A windswept private island off the coast of Massachusetts.
A hungry ocean, churning with secrets and sorrow.
A fiery, addicted heiress. An irresistible, unpredictable boy.
A summer of unforgivable betrayal and terrible mistakes.
Welcome back to the Sinclair family.
They were always liars.
Grace, Isa, and Everett used to be an inseparable trio before their love lives became a tangled mess. For starters, Grace is secretly in love with Everett, who used to go out with Isa before breaking her heart in the infamous Freshman Year Fracture. And, oh yeah, no one knows that Isa has been hanging out with James, Grace’s brother—and if Grace finds out, it could ruin their friendship.
With graduation fast approaching, Grace decides an unsanctioned senior skip day in Philadelphia might be just what they need to fix things. All she has to do is convince Isa to help her kidnap Everett and outmaneuver James, who’s certain his sister is up to something.
When I enter the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction, my goal is simple be the player who goes for the most dough. But when trouble shows up at the auction, I need a whole new play.
Enter Violet she's my best friend's sister and she's my close friend too. With a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash, Violet saves the day with the highest bid. I don't even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she's my girlfriend.
Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother.
And that his best friend has a crush on me.
And that I just moved in with them.
Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?
I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I’m not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I’m not about to start. I’ve got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s missing?
He knows where to find me.
Frente a la realidad múltiple y compleja, estamos sujetos a la aproximación, la ilusión y el error. Estos mecanismos cerebrales nos permiten construir una visión coherente del mundo pese a lo parcial de nuestra percepción, lo limitado de nuestra atención y la escasa fiabilidad de nuestra memoria. Pero a menudo también nos hacen perder lucidez, nos encierran en nuestros prejuicios y nos alejan de los demás.
Fruto de la amistad y de un afán poético innovador son las "Baladas líricas" de William Wordsworth y Samuel Taylor Coleridge, consideradas además como el "manifiesto del romanticismo inglés". De este modo, "Baladas líricas" resultó ser uno de los libros más trascendentales y revolucionarios de la poesía inglesa. Wordsworth y Coleridge, defensores de lo individual y lo concreto, proponen en sus "Baladas líricas" una innovación radical con respecto a la poesía que se había hecho hasta entonces.
