"the world didn't get worse. your eyes just got wider."

Hudson Ellis is good at his job. Somehow, he manages not to annoy people when he knocks at their doors and asks them to contribute to the charity he works for - instead, he gets them to sign up for sponsoring programmes and fish whatever spare change they have out of their pockets. Even the infamously tough residents of New York City are falling victim to Hudson's easy-going ways and wide smile; that is, until one woman renders him speechless with sarcastic refusals and slams her door in his face. Perhaps Hudson would be able to forget her - if it wasn't for the fact that she lives on the same floor of the next apartment over, and they both have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for a rather generous view into each other's flats.

"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet." I thought bullying didn't exist. And if it did, I wasn't a bully. Except I was. We all were. Not because we beat kids up. Or we called people freaks. Or gave them swirlies. Because we never did that. It was because we laughed." For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would.

Elliot nu crede în finaluri fericite nici măcar în profunzimile ființei sale. Tot ceea ce înseamnă el este foc. Un foc ce trăiește și arde pe oricine încearcă să îl aprindă mai tare. Poate fi o plăcere sau o tortură, îți poate trezi frica sau pasiunile cele mai ascunse. Îți poate pătrunde în adâncul sufletului și te va domina până la refuz. Everlee are virtuțile apei: un zâmbet luminos, gesturi delicate, o voce limpede și suavă. Prezența ei se simte ca o ploaie caldă de vară ce te face să închizi ochii pentru câteva secunde și să te bucuri de tot ceea ce are mai frumos de oferit. Liniștea sa este molipsitoare, chiar și pentru cel mai agitat suflet. Focul și apa sunt în permanentă opoziție. Nu se combină, nu se atrag, nu sunt făcute din aceeași magie. Everlee poate potoli focul lui Elliot. Elliot poate tulbura infinitatea liniștită a apei lui Everlee. Deși sunt distructivi reciproc, nimic nu stă în calea iubirii. Ea poate veni din cea mai adâncă apă și chiar și din cel mai fierbinte foc. #1 in #sentimente 12.03.2022 #1 in #emotii 16.03.2022 #5 in #dragoste 19.04.2022 #1 in #love 31.05.2022 #1 in #ficțiune-adolescenți 14.06.2022 #1 in #teenfiction 15.07.2022 #1 in #iubire 06.08.2022 #1 in #fictiune 23.09.2022 #1 in #umor 05.12.2022 Cartea necesită unele editări.

Corinna Báthory, 16th-century nobility, is kidnapped and thrown into a male detective academy in present-day Florida. But they grabbed the wrong girl. Season 1 of Agents of Time ***** It's 1585, and things could not possibly be going any slower for Corinna Báthory. Overwhelmed with expectations as Hungarian nobility and the trials and tribulations of becoming a female playwright in a field dominated by men, Corinna would do anything for a change of pace. Of course, there's nothing better to speed up the narrative than being kidnapped...and being accused of being a serial killer. ***** [[ THE WATTY'S 2021 SHORTLIST ]]
