    • Effie's still not over her parents splitting up a year ago. Her dad and his new girlfriend are posting their PDAs all over Instagram - and no one should have to deal with photos of their dad with the hashtags #viagraworks and #sexinyoursixties. Now they're selling the beloved family home and holding a 'house-cooling' party. When Effie receives only a last-minute 'anti-invitation', she decides to give it a miss. Until she remembers her precious Russian dolls, safely tucked away up a chimney. She'll have to go back for them - but not as a guest. She'll just creep in, grab the dolls and make a swift exit. No one will know she was ever there. Of course, nothing goes to plan. Not only does Effie bump into her ex-boyfriend (who she's very much not over), she can't find the dolls. And as she secretly clambers around dusty attics, hides under tables and mournfully eyes up the dessert table, she discovers unexpected truths about her family - and even about herself. With time (and hiding places) running out, Effie starts to wonder if she'd be better off simply crashing the party. Perhaps that's the only way to find out what's really going on with her family...

    • Eileen is sick of being 79.Leena's tired of life in her twenties.Maybe it's time they swapped places...When overachiever Leena Cotton is ordered to take a two-month sabbatical after blowing a big presentation at work, she escapes to her grandmother Eileen's house for some overdue rest. Eileen is newly single and about to turn eighty. She'd like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen.Once Leena learns of Eileen's romantic predicament, she proposes a solution: a two-month swap. Eileen can live in London and look for love. Meanwhile Leena will look after everything in rural Yorkshire. But with gossiping neighbours and difficult family dynamics to navigate up north, and trendy London flatmates and online dating to contend with in the city, stepping into one another's shoes proves more difficult than either of them expected.Leena learns that a long-distance relationship isn't as romantic as she hoped it would be, and then there is the annoyingly perfect - and distractingly handsome - school teacher, who keeps showing up to outdo her efforts to impress the local villagers. Back in London, Eileen is a huge hit with her new neighbours, but is her perfect match nearer home than she first thought?

    • "Seventeen-year-old Chloe had a plan: work hard, get good grades, and attend a top-tier college. But after she collapses during cross-country practice and is told that she needs a new heart, all her careful preparations are laid to waste. Eight months after her transplant, everything is different. Stuck in summer school with the underachievers, all she wants to do now is grab her surfboard and hit the waves, which is strange, because she wasn't interested in surfing before her transplant. (It doesn't hurt that her instructor, Kai, is seriously good-looking.) And that's not all that's strange. There's also the vivid recurring nightmare about crashing a motorcycle in a tunnel and memories of people and places she doesn't recognize. Is there something wrong with her head now, too, or is there another explanation for what she's experiencing? As she searches for answers, and as her attraction to Kai intensifies, what she learns will lead her to question everything she thought she knew, about life, death, love, identity, and the true nature of reality"--Publisher's description

      Tiffy a Leon sa delia o byt, dokonca aj o posteľ. Tiffy Moorová si po nepríjemnom rozchode s priateľom hľadá nové bývanie. Čo najrýchlejšie a čo najlacnejšie. Lenže ponúkané londýnske byty sú príliš drahé a so svojím nízkym príjmom pomocnej editorky si ich nemôže dovoliť. Je taká zúfalá, že odpovie na inzerát, v ktorom sa hľadá spolubývajúci. Leon pracuje na nočné zmeny v hospici a byt vtedy nepotrebuje. Tiffy by ho teda mohla využívať v noci aj cez víkendy. Leon bude doma len v čase, keď sa ona bude zdržiavať v práci. V skutočnosti sa teda nikdy nemusia stretnúť. Tiffy a Leon si začnú nechávať odkazy – najprv o tom, kedy sa odvážajú odpadky, postupne sú však odkazy srdečnejšie, jeden druhému nechávajú jedlo či koláče, debatujú o všeličom možnom. Hoci sú rozdielni, čoskoro sa spriatelia. A možno medzi nimi vznikne aj niečo viac. Ibaže zaľúbiť sa do svojho spolubývajúceho asi nie je dobrý nápad, najmä ak ste sa s ním nikdy nestretli!

      Je jednoduché zaľúbiť sa do iného človeka, no keď s ním stvoríte novú bytosť, veci sa môžu poriadne skomplikovať Román Láska a bezsenné noci je ešte vtipnejšie pokračovanie bestselleru Láska, kde si?, v ktorom sa dozviete, čo nové sa udialo v živote Laury a Jamieho. Len sa spýtajte Jamieho a Laury Newmanovcov, ktorí brali antikoncepciu na ľahkú váhu a jedného dňa zistili, že čakajú dieťa. Iste, len nedávno sa vzali a desilo ich to, ale keď budú stáť pri sebe, všetko bude v poriadku. Či nie? Dúfajme, že áno, pretože cesta od počatia po prvé detské krôčiky je posiata mnohými prekážkami – dávením na verejnosti, nespavosťou, prudkými zmenami nálad, komplikovaným sexom a častým nadávaním. Ak sa k tomu všetkému pridá spoločnosť vzdorovitej svokry či pôrodnej asistentky, ktorá vzbudzuje strach, môžete sa dostať na pokraj zúfalstva.
