I heard a chuckle come from Hunter. "Do you want to know what I think?" He said. "No, not really." "I think you and I are not as different as you think we are.

PLAN B Rita terbiasa memastikan semuanya berjalan sesuai rencana. Sebagai owner sebuah EO kecil di Jakarta Selatan, dia tahu cara mengatur enam puluh peserta, dua bus, rundown yang padat, vendor yang harus dikontrol, sampai masalah kecil yang biasanya muncul lima menit sebelum acara dimulai. Yang tidak pernah masuk hitungan Rita adalah ketika rencana mulai berubah satu per satu. Dan perjalanan corporate gathering tiga hari bersama enam puluh orang menjadi buktinya. Ada hujan yang menggagalkan gala dinner. Ada requirement yang berubah di saat terakhir. Ada peserta yang tidak selalu mengikuti rundown. Ada tim yang ternyata bisa mengambil keputusan tanpa menunggu instruksinya. Lalu ada Jo. Fotografer vendor yang awalnya tidak lebih dari seorang rekan kerja. Tenang. Praktis. Observasional. Tidak banyak bicara. Jo tidak datang untuk menyelamatkan Rita. Dia hanya melakukan pekerjaannya dengan baik. Entah kenapa, justru itu yang perlahan membuat Rita nyaman. PLAN B adalah cerita tentang pekerjaan, perjalanan, kekacauan kecil yang terasa nyata, dan dua orang dewasa yang awalnya hanya belajar saling percaya-sampai tanpa sadar mulai mencari kehadiran satu sama lain. Karena terkadang, yang berubah bukan rencana kita. Tapi cara kita melihat seseorang yang awalnya tidak pernah kita rencanakan.

Adrian Cole was supposed to fly home to his wife. Instead, after a reckless weekend in Miami and a marriage barely surviving couples therapy, the Wall Street broker turns off his phone, gets behind the wheel, and heads west. No destination. No explanation. Just the need to disappear. Then he sees Eli Mercer walking alone along a country highway with a battered backpack and his feet trudging along pointed toward California. Adrian should keep driving. He doesn't. What begins as a ride to the next town becomes thousands of miles between two strangers who are both running from something, and the farther they travel, the harder it becomes to tell what they're running from... and what they're running toward.

They took me because of what my brother did. He kept me because of what I started to mean. I never asked to be anyone's leverage. But when Adrian Vale crosses Matteo De Luca, I become the price my brother is supposed to pay-dragged across state lines in the back of a stranger's car, a hostage with no idea how this ends. Matteo isn't what I expected. He's controlled, dangerous, and terrifyingly calm about all of it. He doesn't explain himself. He doesn't apologize. But somewhere between the motels, the borrowed jacket I refuse to give back, and the nights I'm not supposed to be watching him sleep, I start to wonder if the man holding me hostage understands my brother less than he thinks he does. The farther we drive from everything I know, the harder it becomes to remember why I'm supposed to hate him. Because somewhere along the road, Matteo stops feeling like my captor. And starts becoming the man I don't want to leave. I was never supposed to want to stay. One bed. One road. One choice neither of us saw coming. A slow-burn, explicit mafia romance

"I just need to stay back and finish the speech." "You can write on the road, Lany. It'll give you more 'life experience' anyway. Who knows, maybe you'll fall in love." God, I hope she's talking about the scenery.

Both received the same devastating diagnosis of stage-four lung cancer leaving them with an uncertain future. Gwen, a mother of three, places her faith in modern medicine, willing to do whatever it takes to fight for a future with her children. She doesn't understand Jeremy's choice to simply forego treatment and seemingly run from his problem. When Gwen and Jeremy turned their attention towards each other they begin to appreciate what they had been missing all those years. But time is running out on their new found love. Led by persistent visions in his dreams, Jeremy discovers a hidden message in his grandparents bible that points him south to a small Mexican village in search of a future. Undaunted by those urging him to stay and accept modern medical treatment he sets off to discover if his ancestors really do have the answers. Jeremy sees no other way forward and chooses this unlikely path to save himself and Gwen, the new focus of his life. The journey will not be easy and success can not be guaranteed but, in his mind, the journey must be made. Can this desperate attempt at chasing a cure give Gwen and Jeremy more time?

Ten college students. One incredibly stupid idea. An entire continent to make someone else's problem. It was supposed to be an ordinary college lecture. Then someone asked the question that would ruin ten perfectly respectable young adults: "What if we just left?" Not dropped out after careful consideration. Not transferred schools. Not taken a gap year. Left. They wanted adventure. They wanted stories. They wanted to experience the kind of ridiculous shit their dads could talk about for hours. They wanted dad lore. So they dropped out of college, neglected to tell their parents, called in a favor involving a C-17 Globemaster, and somehow ended up illegally entering China. What follows is a journey across Asia involving martial arts tournaments, ancient legends, questionable transportation decisions, military police, unfinished shopping malls, international news coverage, dragons, guns, fishing, photography, political arguments, and at least one incident that should probably never be mentioned in front of a federal investigator. Along the way, ten friends who thought they were throwing their futures away begin discovering something much more important: Maybe figuring out what you want to do with your life doesn't always happen in a classroom. Sometimes you have to get lost first. Preferably somewhere in China. And preferably not while being chased by the PLA. This is the story of ten idiots who went looking for dad lore and accidentally found themselves.

"I'm fine with being alone," was all that Nico has said upon being asked about having friends or a girlfriend. But things suddenly, unexpectedly took a turn-and really shook his world. And it all started when the sweet, cheerful Gracie moved in with her brothers just next door.

Raahi Bhasin and Ehaan Arora were once childhood friends who knew everything about each other. They were also constantly arguing, competing, stealing each other's food and pretending they were not each other's favourite person. Then something happened in school. Something neither of them ever fixed. Years later, they barely speak-until Raahi's brother and Ehaan's sister decide to get married in Jammu, and their entire childhood friend group chooses to road-trip there from Mumbai. Somewhere along the way, Raahi and Ehaan get left behind. Alone. What follows is a journey filled with wrong turns, roadside chai, questionable motels, local dhabas, near fights, old memories and far too much time together. And the closer they get to Jammu, the harder it becomes to ignore one inconvenient truth: Maybe they never stopped knowing each other. Maybe they only stopped trying.

Some people come into your life quietly. Others crash in like a wave-and suddenly, everything changes. Dylan Murphy has always played it safe. She's the quiet girl living in her older sister's shadow that no one really notices, except for her best friend Bex or course, and maybe the cute boy from art club. Art is her escape, but beyond that? Dylan's not sure where she belongs-especially after high school ends. Zach Marino, on the other hand, is everything she's not. Popular, confident, and about as off-limits as they come. So when they unexpectedly join forces in hopes of helping Zach stay on the hockey team, Dylan immediately regrets her decision. What was she thinking? Can Zach surprise her and prove that just maybe, he isn't all bad like his reputation? One surprising semester. One to-do-before-college list. Friendship to win. Everything to lose. And maybe-for the first time in both their lives-everything to find.
