From the New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop and Red, White & Royal Blue comes a debut YA romantic comedy about chasing down what you want, only to find what you need... Chloe Green is so close to winning. After her moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she''s spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and the puritanical administration of Willowgrove Christian Academy. The thing that''s kept her going: winning valedictorian. Her only rival: prom queen Shara Wheeler, the principal''s perfect progeny. But a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and vanishes. On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she''s not the only one Shara kissed. There''s also Smith, Shara''s longtime quarterback sweetheart, and Rory, Shara''s bad boy neighbor with a crush. The three have nothing in common except Shara and the annoyingly cryptic notes she left behind, but together they must untangle Shara''s trail of clues and find her. It''ll be worth it, if Chloe can drag Shara back before graduation to beat her fair and square. Thrown into an unlikely alliance, chasing a ghost through parties, break-ins, puzzles, and secrets revealed on monogrammed stationery, Chloe starts to suspect there might be more to this small town than she thought. And maybe-probably not, but maybe-more to Shara, too. Fierce, funny, and frank, Casey McQuiston''s I Kissed Shara Wheeler is about breaking the rules, getting messy, and finding love in unexpected places. "Raise your hand if you''ve been personally victimized by this funny, weird, razor-sharp, intensely compassionate, subversive, sweet, electrifyingly romantic knockout of a book. Casey freaking McQuiston, you''ve done it again.'' - Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Kate in Waiting and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Que se passerait-il si le fils de la présidente des États-Unis et le prince d'Angleterre devenaient... beaucoup plus que des amis ?
Quand sa mère a été élue présidente des États-Unis, Alex Claremont-Diaz s'est aussitôt retrouvé propulsé au rang de prince de la nation. Charismatique, intelligent, charmeur... son potentiel de séduction auprès des millennials est un atout majeur aux yeux de la Maison-Blanche. Seul problème : Alex est l'ennemi personnel du vrai prince, Henry - celui dont la grand-mère règne de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique. Et, quand la presse met la main sur la photo d'une altercation entre les deux jeunes gens, les relations anglo-américaines s'enveniment... en pleine campagne de la présidente pour sa réélection !
Chefs de famille et chefs d'État - assistés d'une armée de conseillers aux abois - échafaudent à la hâte un stratagème pour réparer cet incident diplomatique : les deux rivaux sont donc contraints de feindre la réconciliation à longueur de mises en scène sur les réseaux sociaux. Mais cette fausse amitié ne tarde pas à se faire plus problématique que tout ce qu'ils auraient pu imaginer. Un secret bien gardé qui, s'il était révélé à la face du monde, pourrait faire dérailler la campagne de la présidente et compromettre l'image soigneusement lisse de la famille royale...
Ils sont ennemis jurés depuis des années... Mais que se passerait-il si le fils de la présidente des États-Unis et le prince d'Angleterre devenaient tout à coup beaucoup plus que des amis ? Cauchemar d'attachés de presse, interrogations, parfois intimes, sur l'identité, la notoriété et l'ouverture d'esprit de l'opinion publique comme du système médiatique... ce roman à la fois brillant, subtil et incandescent vous donnera tout simplement envie de retomber amoureux.
Roman à partir de 16 ans. -
Pour sortir avec la star du lycée, il faut d'abord la retrouver...
Chloe Green n'est plus qu'à un cheveu de la victoire. Forcée par ses deux mères à quitter les plages de sa Californie adorée pour entrer dans un lycée d'élite du fin fond de l'Alabama, elle s'est appliquée, toutes ces années durant, à esquiver les regards curieux de ses camarades et à résister farouchement à l'administration étroite d'esprit de l'établissement. Ce qui l'a fait tenir ? L'espoir de finir major de sa promo. Sa seule rivale ? La fille du principal, Shara Wheeler - la perfection incarnée, reine en titre de l'école.
Mais à un mois de la fin des cours, comme ça, sans prévenir, sa pire ennemie l'embrasse dans un ascenseur avant de se volatiliser pour de bon. Furieuse et troublée, Chloe découvre qu'elle n'est pas la seule à qui on a fait le même coup ou presque : il y a aussi Smith, le quarterback avec qui Shara sortait depuis des années, et Rory, le bad boy du lycée. Les trois adolescents n'ont absolument rien en commun, si ce n'est la disparue et les messages énigmatiques qu'elle a laissés derrière elle.
Chloe en vient à soupçonner que derrière ses apparences si sages, Shara cache des profondeurs insoupçonnées. Commence alors un jeu de piste captivant où il lui faudra briser toutes les règles et se salir les mains pour remporter la partie... Après les succès phénomènes de My Dear F***ing Prince et One Last Stop, Casey McQuiston revient avec une réinterprétation féroce et attachante des romans lycéens à l'américaine sous la forme d'une enquête à la fois drôle et subversive, et d'un romantisme électrisant. -
À vingt-trois ans, August s'installe à New York pour échapper à sa mère, avec qui elle entretient une relation compliquée. Cynique et intentionnellement solitaire, elle tombe malgré elle au beau milieu d'un véritable nid de fou : une colocation joyeuse et extravagante, où discussions et fêtes se succèdent. Mais, sceptique, elle ne se laisse pas vraiment toucher par la ville fascinante et insaisissable qu'elle découvre peu à peu.
Et si ce n'était pas déjà assez déroutant, voilà que par un matin de galère, sur le chemin de la fac, elle fait la rencontre d'une certaine Jane qui n'hésite pas à la sortir d'un mauvais pas. August en reste abasourdie : qui est cette fille belle à tomber qu'elle croise et recroise sans cesse sur sa ligne de métro new-yorkais ? En tout cas, la jeune inconnue au blouson de cuir, à la fois mystérieuse et solaire, n'est pas ce qu'elle prétend... Car, là, sur le mur du légendaire diner où August joue les serveuses pour se faire un peu d'argent, le visage de Jane illumine une photo prise... dans les années 1970 ! Comment expliquer ce prodige ?
Après le succès phénomène de My Dear F***ing Prince, découvrez le nouveau roman né de l'imagination de Casey McQuiston ! L'impossible devient possible dans cette histoire belle et émouvante, pleine de coeur et de dialogues étincelants, où se niche une énigme qui fait écho au mystère même de la ville de New York... -
* Instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestseller * What happens when America''s First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales? When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius-his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There''s only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston''s Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn''t always diplomatic. " Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty, and thrilling. I loved every second." - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a special hardback edition of One Last Stop, with sprayed edges, illustrated endpaper and a bonus chapter!
For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don''t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can''t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there''s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.
But then, there''s this gorgeous girl on the train.
Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August''s day when she needed it most. August''s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there''s one big problem: Jane doesn''t just look like an old school punk rocker. She''s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it''s time to start believing in some things, after all.
Casey McQuiston''s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.
