For seventeen-year-old Maya, the equation for happiness is simple: a dream internship at MIT + two new science nerd friends + a perfect boyfriend = one amazing summer. Then Whit dumps her out of the blue. Maya is miserable until she discovers that her scientist mother, before she died, was conducting research on manipulating pheromones to enhance human attraction. If Maya can finish her mother’s work, maybe she can get Whit back. But when her experiment creates chaos in her love life, she realizes that maybe love and loss can’t be understood using the scientific method. Can she learn to trust the unmeasurables of love and attraction instead?

Download or read book Last Summer written by Holly Chamberlin and published by Kensington Books . This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A thoughtful social commentary and tender narration of friendship and loyalty” from the bestselling author of A Wedding on the Beach (Publishers Weekly). The town of Yorktide, close to Maine’s beautiful beaches and the city of Portland, seems like the perfect place to raise a family. For Jane Patterson, there’s another advantage: her best friend, Frannie Giroux, lives next door, and their teenaged daughters, Rosie and Meg, are inseparable. But in the girls’ freshman year of high school, everything changes. Rosie—quiet, shy, and also very pretty—attracts the sneers and slights of a clique of older girls. Over time, the bullying worsens. When Meg betrays their friendship, fearful that she too will be targeted, Rosie suffers an emotional breakdown. Blaming both Meg and Frannie, Jane tries to help Rosie heal while dealing with her own guilt and anger. In the months that follow, each struggles with the ideas of forgiveness and compassion, of knowing when a friendship is shattered beyond repair—and when hope can be salvaged, one small moment at a time… Praise for Holly Chamberlin “Nostalgia over real-life friendships lost and regained pulls readers into the story.”—USA Today on Summer Friends “A great summer read but with substance. It will find a wide audience in its exploration of sisterhood, family, and loss.”—Library Journal on Summer with My Sisters “A dramatic and moving portrait of several generations of a family and each person’s place within it.”—Booklist on The Family Beach House
Book Synopsis Last Summer in the City by : Gianfranco Calligarich
Download or read book Last Summer in the City written by Gianfranco Calligarich and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first novel from award-winning author Gianfranco Calligarich to be published in English, Last Summer in the City is a witty and despairing classic of Italian literature. Biting, tragic, and endlessly quotable, this translated edition features an introductory appreciation from longtime fan New York Times bestselling author André Aciman. In a city smothering under the summer sun and an overdose of la dolce vita, Leo Gazarra spends his time in an alcoholic haze, bouncing between run-down hotels and the homes of his rich and well-educated friends, without whom he would probably starve. At thirty, he’s still drifting: between jobs that mean nothing to him, between human relationships both ephemeral and frayed. Everyone he knows wants to graduate, get married, get rich—but not him. He has no ambitions whatsoever. Rather than toil and spin, isn’t it better to submit to the alienation of the Eternal City, Rome, sometimes a cruel and indifferent mistress, sometimes sweet and sublime? There can be no half measures with her, either she’s the love of your life or you have to leave her. First discovered by Natalia Ginzburg, Last Summer in the City is a forgotten classic of Italian literature, a great novel of a stature similar to that of The Great Gatsby or The Catcher in the Rye. Gianfranco Calligarich’s enduring masterpiece has drawn comparisons to such writers as Truman Capote, Ernest Hemingway, and Jonathan Franzen and is here made available in English for the first time.

From flip-flops and hide-and-seek to fireworks and ice-cream trucks, from lemonade stands and late bedtimes to swimming in the lake and toasting marshmallows, there’s something for everyone in this bright and buoyant celebration of the sunny season. Tom Brenner’s lovely, lyrical ode to summers spent outdoors will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever counted down the days until school gets out, and Jaime Kim’s jubilant, nostalgia-soaked illustrations leave little doubt that summer is indeed a time unlike any other.
Download or read book Inetogether written by Mark DeLong and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of essays includes widely read pieces depicting a garden and gardener in Rougemont, North Carolina, in the larger context of life in the twenty-first century and wide-ranging book reviews that are "less evaluative and more plainly thoughtful." A major essay, "Genomes and Words," relates the emergence of genome sciences with a much older, and now rather quaint, "science" -- philology.This book is (as one person put it) "an intersection of ideas and Rougemont" which, perhaps, humbles ideas and elevates the little hamlet that is Rougemont. But often ideas made plainer become stronger, and the state-of-mind that is Rougemont is made richer with them.inetogether seeks to find a middle ground for thoughtful people to read and to think in a world that seems to leave little room for either of those.

Book excerpt: The Last Summer is a story of friendships that were born on a baseball field in a small but growing North Carolina town. Swansville once had baseball fever, and over a decade later, a group of twelve-year-old boys reignite the love of baseball for everyone in town. Narrator Carson Smith is nearly thirty-eight years old as he looks back on the magical summer when he was only twelve years old. Carson, or sometimes called Worm, as in bookworm, chronicles his and his teammates’ summer playing Little League Baseball before a new middle school is built on the other side of town. The new middle school will split up the boys, and the town will eventually need to choose sides, but for one last summer, everyone in Swansville cheers for the boys from the brown water of Pisgah Lake. Carson has always lived in the shadow of his twin sister, Whitley, until the summer of 1994, when his all-star baseball team begins to have success. She reluctantly follows the team on their quest to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. New student Wyatt Hartley becomes the missing piece of a talented but flawed Little League all-star team. Drake Duckworth and Darren “Ogre” Winslow happily concede to the new boy in town as he takes the reins of leadership, but Travis Harrison and his dad, Coach Alex, will not let the newcomer take over without a challenge. Wyatt and Carson’s unlikely friendship strengthens each other’s weaknesses as the two boys navigate the final months of the sixth grade and the last summer before becoming teenagers. Their bond stays strong despite the challenges of growing up.
