Cítila som na sebe Ollyho pohľad, keď si myslel, že to nevidím, no aj ja som naňho potajomky vrhala zamilované pohľady... Roztriasla som sa a zavinula som sa do osušky. Olly si mylne vysvetlil moje chvenie, pristúpil bližšie a pridal mi na plecia svoju osušku. Jeho pokožka voňala po oceáne a ešte po niečom inom, po nejakej neopísateľnej veci, ktorá z neho robila Ollyho. Bola som zo seba v šoku, pretože som zatúžila dotknúť sa jeho hrude.
Osemnásťročná Madeline je veľmi zvláštne dievča – vlastne veľmi zvláštny je jej život. Býva sama s mamou a nesmie vyjsť z domu, lebo vraj má výnimočné ochorenie, absolútny nedostatok imunity voči okoliu. Nechodí ani do školy – učenie prebieha cez internet a len zriedkavo k nej prichádza učiteľ. Madelinin život obráti naruby príchod novej rodiny do susedstva, predovšetkým záhadného chlapca Ollyho, oblečeného vždy v čiernom. Skontaktujú sa prostredníctvom e-mailov a Madeline začne objavovať vonkajší svet, no aj tajomné okolnosti spojené s jej chorobou. Zažije veľké prekvapenie, ale aj nebezpečné a krásne dobrodružstvo.
The internationally bestselling love story from Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything. Soon to be a major film starring Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton! Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store--for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

She expected to find liberals and social justice activists striving for racial equality, but Liberty residents seem more focused on booking spa treatments and ignoring the world’s troubles. Jasmyn’s only friends in the community are equally perplexed and frustrated by most residents' outlook. Then Jasmyn discovers a terrible secret about Liberty and its founders. Frustration turns to dread as their loved ones start embracing the Liberty way of life. Will the truth destroy her world in ways she never could have imagined? Thrilling with insightful social commentary, One of Our Kind explores the ways in which freedom is complicated by the presumptions we make about ourselves and each other.
