NOVEDADES

Un café, una silla y una regla que seguir: unos pasos que pueden conducir a la felicidad. Existe un café en Tokio donde puedes elegir revivir un momento preciso de tu existencia. Ese gesto, esa palabra, esa carta, ese beso, eso que no dijimos. Ese es el momento. Hace falta valor para afrontarlo de nuevo, pero el resultado a veces es inesperado. Me pregunto si el pequeño Yuki, que no puede superar el divorcio de sus padres, estará preparado. Y quién sabe si Megumi, que debe decidir qué nombre ponerle a su hija sin tener a su lado al hombre que ama; o sus amigas Ayame y Tsumugi, que han permitido que el orgullo se interponga entre ellas. Hilos y destinos que podrían haber permanecido rotos, pero que ahora tienen una segunda oportunidad.

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?

Katherine Parker doesn’t just dream of rowing in the Olympics. She has a carefully crafted plan. With a strict training schedule, a meticulous diet, and no one else in her boat to slow her down, she’s as good as gold. Then her boyfriend breaks up with her at the starting line of a big race and Kath comes in dead last. She’s swiftly kicked off the team and out of the Olympic Training Center—the only place she’s ever felt at home. With one shot to win back her spot, Kath returns to her hometown to train with a new coach. The upside? Coach Adrian is hot. The downside? Instead of letting Kath follow her own training regimen, Adrian pushes her outside her comfort zone, urging her to try new things and let go of control. With her Olympic dreams on the line, Kath will have to choose: stick to her perfect plan, or find out if the key to winning—and happiness—is to embrace the part of rowing that makes it fun, one sweaty, sexy training session at a time.
