Kuchen, Küsse und andere Katastrophen Der humorvolle Liebesroman mit viel Herz und Gefühl Emma ist über ihren Exfreund hinweg. Wirklich. Diesem Mistkerl weint sie keine Träne mehr nach. Na ja, vielleicht noch eine. Oder auch zwei. Doch von Männern hat sie vorerst die Nase voll und eine neue Beziehung kommt sowieso nicht in Frage. Mit diesem felsenfesten Entschluss sollte ihr eigentlich der unbekannte Typ in der WG-Küche nicht gefährlich werden, der Emma plötzlich ins Wanken bringt. Paul stellt sich nämlich nicht nur als gewitzt und ziemlich gutaussehend heraus, er ist auch der letzte One-Night-Stand von ihrer Mitbewohnerin. Zum Glück ist er gar nicht Emmas Typ, denn er würde ihr vermutlich das Herz brechen.

From USA Today and Wall St. Journal bestselling author Emma Scott comes an all-new emotional, angsty coming-of-age love story perfect for fans of Jennifer Hartmann and Laura Nowlin. At ten years old, they promised each other forever. But his letters never came. And her heart never healed. Seven years later, Xander Ford returns to Castle Hill Academy, broken by grief and hiding behind logic, rowing, and the weight of caring for his sick father. He never stopped thinking of Emery Wallace, the kind girl who once saw him when no one else did. Emery looks perfect on the outside: wealthy, popular, untouchable. But behind the flawless mask is a girl unraveling under her father's ruthless expectations and her mother's drowning grief. When fate pulls them back together, the connection they shared as kids flares into something undeniable and impossible to ignore. Emery shows Xander that people, like light, can be both shattered and whole. And Xander gives Emery a reason to believe in herself again. But their love faces obstacles they can't control--family expectations, broken promises, and the cruel truth that not everyone wants them together. Some loves are once-in-a-lifetime. The question is: can theirs keep them in the light?

Rough Trade Book of the Year Resident Book of the Year A Rolling Stone Book of the Year A Mojo Book of the Year A Sunday Times Book of the Year Formed in 1988, Lush were part of the London gig scene during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in UK music. Now, Miki Berenyi tells all. From the bohemian ways of her father's social circle to the privileged glamour of her mother's acting career, Miki's young life was a blur of travel, celebrities and peripatetic schooling. But frequent relocation, parental neglect and the dark presence of her abusive grandmother resulted in crippling shyness, mental-health issues and a vulnerability to exploitation. The route out of this hole was music - a passion shared by schoolmate Emma Anderson. The teenagers began attending gigs together and would ultimately go on to form Lush. Talented and exuberant, the band became hot property, swiftly transitioning from shoegaze icons to Britpop darlings. Re-living the tours, recording sessions and music-industry madness they experienced along the way, this uncompromising memoir documents Lush's thrilling rise and untimely fall. Yet at the heart of the book are Miki's own battles: the conflict between her mouthy public persona and her thin-skinned private identity; the trials of being a woman in an infuriatingly male world; the struggle to find a middle ground between 'safe' indie obscurity and 'sell-out' international success. Miki also explores her complicated relationship with Emma - one that has fluctuated between camaraderie and rivalry over the years - and addresses the devastating tragedy that led to the band's split. Told through frank confession, wry humour and searing emotional honesty, this is the incredible tale of a trailblazing woman and a seminal band.

The story follows the life of Emma Bovary, a young woman married to a country doctor, Charles Bovary.
