Madeline Whittier è allergica al mondo. Soffre infatti di una patologia tanto rara quanto nota, che non le permette di entrare in contatto con il mondo esterno. Per questo non esce di casa, non l'ha mai fatto in diciassette anni. Mai un respiro d'aria fresca, né un raggio di sole caldo sul viso. Le uniche persone che può frequentare sono sua madre e la sua infermiera, Carla. Finché, un giorno, un camion di una ditta di traslochi si ferma nella sua via. Madeline è alla finestra quando vede... lui. Il nuovo vicino. Alto, magro e vestito di nero dalla testa ai piedi: maglietta nera, jeans neri, scarpe da ginnastica nere e un berretto nero di maglia che gli nasconde completamente i capelli. Il suo nome è Olly. I loro sguardi si incrociano per un secondo. E anche se nella vita è impossibile prevedere sempre tutto, in quel secondo Madeline prevede che si innamorerà di lui. Anzi, ne è sicura. Come è quasi sicura che sarà un disastro. Perché, per la prima volta, quello che ha non le basta più. E per vivere anche solo un giorno perfetto è pronta a rischiare tutto. Tutto.

The dazzling new novel from Nicola Yoon, the New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store-for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?
Get Out meets The Stepford Wives in #1 New York Times best-selling author Nicola Yoon’s first adult novel • A terrifying and thought-provoking look at what it means to be truly free in America as a woman uncovers a secret about her new home in a utopian community Jasmyn and King Williams move their family to the planned Black utopia of Liberty, California hoping to find a community of like-minded people, a place where their growing family can thrive. King settles in at once, embracing the Liberty ethos, including the luxe wellness center at the top of the hill, which proves to be the heart of the community. But Jasmyn struggles to find her place. She expected to find liberals and social justice activists striving for racial equality, but Liberty residents seem more focused on booking spa treatments and ignoring the world’s troubles. Jasmyn’s only friends in the community are equally perplexed and frustrated by most residents' outlook. Then Jasmyn discovers a terrible secret about Liberty and its founders. Frustration turns to dread as their loved ones start embracing the Liberty way of life. Will the truth destroy her world in ways she never could have imagined? Thrilling with insightful social commentary, One of Our Kind explores the ways in which freedom is complicated by the presumptions we make about ourselves and each other.
