When Catherine Morrow is admitted to the Esther Percy School for
Girls, it's on the condition that she reform her ways. But that's
before the beautiful and charismatic Skye Butterfield, daughter of
the famous Senator Butterfield, chooses Catherine for her best
friend. Skye is in love with danger and the thrill of breaking
rules, taking risks, and crossing boundaries, no matter the stakes.
The problem is, the stakes keep getting higher, and Catherine can
neither resist Skye nor stop her from taking down everyone around
her.
De Gramont's chilling novel is a portrait of the seductions of
adolescence in all their beauty and terror. Caught in this alluring
world, the girls of Esther Percy are optimistic and willful, loving
and selfish, daring and cruel all the while believing they're
utterly indestructible.
"
We can't choose who we love...but can we choose to let go? Nina de
Gramont, author of "The Boy I Love" and "Every Little Thing in the
World," writes a most unusual love story in this "must-read"
("Kirkus Review") that is beautiful and poetic, forbidden and
radical--and utterly irresistible.
Stepsiblings Tressa and Luke have been close since they were
little...and when they become teenagers, they slip from being best
friends to being something more. Their relationship makes everyone
around them uncomfortable, but they can't--won't--deny their
connection. Nothing can keep them apart.
Not even death. Luke is killed in a horrible, tragic accident, and
Tressa is suddenly and desperately alone. Unable to outrun the
waves of grief and guilt and longing, she is haunted by thoughts of
suicide. And then she is haunted by Luke himself.
He visits only at night. But when he's with her, it's almost like
the accident never happened. Oh, there are reminders, from the way
she can only feel him when he touches the scars on her wrist, to
how she can't seem to tell him about life since he's been gone. As
long as they're together, though, the rest...it fades away.
But during the day it is Tressa who can't grasp hold of the people
around her. The same people who never wanted her and Luke together
in the first place are determined to help her move on. Determined
to help her heal. They just don't understand--one misstep, one inch
forward, could leave Luke behind forever.
Sixteen-year-old Sydney Biggs is a "good kid." Smart, pretty,
self-aware. No one doubts that she'll go far in life. But, lately
her mother worries that Sydney is wandering down the wrong path and
getting all caught up in petty teenage rebellion and shenanigans.
When Sydney and her best friend Natalia "borrow" a car to go to a
party and then get escorted home by the police, their parents pack
them up and ship them off to a hard-love wilderness camp--to stop
this behavior before it gets out of hand, before things go too far.
The problem is, they already have.
Sydney--the "good kid"--is pregnant.
In the wilds of Canada, where the girls are to spend the next four
weeks canoeing, camping and foraging for food, time is ticking,
because Sydney isn't sure what she wants to do about her pregnancy.
And she certainly isn't expecting the other heady issues that will
confront her as she forges friendships with her adventure-mates,
including a guy who makes it no secret that he is a major thug and
a teen television heartthrob with a secret of his own, not to
mention her own best friend -- who is very adamant about what
Sydney should do.
From the author of The Christie Affair, the new February Reese's
Book Club Pick and New York Times instant bestseller:A riveting
"literary whodunit" about a strained marriage and an unsolved
murder. Brett has been in love with her husband, Charlie, from the
day she laid eyes on him in college. When he is found murdered,
Brett is devastated. But if she is honest with herself, their
marriage had been hanging by a thread for quite some time. All
clues point to Charlie’s mentally ill brother, Eli, but any
number of people might have been driven to kill Charlie-a handsome,
charismatic man who unwittingly damaged almost every life he
touched. Brett is determined to understand how such a tragedy could
have happened-and whether she was somehow complicit. Set in the
desolate autumn beauty of Cape Cod, this riveting emotional puzzle
explores the psyche of a woman facing down the meaning of love and
loyalty. “Impossible to put down . . . With an artist’s eye and
a poet’s heart, de Gramont realizes a world of love, mystery, and
the shattering sorrow of mental illness, deceit, hope, and lives
cut short.” —Library Journal, starred review
