Jandy Nelson Knihy

Výnimočný príbeh od autorky románu Nebo na dosah. To pravé pre nedočkavých fanúšikov Johna Greena, Gayle Forman a Rainbow Rowell. Dvojčatá Jude a Noe znamenajú jeden pre druhého všetko. Keď majú trinásť, Jude príde na to, že je krásna a Noe, že je gej. Noe miluje okrem sestry už len kreslenie a robí všetko pre to, aby sa dostal na prestížnu umeleckú školu. Jude zamestnávajú viac chlapci. O tri roky je všetko inak. Na školu snov sa dostala Jude, ale je z nej utiahnutá sivá myška, čo sa skrýva za svoje obrazy. Z Noema sa stal pártyboy a lámač babských sŕdc. A ich mama je mŕtva. Dvojčatá spolu ledva prehovoria a ani jeden vlastne nevie prečo. Neuvedomujú si, že každý z nich tvorí len polovicu príbehu, a keby si k sebe našli cestu, dokázali by poskladať svoj svet dokopy, získali by druhú šancu na šťastný život.

Sedemnásťročná Lennie je klarinetistka (vcelku dobrá), prezývajú ju John Lennon (nenávidí to), je posadnutá Búrlivými výšinami (prečítala ich 23-krát) a nedávno jej zomrela staršia sestra Bailey. Mala by smútiť a vyrovnávať sa so sestrinou smrťou, ona sa však zamiluje až po uši. A rovno do dvoch chalanov naraz. Toby je skejter a sestrin exfrajer, ktorý ako jediný chápe jej žiaľ. Joe je nový chalan na škole, plný elánu, schopný vytiahnuť ju zo zabehnutých koľají a katapultovať do nebies. Aby toho nebolo málo, Lennie sa do života pletie rodina: päťkrát rozvedený strýko a babka, ktorá kreslí podivné zelené ženy a pestuje afrodiziakálne ruže.
