțiune pentru tineri. Romanele ei, care despre maturizare și primii pași în viața de adult, cercetează cu căldură, umor și speranță experiențele prin care trec adolescenții.“ Los Angeles Times

Great friends, a loving boyfriend, and a strong sense of personal identity. But unexpected things can happen. People come and go. The appearance of a new boy in your life can turn your world upside down. It might make you throw all caution to the wind - or bring you back closer to earth. What if he is hiding secrets of his own? Is it better to be safe than sorry? From acclaimed bestselling author Sarah Dessen, here are two books about exploring your heart, giving free reign to your emotions, and rising above the expectations of others.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Dessen comes a big-hearted, sweeping novel about a girl who reconnects with a part of her family she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl—and falls in love, all over the course of a magical summer. Emma Saylor doesn’t remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges. Now it’s just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable…until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother’s family that she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl. When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is also divided into two people. To her father, she is Emma. But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her. Then there’s Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her family’s history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. It’s hard not to get caught up in the magic of North Lake—and Saylor finds herself falling under Roo’s spell as well. For Saylor, it’s like a whole new world is opening up to her. But when it’s time to go back home, which side of her—Emma or Saylor—will win out?

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From beloved author of The Truth About Forever comes a poignant story of a heartbroken teen who is thrust back into the world of wedding planning. “Sarah Dessen is the queen of heartfelt YA.”—Cosmopolitan “Romance, humor, kindhearted characters, and a touch of painful reality make this another sure bet for Dessen fans.”—Kirkus Review Louna has seen every sort of wedding, from informal on the beach to elegant in historic mansions, all because of her mother’s wedding planning business. And working these events every summer means she has also seen every kind of outcome to that “perfect” day. Maybe that’s why she’s deeply cynical about happily-ever-after endings. Or is there something else that has caused her to lock away her heart? When handsome, happy-go-lucky serial dater Ambrose enters her life, Louna doesn’t want to take him seriously. He is sure he can change; Louna is betting that he can’t. But Ambrose knows that Louna is the girl he’s always been waiting for—the question is, can he convince her to feel the same?
