INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

La vida de Julieta cambia rotundamente cuando en su camino se cruza Nicole. Niki se muestra segura, carismática, audaz, y, después de deslumbrar a Juli en el primer encuentro, se convierte en su compañera de clase y en su nueva mejor amiga. Así comienza un vínculo que se tornará intenso, y que irá asfixiando a Juli, desdibujándola, convirtiéndola en un apéndice. Y aunque las mejores amigas juran contárselo todo, Julieta sospecha que Niki le oculta algo muy grave. Ella necesita recuperarse, volver a rearmar su existencia, pero también descubrir qué es lo que está escondiendo Nicole. «Nuestra amistad es un cúmulo de sensaciones en blanco y negro. Es un contraste permanente entre la alegría y la pena. Entre la contención y el abandono. Entre la felicidad extrema de sentirme única y valiosa cuando me relata un secreto, y la angustia lacerante cuando Niki se enoja y se aleja».

After their high school graduation, former best friends Cass and Syd are gearing up for their futures. Cass has planned to go to college to become an engineer, while Syd—despite the fact that her family thinks she’s messed up her whole life—has lined up a sound internship at a historic music venue.   But Cass is keeping secrets. Though his dad has forbidden it, Cass has been playing music, taking trips to San Francisco BART stations to play and make money. Somehow, it’s become a way for Cass to connect with his mother—who was also a musician—who died in a drunk driving accident on the way back from a gig when he was one.   But after Syd catches Cass playing at the BART station, and Cass finds out his mom’s old band the Darlas is going on a reunion tour, everything changes. On impulse, Cass invites Syd to the first Darlas show, and without telling anyone, they make a break for it. Turning one show into a cross-country journey, the two former friends throw away all their plans for the future and embark on a life-altering road trip following the tour, keeping it a secret from their friends and family.   Along the way, they’ll untangle the messy threads of how they became “ex”-best friends, experience the power of nature and music, and decide what they really want their lives to be. Maybe, through it all, Cass and Syd can find a way back to each other, too.

Princesses Daphne, Beatriz, and Sophronia have trained their entire lives for one purpose: to bring down nations. Their mother, Empress Margaraux of Bessemia, is determined to rule the continent of Vesteria, and her daughters are her weapons. Promised for marriage since birth, they are her ticket across enemy lines. And also her decoys. Still, not even Empress Margaraux can control the stars. Sent to their new kingdoms, orders in hand, the princesses have found their own paths, changing the course of their mother’s plans entirely—and tragically. Sophronia chose love, and for that, she lost her life.  Daphne and Beatriz can hardly believe their sister is dead, but both are determined to avenge her. And now, separated by a continent—and their mother’s lies—they see more clearly with every passing day that they might not be working toward the same end. The stars whisper of death, but Daphne and Beatriz are just beginning to understand the true power coursing through their veins. And their mother will do anything to keep them under her thumb—even if it means killing them all.
