      Tri roky po masakre na ich strednej škole. Tri roky klamstiev. Má ešte zmysel povedať pravdu? Lee, Eden, Miles, Ashley a Denny sú jediní, ktorí sa so strelcom stretli a prežili. Teda, ešte Kellie, ale tú radšej nik nespomína. Lee držala svoju najlepšiu kamošku Sarah v náručí, kým zomierala. Ashley bola v zlom čase na zlom mieste a útočník ju postrelil pri úteku. Miles ju chránil vlastným telom a pre všetkých je hrdina, aj keď si o ňom predtým mysleli len to najhoršie. Nevidiaceho Dennyho všetci ľutujú, no on celú masakru prečkal v tme... Eden mala jednoducho šťastie, že ju guľka nenašla v miestnosti, kde väčšina ľudí neprežila. A Kellie sa musela takmer okamžite po týchto udalostiach odsťahovať z mesta. Sarah také šťastie nemala a jej rodičia o nej dokončujú knihu, až na to, že... to celé bolo úplne inak. Má ešte zmysel vyjsť s pravdou von a rozbiť predstavu, ktorú si o Sarah a ostatných vybudoval celý svet? Nie je na pravdu už neskoro? A komu tým vlastne pomôžu? Výnimočný príbeh od autorky románu The Duff. To pravé pre fanúšikov kníh Jeden z nás klame, Farby smútku a Mŕtve dievča neklame.

    • Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorce dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancee and her kids. The fiancee's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great. Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together. Filled with authenticity and raw emotion, Whitley is Kody Keplinger's most compelling character to date: a cynical Holden Caulfield-esque girl you will wholly care about.

      Bo Dickinson is a girl with a wild reputation, a deadbeat dad, and a mama who’s not exactly sober most of the time. Everyone in town knows the Dickinsons are a bad lot, but Bo doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Agnes Atwood has never gone on a date, never even stayed out past ten, and never broken any of her parents’ overbearing rules. Rules that are meant to protect their legally blind daughter—protect her from what, Agnes isn’t quite sure. Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. And it’s the sort of friendship that runs truer and deeper than anything else. So when Bo shows up in the middle of the night, with police sirens wailing in the distance, desperate to get out of town, Agnes doesn’t hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo’s dad, staying ahead of the authorities, and—worst of all—confronting some ugly secrets.
