"A friends-to-lovers romance that’s magically both hot and wholesome. Cozy, sexy, and so very satisfying... this one’s a keeper." — Jen Devon, author of Right Where We Left Us In Erin Hahn's cozy, swoony romance, Maren Laughlin has been fishing her whole life, but she’s finally ready to be caught. At thirty-three, Maren Laughlin's just turned down her boyfriend’s proposal, walked away from her decade-long position as a park ranger, and returned to her childhood playground in Northern Wisconsin to accept her inheritance: a decrepit waterfront bait shop. After a lifetime of letting things happen to her, she’s ready to start making her own moves, even if everyone else thinks she’s...
Get ready for your new obsession – meet Lydia and Tom.
Even with the cutthroat days of being Class Mom behind her, as a freshly minted mat mom of the Pioneer Middle School (PMS) wrestling team, Jen Dixon cannot catch a break. This year, as her son joins the ranks of the PMS wrestlers, Jen faces mystifying new social dynamics with her trademark combination of reluctance and resigned acceptance. The sights and smells of her son’s wrestling matches are more than enough for her to deal with, but Jen also finds herself fully immersed in sports-mom competitiveness. These parents all seem perfectly unassuming until their kids start to wrestle, and then some become raging momsters. Jen steels herself for the indignities of middle school life, but she cannot quite fathom the extents to which some kids (and moms) will go for the sweet taste of victory. Add to this some truly bizarre encounters with students from her spin class and deeper challenges managing her parents, and Jen has more gum than she can chew...and even her riotously funny one-liners might not get her through it this time.

A fresh, joyful YA novel that is layered with themes of immigration, cultural identity, and finding your voice in any language. Sixteen-year-old Ana is a poet and a lover of language. Except that since she moved to New Jersey from Argentina, she can barely find the words to express how she feels. At first Ana just wants to return home. Then she meets Harrison, the very cute, very American boy in her math class, and discovers the universal language of racing hearts. But when she begins to spend time with Neo, the Greek Cypriot boy from ESL, Ana wonders how figuring out what her heart wants can be even more confusing than the grammar they’re both trying to master. After all, the rules of English may be confounding, but there are no rules when it comes to love. With playful and poetic breakouts exploring the idiosyncrasies of the English language, Love in English is witty and effervescent, while telling a beautifully observed story about what it means to become “American.”
Mete en una coctelera risas, desahogo, confidencias y evasión y agita con fuerza. ¡Esta novela es mejor que una noche de gin-tonics con tus amigas! Madres, trabajadoras, esposas, amigas y amantes... pero ¿para cuándo NOSOTRAS? Calpurnia Pearson adora a su familia, pero hay momentos en que le gustaría dejar de ser madre y esposa y ser simplemente ella: Nia. A sus treinta y cinco años, se siente enclaustrada en la rutina por las responsabilidades de la vida adulta. También le frustra que sus esfuerzos por ascender en la editorial donde trabaja no se ven recompensados, ya que sigue en el mismo puesto desde hace años y parece que nada va a cambiar. Sin embargo se equivoca. Uno de sus jefes se jubila y lo substituye Oliver, un joven atractivo que enseguida valora su talento y con el que se verá atrapada en una situación impensable; lo que podría llevar a Nia a reconciliarse con la vida. O todo lo contrario... Las lectoras lo tienen claro. Les gusta leer a Cristina Vatra: «Reirás, llorarás, te enamorarás y querrás vivir a tope». «Imprescindible leerla». «Te sientes muy identificada». «Brillante». La crítica ha dicho sobre Llámame Nia:
