Leah Burkeová je cool bubeníčka, majsterka v tom, ako byť vždy nad vecou, a najlepšia kamoška Simona Spiera z bestsellerovej knihy Ja,Simon... proti pravidlám Homo sapiens. V ďalšom románe od Becky Albertalli sa dostáva do centra diania, aby rozohrala svoj part v príbehu o prvej láske a strastiach aj slastiach maturitného ročníka. Keď ide o bubnovanie, Leah nemá problém udržať rytmus, čo sa jej v skutočnom živote veľmi nedarí. Dokonca aj vo svojej partii tak trochu vyčnieva – ako jediné dieťa slobodnej matky to má rozhodne ťažšie ako jej priatelia. A hoci jej mama vie, že Leah je bisexuálka, nenazbierala ešte dosť odvahy, aby to povedala aj niektorému zo svojich kamošov. Dokonca ani Simonovi, ktorý už má coming out za sebou. Vzťahy v partii začínajú byť s blížiacimi sa maturitami a odchodom na vysokú školu poriadne napäté. Dlhoročné priateľstvo sa otriasa v základoch a pre Leah je čoraz ťažšie naladiť sa s nimi na rovnakú vlnovú dĺžku – najmä keď si uvedomí, že s jedným z nich by mohlo ísť o viac než len o kamarátstvo.
In a charming and witty novel in the tradition of Allison Pearson and Sophie Kinsella, Sarah Bilston tells the story of a busy career woman who finds her pregnancy a breeze -- until she's ordered off her feet for complete and total bed rest. Quinn "Q" Boothroyd is a young British lawyer married to an American and living in New York City. She's checked off most of the boxes on her "Modern Woman's List of Things to Do Before Hitting 30," and her busy working life has been relatively painless. But when her doctor tells her she must spend the last three months of her pregnancy lying in bed, Q is thrown into a tailspin. Initially bored and frustrated, Q soon fills her days by trying to reconnect with her workaholic husband, provide legal advice for her sweet Greek neighbor, forge new emotional bonds with her mother and sisters, and figure out who will keep her stocked up in cookies and sandwiches. Q experiences adventures on the couch she never would have encountered in the law firm and learns a lot about herself and what she wants out of life -- above all, about the little one growing inside her.
