      In the game of love you can't afford to drop the ball... Zoe's always been shy. At college, to try to help her, her friend dares her to do the craziest thing she can think of... kiss a random guy. She follows Dylan into a room she thinks is a classroom and ends up seeing a little too much of him. She can hardly kiss him now... not when after their embarrassing encounter and certainly not after he tells her he has a girlfriend. But when he finds out about the dare, the two make a pact... if they ever cross paths again - and they're both single - they'll kiss. Two years later, fate intervenes, and they end up as accidental roommates. Now Zoe's seeing a lot more of Dylan than she bargained for and it's even harder to resist peeking the second time round.

      Sublime and maddening, fascinating yet baffling, Italy is a country of endless paradox and seemingly unanswerable riddles. John Hooper's marvellously entertaining and perceptive new book is the ideal companion for anyone seeking to understand contemporary Italy and the unique character of the Italians. Looking at the facts that lie behind - and often belie - the stereotypes, his revealing book sheds new light on many aspects of Italian life: football and Freemasonry, sex, symbolism and the reason why Italian has twelve words for a coat hanger, yet none for a hangover.

      Zamilovať sa je také ľahké! Tá ťažšia časť prichádza, keď chceš odísť. Deň pred plánovaným sťahovaním na opačný koniec krajiny sa Fallon zoznámi s Benom, nádejným mladým spisovateľom. Hoci na seba natrafia za zvláštnych okolností, preskočí medzi nimi iskra. Posledný deň v L. A. preto strávia spolu. Spočiatku je Fallon voči Benovmu záujmu skeptická, pre jazvy na tvári si vôbec nepripadá pekná. Napokon sa dohodnú, že sa každý rok stretnú v ten istý deň, no inak bude žiť každý sám a po svojom. Ich vzájomná dohoda ako aj Fallonin neobyčajný život poznačený jednou osudnou nocou sa stanú inšpiráciou Benovej plánovanej knihy. Časom však Fallon prepadnú pochybnosti. Hovorí jej Ben pravdu, alebo ju klame, aby mohol do svojho románu zakomponovať nečakaný dejový zvrat?
