Loveboat, Taipei – Szerelem Tajvanon
“Az unokatestvéreink is részt vettek ebben a programban – suttogja Sophie. – Titokban tartják, de zéró a felügyelet.” És ezzel kezdetét veszi Ever Wong hihetetlen nyári kalandja. A tábor hivatalos neve Chien Tan, Tajvan egyik szigorú oktatási programja, amelyre Ever egyáltalán nem vágyott. Helyette azonban egy szerelemhajón találja magát, ahol mindenkivel összejöhetsz, a felnőttek szemet hunynak minden felett, kígyóvérből készült szaké ömlik a csapból, és nonstop éjszakai élet folyik. Csakhogy minden diáknak van rejtett oldala. Ever az orvosira készül, de titkon szenvedélyesen szeret táncolni. Rick Woo egy Yale-re bejutott tehetséges csodagyerek, aki megkeserítette Ever eddigi életét, de akinek a tökéletessége mögött titok lappang. Sophie Ha odavan a fiúkért és megszállottja a divatnak, de kiderül, hogy megnyerő külsején kívül más értéke is van. A szexi Xavier Yeh pedig egy szégyellnivaló tényt rejteget, amit senki nem tud róla. A diákok élete egy nyárra összefonódik, így garantált, hogy Ever számára a tábor örökké emlékezetes marad.
Loveboat Reunion
This companion novel to Abigail Hing Wen's New York Times bestselling debut, Loveboat, Taipei, takes readers back to Taipei through the eyes of fan favorites Sophie and Xavier - on an unforgettable journey of glittering revelry and self-discovery that's perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Mary H. K. Choi.
Sophie Ha and Xavier Yeh have what some would call a tumultuous past.
Hearts were broken, revenge was plotted - but at least they're friends now. They left the drama behind them back in Taipei - at their summer program, Loveboat - forever.
Now that fall is here, they're focusing on what really matters. Sophie has sworn off boys and is determined to be the best student Dartmouth's ever had. Xavier just wants to stay under his overbearing father's radar, collect his trust fund when he turns eighteen, and concentrate on what makes him happy.
But the world doesn't seem to want Sophie and Xavier to succeed. Sophie's college professor thinks her first major project is "too feminine." Xavier's father gives him an ultimatum: finish high school or be cut off from his inheritance.
Then Sophie and Xavier find themselves on a wild, nonstop Loveboat reunion, hatching a joint plan to take control of their futures. Can they succeed together . . . or are they destined to combust?
Loveboat, Taipei
Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen, this romantic and layered Own Voices debut from Abigail Hing Wen is a dazzling, fun-filled romp. "Our cousins have done this program," Sophie whispers. "Best kept secret.
Zero supervision." And just like that, Ever Wong's summer takes an unexpected turn. Gone is Chien Tan, the strict educational program in Taiwan that Ever was expecting. In its place, she finds Loveboat: a summer-long free-for-all where hookups abound, adults turn a blind eye, and the nightlife runs nonstop.
But not every student is quite what they seem:Ever is working toward becoming a doctor but nurses a secret passion for dance. Rick Woo is the Yale-bound child prodigy bane of Ever's existence whose perfection hides a secret. Boy-crazy, fashion-obsessed Sophie Ha turns out to have more to her than meets the eye.
And under sexy Xavier Yeh's shell is buried a shameful truth he'll never admit. When these students' lives collide, it's guaranteed to be a summer Ever will never forget!PRAISE FOR LOVEBOAT, TAIPEI: 'A unique story from an exciting and authentic new voice.' - Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes 'Equal parts surprising, original and intelligent.
