Racquel Marie Knihy

Kniha nominovaná na Goodreads Choice Award ako najlepší YA román roka 2022!Ophelia Rojasová vie, čo ju zaujíma: najlepší kamoši, kubánske jedlo, pestovanie ruží a chlapci - vlastne až priveľa chlapcov. Priatelia aj rodičia si ju pre nekonečnú záplavu lások doberajú, no Ophelia je v srdci romantička. A nemenila by, ani keby chcela. Je už raz taká.Prvé pochybnosti sa však zjavia, keď ju viac než maturitný ples začne zaujímať nenápadná Talia Sanchezová. Keď sa k tomu pridá blížiaci sa koniec strednej a trhliny v partičke kamarátov, ktorá doteraz stála na pevných základoch, veci naberú rýchly spád. Ale láska sa bez skúšok nezaobíde. A s každým novým odhaleným tajomstvom sa neodvratne blíži chvíľa, keď sa bude Ophelia musieť rozhodnúť. Zostane lipnúť na vysnívanej predstave o sebe samej, alebo prekvapí všetkých vrátane seba a pokúsi sa zistiť, kým naozaj je? Prvé vydanie knihy je špeciálnou limitovanou edíciou s kvetinovou oriezkou.

Perfect for fans of Nina LaCour, This is Me Trying is a profound and tender YA contemporary novel exploring grief, love, and guilt from author Racquel Marie.

A queer YA romance about rival soccer players from author Racquel Marie, perfect for fans of She Drives Me Crazy. Valentina “Vale” Castillo-Green’s life revolves around soccer. Her friends, her future, and her father’s intense expectations are all wrapped up in the beautiful game. But after she incites a fight during playoffs with her long-time rival, Leticia Ortiz, everything she’s been working toward seems to disappear. Embarrassed and desperate to be anywhere but home, Vale escapes to her beloved childhood soccer camp for a summer of relaxation and redemption...only to find out that she and the endlessly aggravating Leticia will be co-captaining a team that could play in front of college scouts. But the competition might be stiffer than expected, so unless they can get their rookie team’s act together, this second chance—and any hope of playing college soccer—will slip through Vale’s fingers. When the growing pressure, friendship friction, and her overbearing father push Vale to turn to Leticia for help, what starts off as a shaky alliance of necessity begins to blossom into something more through a shared love of soccer...and maybe each other. Sharp, romantic, and deeply emotional, You Don’t Have a Shot is a rivals-to-lovers romance about rediscovering your love of the game and yourself, from the author of Ophelia After All.
