We can't wait for someone to save us. I guess this is what happens when the world's burning and it feels like you're the only one pointing at it yelling, FIRE . . . An irresistible 'enemies to lovers' LGBTQ+ romance set against activism and influence by the highly acclaimed author of TikTok made-me-buy-it, Afterlove. For Ren Barbosa (5 million followers) and Pearl Newman (GreenGirlPearl) the feeling's mutual - deep, undeniable loathing. Ren hates Pearl's calmly righteous perfectionism just as Pearl can't stand the 'burn it down' disruption Ren carries out with her wildly popular climate crisis activists, Out of Time and her former situationship, Tab. A loathing that's complicated further by Renée's prickly mother being an OG eco-activist turned government influence and Pearl's idol. Plus Renée being only one arrest away from serious trouble. But when fate brings the rivals together for a sweltering summer under the guidance of vivacious rebranded influencer, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Increasingly cut off from the outside world, tensions rise as activism and personal lives collide.

From the acclaimed author of Afterlove comes a sapphic love story about the call of the sea, and the power of home. New Year's Day: A girl is brought to shore by fisherman - wild dark eyes, dark curls made darker and wilder by skin so pale she looks like an unfinished canvas. She knows she is called Nico, but other than that, she has no memory of why she was in the sea, or what came before. Reunited with her ex-girlfriend Mara, the pair try to uncover the mystery of what happened to lead to the accident. But there could be a reason Nico has locked everything behind a door. One day, she's going to be brave enough to open it, and what will happen to her then? What will happen to them? A beautiful YA mystery about two girls finding out the truth about the past... and the start of a brand new story together...

Světla auta. Poslední, co Ash slyší, je tříštění čelního skla na milion kousíčků, které se třpytí jako hvězdy. Ale přece to přežila. Nebo ne?

Nedokáže však zapomenout na svou první lásku Poppy a udělá cokoli, aby se s ní mohla ještě jednou setkat... i kdyby to znamenalo jen několik společně strávených dní.
