      «Tutto quello che si rompe, comprese le persone, si può aggiustare. Ecco come la penso io.» A diciassette anni, Charlotte Davis ha trovato un modo per affrontare il dolore che la attanaglia. Per sfuggire ai ricordi del padre scomparso, della migliore amica che l'ha abbandonata e di una madre che non la comprende, Charlie usa un pezzo di vetro per autolesionismo, trovando un effimero sollievo. Ricoverata in un istituto psichiatrico di St. Paul, Minnesota, incontra altre ragazze, ognuna con il proprio dolore e le proprie paure. In questo microcosmo, si prendono in giro, si raccontano e immaginano un futuro, mentre alcune desiderano uscire e altre preferiscono restare protette. Al momento delle dimissioni, Charlie si sente persa, poiché la madre non la vuole a casa. Si dirige allora in Arizona, dove un amico la aspetta, sperando di ritrovare la gioia e nuovi progetti. Un lavoro in una tavola calda e incontri inaspettati le offrono una nuova linfa vitale, ma il suo entusiasmo si scontra con la realtà. Questo romanzo viscerale e onesto esplora l'adolescenza, il coraggio di rialzarsi dopo le cadute e la ricerca di un nuovo inizio, ricordandoci che, nonostante tutto, c'è sempre una strada da riprendere.

    • 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.
