New Releases by Eliza Kennedy

Two people, one hotel room, and all the choices and complications that make up a life. After six years of a stolen hour here, another there, tonight is going to be different for Nick Holloway and Jenny Parrish. They’ve booked a room in a new luxury hotel in Manhattan, where they’ll spend the entire night together for the first time. Expectations are running high for this brief reprieve from ordinary life: they both need a good bout of ravishing sex and witty conversation. But that’s not what they get. Because they’ve barely gotten started when a smoke alarm goes off. Nick is annoyed, but not worried about what must be only a minor glitch. Jenny is anxious, guilty—is karma coming for them at last? This existential page-turner seamlessly shifts between Nick and Jenny’s perspectives as the reality of their situation becomes apparent, and all their secrets, evasions and regrets come spilling out. Stripped of their defenses, disagreeing about everything, these two flawed, funny, very different people are forced to be honest—with each other and themselves—about what they want, all they stand to lose, and whether their affair is really as casual as it seems.

Coleção Geração Ha. Porque as garotas só querem se divertir. Lily Wilder, americana de Nova York, brilhante advogada, está noiva de Will, um notável arqueólogo do Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ela é astuciosa, ousada, impulsiva, chegada a um bom drinque (dois, três ou cinco...), e, apesar de trair o noivo com certa frequência, não vê problemas em se casar. À medida que o casamento se aproxima, no entanto, Lily começa a achar que o dia mais feliz da sua vida pode se transformar no seu pior erro. E nos seis dias que antecedem a grande data – seguindo uma escola de filmes como O casamento do meu melhor amigo, O melhor amigo da noiva e O casamento do meu ex –, situações limites são decididas e encaminhadas. Por conta de seu passado de delinquente juvenil, a futura sogra de Lily a chantageia; sua família (a avó, a mãe e duas de suas madrastas) a pressiona para que desista do casamento, argumentando que ela não presta para Will, que é um rapaz muito correto; o escritório de advocacia onde ela trabalha a obriga a preparar uma testemunha para uma audiência na véspera do seu casamento; seu amor de adolescência, Teddy, reaparece depois de 14 anos... Tudo isso ao mesmo tempo dos preparativos para a festa. São muitas as tramas e peripécias na vida de Lily: todas divertidíssimas. O sexo é ótimo, assim como são impagáveis as reuniões em família. Com muito humor e em meio a sucessivas reviravoltas, a autora aborda algumas questões fundamentais na área da sexualidade e dos relacionamentos amorosos e interpessoais.

Soll Lily Wilder wirklich heiraten? Und kann sie vorher noch schnell mit dem Trauzeugen schlafen? So eine frische und provokante Stimme haben Sie noch nicht gelesen! »Die lustigste Erzählerin seit Bridget Jones, der unterhaltsamste Roman seit Jahren« Jane Green Lily Wilder ist die glücklichste Frau der Welt. Sie hat einen Traumjob als Anwältin, Freundinnen, eine liebevolle Familie und einen Verlobten zum Dahinschmelzen. Will ist ein kluger, gutaussehender Mann. »Es gibt nur eine Eigenschaft, die ihm fehlt: mehr als ein Mann zu sein. So viele gute Eigenschaften, aber nur ein Körper!" Lily mag Will, aber ist Heiraten wirklich ihr Ding? Liebt sie ihn genug, um sich nicht bei jeder Gelegenheit einem anderen Körper zuzuwenden? Will liebt Lily, aber kennt er sie gut genug? Ihre Mutter, ihre Großmutter und ihre drei Stiefmütter bezweifeln das ganz stark. Untreue hat Tradition in der Familie. Lily lässt sich nicht beirren, doch ihr neuestes Mandat droht sowohl ihre Heiratspläne als auch ihre Karriere zum Scheitern zu bringen. In den sechs Tagen vor der Hochzeit muss sie ihren Mandanten retten – und sich selbst.

Lily Wilder vive a New York, fa l''avvocato, e si sente la donna più fortunata del mondo. Ha un lavoro da sogno, un gruppo di amici fantastici e Will, il fidanzato migliore che si possa desiderare. Che sta per diventare suo marito. Lily è allegra, sfrontata, ama divertirsi e farsi un drink (o meglio, cinque o sei) con le amiche. Ma, soprattutto, è completamente incapace di rimanere fedele a un solo uomo. A Lily piace Will, ma ne è davvero innamorata? Will ama Lily, ma la conosce fino in fondo? A mano a mano che la data del matrimonio si avvicina, le serate di Lily - e le mattine, e i pomeriggi - si fanno sempre più selvagge, all''insegna di sbronze, risate e comportamenti alquanto discutibili... E se il giorno più felice della sua vita si trasformasse nel suo peggiore sbaglio? Il romanzo d''esordio di Eliza Kennedy è davvero irresistibile: è una storia d''amore decisamente non convenzionale, una commedia spassosissima, sexy e intelligente al tempo stesso. E che, soprattutto, ci regala una nuova, indimenticabile eroina. Se Lily Wilder fosse una nostra amica di certo non ci mancherebbero le occasioni per essere coinvolte in qualche avventura fuori dagli schemi. Lily è sfacciata, irriverente, sicura di sé, politicamente scorretta. Si comporta esattamente come un uomo incapace di resistere alle tentazioni e agli eccessi, solo che quando è una donna a farlo siamo subito pronti a scandalizzarci... Quello che è certo è che sentiremo parlare di lei molto a lungo...

Je vais me marier. il est parfait. C''est la cata. Il reste à Lily huit jours avant le grand bonheur : son mariage avec Will, l''homme idéal que toutes ses copines lui envient. Mais est-ce une bonne idée de se marier quand on est incapable de résister à un beau garçon ? Terrifiée par la fidélité, mais trop amoureuse de Will pour renoncer à lui, Lily passe la semaine précédant son mariage à ingurgiter des cocktails bien tassés et à s''envoyer en l''air avec qui lui chante. Et ce qui devrait être le plus beau jour de sa vie menace de tourner au drame. Une comédie qui donne à réfléchir sur fond de coke, vodka et sexe à gogo. Imprévisible mais pertinente, Lily pose les bonnes questions sur l''amour et la monogamie avec un mélange détonant de gravité et d''humour.

Meet Lily Wilder: New Yorker, lawyer extraordinaire, blushing bride. And totally incapable of being faithful to one man. Lily’s fiancé Will is a brilliant, handsome archaeologist. Lily is sassy, impulsive, fond of a good drink (or five) and has no business getting married. Lily likes Will, but does she love him? Will loves Lily, but does he know her? As the wedding approaches, Lily’s nights—and mornings, and afternoons—of booze, laughter and questionable decisions become a growing reminder that the happiest day of her life might turn out to be her worst mistake yet. Unapologetically sexy with the ribald humor of Bridesmaids, this joyously provocative debut introduces a self-assured protagonist you won’t soon forget.
