En por siempre, unidos, Taylor Jenkins Reid nos sumerge en la historia de Elsie, una joven veinteañera que conoce el amor de su vida solo para perderlo más rápido de lo que nadie podría imaginar. Reid nos invita a reflexionar sobre el amor, la vida y la muerte, y las distintas formas que tenemos de conseguir un final feliz. Elsie Porter es una joven con una vida sencilla. En la víspera de Año Nuevo decide salir a por una pizza y, mientras espera, conoce a Ben Ross. La química entre ellos es instantánea y en solo dos semanas ya no pueden vivir el uno sin el otro. Nueve días después de la boda, Ben sale con su bicicleta para comprar unos cereales, pero un camión lo atropella en el trayecto. La policía lleva a Elsie al hospital, y allí certifican la muerte de su marido. Aparece su mejor amiga Ana para apoyarla, pero también su suegra Susan, quien nunca ha oído hablar de su nuera y no puede creer que su hijo se haya casado sin decírselo...
A sus 29 años, Hannah Martin todavía no sabe qué quiere hacer con su vida. Ha vivido en varias ciudades y pasado por innumerables trabajos desde que se graduó. Pero, ahora, Hannah ha decidido regresar a Los Ángeles, su ciudad natal, e instalarse en casa de Gabby, su mejor amiga. Una noche deciden salir y Hannah se reencuentra con Ethan, su amor de juventud. ¿Qué pasará si vuelve a casa con Gabby?
¿Y si se queda con Ethan?
En realidades paralelas, Hannah vivirá las consecuencias de una y otra elección. Pero ¿puede una decisión aparentemente trivial cambiar el curso de nuestra vida? Esta obra nos invita a cuestionarnos si los eventos suceden porque estaban escritos, si existen las almas gemelas y, en definitiva, si hay una única manera de encontrar la felicidad. Una interesante reflexión sobre el amor verdadero y el destino.
Partiendo de su amplia experiencia como mediadora, Teresa Arsuaga nos guía a través de un análisis profundo y accesible sobre los modos en que afrontamos los desacuerdos y las estrategias que podemos adoptar para convertirlos en oportunidades de progreso personal y social.
Dividido en tres partes, este libro nos invita primero a reflexionar sobre las actitudes y reacciones más habituales con las que nos enfrentamos a los conflictos, muchas veces marcadas por la delegación de decisiones, la competitividad y la búsqueda de culpables. En la segunda parte, Arsuaga comparte herramientas clave para desarrollar una gestión más eficaz basada en un mayor control sobre la comunicación, las emociones y las percepciones. Finalmente, nos plantea un cambio cultural y de paradigma que nos permita ver el conflicto desde una óptica más colaborativa y menos reactiva.
Una propuesta innovadora y práctica, con ejemplos de la vida real, referencias literarias y ensayísticas que enriquecen la exposición. Esta obra no solo es una guía para quienes buscan mejorar sus relaciones personales y profesionales, sino también una llamada a la reflexión sobre nuestra forma de interactuar con el mundo.
One final swim of the summer. Let’s make it last all night…
Summer, 1994. Trevor can barely wrap his mind around the fact that he and his friends have graduated high school. And yet there’s no rush to get to college. He’s determined to live one night at a time. Riding shotgun from party to party, windows down, music up, his focus is entirely on his crush, the enigmatic girl in the driver’s seat. Will things ever go anywhere with Sarah?
Maybe? Because Sarah has proposed a mission: They’re going to swim all the pools in town. Before long, they’re sneaking into backyards every night, splashing, floating, and loving every minute of it. But it’s still not enough for Trevor. He yearns for Sarah, despite her college boyfriend, despite her “not yet”s, despite the way she keeps pulling away the moment it starts to feel truly magical.
Things finally change when they learn about a natural pool hidden deep in the woods. It seems like just another spot to check off their summer bucket list. But once they get there, they realize that this place has a curious hold on them, and something very strange is happening…
