1989. Una tempesta geomagnetica di proporzioni colossali fa crollare il mondo capitalista nell'oscurità. Niente più luce elettrica, niente più linea telefonica, niente più riscaldamento, nessun contatto con il resto del globo. Così, mentre si fondono centrali nucleari e intere nazioni collassano su se stesse, ha luogo dei più grandi traumi generazionali della storia. Quando torna la luce, nulla è più come prima. 2019. Il partito Coalizione Italia Rinascente governa indisturbato da quasi vent'anni in un clima di forte elitarismo e ipocrisia. All'alba dei suoi ventuno, invece, la studentessa di Medicina Diletta Masi si accorge di non sapere che cosa vuole veramente. Ancora turbata dalla morte della nonna materna, che in sé portava l'eco della sua infanzia nella campagna anconetana, Diletta incontra una vecchia amica che capolvogerà tutto il suo mondo. Dall'altra parte di Bologna, Andrea Zavatta vive la sua vita un turno al ristorante alla volta, incastrata tra l'odio formidabile per il regime e una famiglia che le va troppo stretta. Affascinante ribelle e fedelissima ai suoi amici, Andrea cerca in Diletta la bambina della quale si era infatuata, un rifugio negli anni di incertezza che sono i venti. Insieme a loro un gruppo di coetanei pieni di sogni e di paure in un mondo in bilico sul precipizio dell'ennesima tempesta solare; sarà questo il teatro dei loro tentativi di cambiare le cose, o più semplicemente di trovare un posto in una realtà che pare sfuggirgli dalle mani.

In which the popular boy attempts to use an exchange student to make his ex girlfriend jealous, but his ex ends up (fake) dating the exchange student instead. - After nearly three years of breaking and making up with her ex-boyfriend, all that Silena Valentine wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, she gets Mena Skelin- a handful of a temporary roommate, whose otherwise extensive vocabulary doesn't seem to include either of those words. Soon enough, Silena finds herself volunteering to do things she never would have even imagined: like kissing someone in front of the entire school, and catching very real feelings for her very fake girlfriend. And the latter kind of sucks, since she's pretty certain that Mena is only doing this in order to get revenge at the boy she actually likes. But then again, everything isn't always what it looks like.

[Formerly known as 'Trinkets'] Mahika and Amoli can't stand each other, but that's not the only thing they have in common. Mahika treats Amoli like she's childish. Amoli thinks Mahika is a stuck-up prude. But Mahika's best friend and Amoli's brother are getting married, so they can't ignore each other forever.

Throw a big fat Indian wedding, some alcohol, and a dimly lit hotel room together, and you'll find out, too. Because Mahika and Amoli certainly do.
