Κορίτσι από γυαλί
Από τη συγγραφέα των μπεστ σέλερ Διαλυμένο κορίτσι και Ο φίλος μου, το σκοτάδι. ΑΠΟΦΑΣΙΖΩ ΝΑ ΜΗ ΣΚΕΦΤΩ ΤΙΠΟΤΑ. ΤΗΝ ΥΠΟΣΧΕΣΗ ΜΟΥ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΜΠΕΡ. ΤΟΥΣ ΓΟΝΕΙΣ ΜΟΥ. ΤΟΥΣ ΒΑΘΜΟΥΣ ΜΟΥ. ΟΤΙΔΗΠΟΤΕ ΑΠ'' ΑΥΤΑ. ΘΑ ΤΑ ΕΞΑΦΑΝΙΣΩ ΟΛΑ. ΘΑ ΤΑ ΑΜΒΛΥΝΩ. ΘΑ ΤΑ ΚΑΝΩ ΚΟΜΜΑΤΙΑ. ΘΑ ΤΑ ΣΒΗΣΩ. ΓΙΑ ΛΙΓΟ. ΜΠΕΛΑ ΛΕΩ ΣΤΟΝ ΕΑΥΤΟ ΜΟΥ. ΜΠΕΛΑ ΚΑΝ'' ΤΟ. ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΚΑΝΩ. Κάθε άνθρωπος στη ζωή της δεκαπεντάχρονης Μπέλα θέλει κάτι από αυτήν. Η μητέρα της θέλει να βοηθάει στο σπίτι, ο πατέρας της θέλει να είναι φρόνιμη, ο πρώην της θέλει να μην είναι τόσο υπερβολική. Η μόνη που ποτέ δεν ήθελε τίποτα από αυτήν ήταν η γιαγιά της – που όμως δεν ζει πια. Μόνο ένα πράγμα απαλύνει τον πόνο: το αλκοόλ. Βότκα, μπίρα, σναπς μέντας – οτιδήποτε μαλακώνει τις αιχμές της ζωής της. Και ποιο είναι το πρόβλημα; Όλοι πίνουν. Εξάλλου η Μπέλα μπορεί να σταματήσει όποτε θέλει. Όταν όμως πέφτει αναίσθητη από το ποτό σε ένα πάρτι και ξυπνά στο νοσοκομείο, είναι αναγκασμένη να αντικρίσει την πραγματικότητα. Και για την Μπέλα, πραγματικότητα σημαίνει αποτοξίνωση. Θαυμάσια γραμμένο και βαθιά συμπονετικό, το νέο μυθιστόρημα της Kathleen Glasgow είναι μια ανυπόκριτη διερεύνηση των δυνάμεων που οδηγούν νέους ανθρώπους στον εθισμό – και τι στ’ αλήθεια χρειάζεται για να γίνουν καλά. Ένα ειλικρινές, σπαρακτικό μυθιστόρημα. ΕΓΡΑΨΕ Ο ΤΥΠΟΣ Το μυθιστόρημα της Glasgow μας εμπνέει και μας δίνει ελπίδα, και μας μαθαίνει πώς να δείχνουμε συμπόνια για ένα ζήτημα που πολύ συχνά παρεξηγούμε. Εντυπωσιακό. Josh Silver Ο λυρισμός της Glasgow σε στοιχειώνει και μετά σου ραγίζει την καρδιά. Πρέπει να το διαβάσετε. Laura Nowlin Το Κορίτσι από γυαλί είναι το καλύτερό της μυθιστόρημα ως τώρα. Meredith Adamo Ένα σύγχρονο αριστούργημα, δυνατό, γλυκόπικρο και απολύτως απαραίτητο. Amber Smith

The Glass Girl

release date: Oct 01, 2024
The Glass Girl
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces comes a raw, heart-wrenching novel about a teenager facing down her struggles with alcohol—and the journey she must take to heal. Everyone in fifteen-year-old Bella’s life needs something from her. Her mom needs her to help around the house, her dad needs her to not make waves, her ex needs her to not be so much. The only person who never needed anything from her was her grandmother—and now she’s dead. There’s only one thing that dulls the pressure: alcohol. Vodka, beer, peppermint schnapps—alcohol smooths the sharp edges of Bella’s life. And what’s the big deal? Everyone drinks. Besides, Bella can stop whenever she wants. But after she gets blackout drunk at a Thanksgiving party and wakes up in the hospital, it’s time to face reality. And for Bella, reality means rehab. Gorgeously written and deeply compassionate, Kathleen Glasgow’s The Glass Girl is a candid exploration of the forces pushing young women toward addiction—and what it really takes to help them get better.

A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow''s debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It''s a story you won''t be able to look away from.

Come fare amicizia col buio
Tiger Tolliver vive a Mesa Luna, località sperduta dell''Arizona, con sua madre June. È una ragazza di sedici anni che naviga tra le acque inquiete dell''adolescenza: ha un''unica amica, indossa abiti assurdi che sua mamma recupera dagli scatoloni abbandonati a bordo strada, suona la batteria senza avere idea di come si faccia, si vergogna del suo corpo. Spesso, si sente come un insetto rinchiuso in un barattolo di vetro. June è una donna ansiosa, iperprotettiva, che si arrabatta vendendo ai turisti marmellate fatte in casa e guidando il bibliobus della contea. Nonostante qualche attrito, ci sono state sempre e solo loro due, e hanno sempre tirato avanti come una "macchina ben oliata, carina e profumata". È un giorno di maggio pieno di luce, l''estate è alle porte e la scuola sta per finire, e Tiger ha appena dato il suo primo bacio quando riceve la telefonata che nessuno vorrebbe mai ricevere: sua madre è morta all''improvviso; ora, in assenza di un padre o altri parenti che possano prendersi cura di lei, tutto il suo mondo viene stipato in una valigia e spedito presso una famiglia affidataria, e poi un''altra, e un''altra ancora. Inghiottita nel vortice dei servizi sociali, Tiger non vede una possibile via d''uscita dal dolore e dalla solitudine, almeno fino a quando la speranza si manifesta nella persona di Shayna, una sorellastra più grande stravagante e turbolenta come un tornado. Vivere con Shayna è come vivere sulle montagne russe, e sarà proprio questo a dare a Tiger la forza per riemergere, poco alla volta, dall''abisso del suo cuore spezzato, a tirare fuori gli artigli, a fare amicizia col buio.

A noite do crime

A noite do crime
No último dia das bruxas, a ex-melhor amiga de Alice Ogilvie foi morta. Se não fosse pela improvável aliança de Alice com sua colega, Íris Adams, e sua biblioteca com a obra completa de Agatha Christie, provavelmente a pessoa errada estaria na prisão pelo crime. A polícia de Enseada do Castelo não é muito boa em solucionar crimes. Na verdade, eles são famosos por não resolverem nada. É por isso que, na noite do baile anual, Alice aproveita a oportunidade para explorar o Castelo Levy – o local de uma das mortes mais infames de Enseada do Castelo. Mona Moody, a inesquecível estrela do cinema, morreu lá há quase um século, e Alice tem quase certeza de que a polícia também errou nessa investigação. Mas, antes que possa sequer pensar em ir mais a fundo, ela cai de paraquedas na cena de um novo crime. Rebecca Kennedy é encontrada caída no chão com uma poça de sangue. E quem está de pé ao lado de Kennedy? Outra ex-amiga de Alice – Helen Park. A polícia de Enseada do Castelo acha que é um caso fácil, mas Alice e Íris têm certeza de que não pode ser tão simples. Park não é uma assassina – e as garotas sabem muito bem que na vida e seus mistérios as coisas raramente são o que aparentam. Para entender o presente, é preciso olhar para o passado. Enseada do Castelo é cheia de segredos, e Alice e Íris estão prestes a descobrir um dos maiores – e mais perigosos – de todos. A noite do crime é o aguardado segundo volume da série Agathas, coescrito pelas prestigiadas autoras Kathleen Glasgow e Liz Lawson. Nessa série, jovens adolescentes investigam mistérios sombrios em uma narrativa intrigante e divertida, que homenageia a obra de Agatha Christie trazendo muitos de seus elementos para os tempos atuais.

Então, para tentar superar tudo o que passou, lidar com a perda trágica do pai e da melhor amiga e sabendo que precisa tratar do transtorno que a leva a se cortar, Charlie vê a saída em uma mudança radical: deixar a fria Minneapolis e seguir para a escaldante Tucson, cidade onde um grande amigo mora.

The Night in Question
How do you solve a murder? Follow the lessons of the master—Agatha Christie! Iris and Alice find themselves in the middle of another Castle Cove mystery in the sequel to New York Times bestseller The Agathas, by powerhouse authors Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson. A PEOPLE MAGAZINE BEST BOOK OF SUMMER A READ WITH JENNA JR. SELECTION Last October, Alice Ogilvie''s ex-best friend, Brooke Donovan, was killed—and if it weren''t for Alice''s unlikely alliance with her tutor, Iris Adams, and her library of the complete works of Agatha Christie, the wrong person would almost certainly be sitting in prison for the crime. The Castle Cove police aren''t exactly great at solving crimes. In fact, they''re notorious for not solving crimes. Which is why, on the night of Castle Cove High''s annual Sadie Hawkins dance, Alice takes the opportunity to explore Levy Castle—the site of one of Castle Cove''s most infamous deaths. Mona Moody—u00adthe classic film star—died there almost a century ago, and Alice is pretty sure the police got that investu00adigation wrong, too. But before she can even think about digging deeper, she walks right into the scene of a new crime. Rebecca Kennedy, on the ground in a pool of blood. And standing over Kennedy? Another one of Alice''s ex-friends—Helen Park. The Castle Cove Police Department thinks it''s an open-and-shut case, but Alice and Iris are sure it can''t be that simple. Park isn''t a murderer—and the girls know all too well that in life, and in mysteries, things are rarely what they appear to be. To understand the present, sometimes you need to look to the past. Castle Cove is full of secrets, and Alice and Iris are about to uncover one of its biggest—and most dangerous—secrets of all.

The Agathas
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Who killed Brooke Donovan? It’s the biggest mystery of the summer, and everyone in Castle Cove thinks they know what happened. But they''re wrong. Two unlikely friends come together to solve the case in this fast-paced, fun, modern Agatha Christie inspired thriller. "Part Agatha Christie, part Veronica Mars, and completely entertaining." —Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Of Us Is Lying A PEOPLE MAGAZINE BEST BOOK OF SUMMER Last summer, Alice Ogilvie’s basketball-star boyfriend Steve dumped her. Then she disappeared for five days. She''s not talking, so where she went and what happened to her is the biggest mystery in Castle Cove. Or it was, at least. But now, another one of Steve’s girlfriends has vanished: Brooke Donovan, Alice’s ex–best friend. And it doesn’t look like Brooke will be coming back. . . Enter Iris Adams, Alice’s tutor. Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear, though unlike Alice, she doesn’t have the money or the means. That could be changed by the hefty reward Brooke’s grandmother is offering to anyone who can share information about her granddaughter’s whereabouts. The police are convinced Steve is the culprit, but Alice isn’t so sure, and with Iris on her side, she just might be able to prove her theory. In order to get the reward and prove Steve’s innocence, they need to figure out who killed Brooke Donovan. And luckily Alice has exactly what they need—the complete works of Agatha Christie. If there’s anyone that can teach the girls how to solve a mystery it’s the master herself. But the town of Castle Cove holds many secrets, and Alice and Iris have no idea how much danger they''re about to walk into.

You'd Be Home Now
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the critically acclaimed author of Girl in Pieces comes a stunning novel that Vanity Fair calls “impossibly moving” and “suffused with light”. In this raw, deeply personal story, a teenaged girl struggles to find herself amidst the fallout of her brother''s addiction in a town ravaged by the opioid crisis. For all of Emory''s life she''s been told who she is. In town she''s the rich one--the great-great-granddaughter of the mill''s founder. At school she''s hot Maddie Ward''s younger sister. And at home, she''s the good one, her stoner older brother Joey''s babysitter. Everything was turned on its head, though, when she and Joey were in the car accident that killed Candy MontClaire. The car accident that revealed just how bad Joey''s drug habit was. Four months later, Emmy''s junior year is starting, Joey is home from rehab, and the entire town of Mill Haven is still reeling from the accident. Everyone''s telling Emmy who she is, but so much has changed, how can she be the same person? Or was she ever that person at all? Mill Haven wants everyone to live one story, but Emmy''s beginning to see that people are more than they appear. Her brother, who might not be "cured," the popular guy who lives next door, and most of all, many "ghostie" addicts who haunt the edges of the town. People spend so much time telling her who she is--it might be time to decide for herself. A journey of one sister, one brother, one family, to finally recognize and love each other for who they are, not who they are supposed to be, You''d Be Home Now is Kathleen Glasgow''s glorious and heartbreaking story about the opioid crisis, and how it touches all of us.
