Hold onto your teacups, lads. * * * How do you decide what's worth fighting for? While on a student exchange in Edinburgh, Scotland, writer Josephine Hughes takes a job at Starbucks to help pay her bills. It's a great job; she meets lots of new people and makes friends with her regulars. One in particular, however, has caught her eye. Louis Davidson is an Edinburgh native, a baker, and a student at the University of Edinburgh. Every morning at precisely 7:20 AM, he comes in and orders the same thing-but it quickly becomes apparent that Lou is not there for the coffee. Jo struggles with allowing herself to be vulnerable, hiding her name from Lou as a defense mechanism, and Lou pursues her relentlessly, hoping to eventually coax her out of her shell. Soon, however, they realize that Lou has deep-seated issues of his own. As Jo and Lou fight their own battles, they navigate the rough waters of relationship, seeking to answer one simple question: Is it worth it?

Lorsque la vie lève enfin son voile de misères, le jeune Delkateï Lytaël entrevoit une once d'espoir dans un parcours semé d'embûches et de désillusions. Le sort offre une chance inédite à cet adolescent italien : une place de choix dans un établissement dont nul ne connait l'existence. Diolyde lui ouvre ses portes et devient le théâtre d'événements sans noms. Ce lieu situé aux frontières du réel défie l'imagination, mais que cache cette vitrine clinquante ? Deux forces s'imposent et se distinguent. Le Bien et le Mal se voient représentés par une poignée de divinités. Leur symbole s'inscrit jusqu'au cœur de l'établissement dont ils sont les maîtres incontestés. Delkateï se voit projeté dans une terrible machination où l'on combat sans même en connaître la raison, au gré d'une ignorance détestable et au péril de sa vie. Ici, l'impuissance est reine et place l'Homme comme simple spectateur de sa propre destinée. Pantin d'un combat qui n'est pas le sien.

« Ce soir-là, les étoiles brillaient sous mes vertiges lunaires. Mon cœur chantait l'apparition d'un sentiment jusque là négligé. » Elle n'est rien qu'une danseuse à temps perdu, une âme égarée. À l'écoute de son corps, de ses sentiments et de son ressentit, elle danse. Elle laisse ce souffle inspirer ses gestes pour se mouvoir dans un espace neuf, plus ouvert. Quiconque l'observerait, n'y verrait qu'innocence et détermination. Mais perdue dans son mutisme, elle tente désespérément d'oublier et d'effacer son amertume. Avery est cette âme invisible et errante qui échappe à sa culpabilité le temps d'une chorégraphie. Celle qu'on admirait et aimait a disparu. Un concours artistique va les rassembler, elle, cette étudiante en école de danse et lui, Cayden, jeune homme à la fois discret et tenace. Le soir où ils se rencontrent, il est difficile pour Avery de ne pas sourire. Malgré l'attirance immédiate, cet étudiant à la voix d'ange semble bien plus mystérieux qu'elle ne l'imaginait. Et surtout, bien décidé à ranimer la flamme qui sommeille en elle. Quand une concurrence artistique et musicale se transforme en ciel étoilé, les jours meilleurs seront sous les étoiles. Leurs étoiles. Gagnant des Wattys 2020 dans la catégorie "Young Adult" Roman commencé en juillet 2018, publié le 2 janvier 2019, terminé le 6 août 2020
