Molly Barlow ha fatto uno sbaglio, e il suo nome è Gabe. Pur di allontanarsene, Molly ha lasciato la sua città, Star Lake, e ha detto addio al suo mondo. Ma non poteva stare via per sempre. E quando, dopo aver passato l'ultimo anno di scuola lontano da casa, torna per l'estate, è evidente che nessuno ha dimenticato quello che è successo. Il comitato di benvenuto non lascia speranze: la sera stessa del suo rientro, Molly viene accolta da un lancio di uova contro casa, la sua migliore amica non vuole avere nulla a che fare con lei, e i suoi amici la evitano. Senza contare Julia Donnelly, la sorella dei due ragazzi a cui Molly ha spezzato il cuore. Con lei... è guerra aperta. Molly vorrebbe scomparire. Per fortuna mancano solo 99 giorni alla sua partenza per il college. Allora sì che potrà gettarsi il passato alle spalle e ricominciare davvero tutto daccapo. Le cose però non sono mai semplici e, nonostante Molly faccia del suo meglio per nascondersi, Star Lake è troppo piccola per pensare di passarvi inosservata, o per non imbattersi ancora nei fratelli Donnelly. 99 giorni. Solo 99 giorni per affrontare le conseguenze delle proprie azioni, correggere gli errori e scoprire sulla propria pelle che ci sono dolori difficili da superare e scelte impossibili da fare.

From Katie Cotugno and author of Sex and the City Candace Bushnell comes this fierce and feisty exploration of feminism: standing up, speaking out and rewriting the rules. Don't be easy. Don't give it up. Don't be a prude. Don't be cold. Don't put him in the friendzone. Don't act desperate. Don't let things go too far. Don't give him the wrong idea. Don't blame him for trying. Don't walk alone at night. But calm down! Don't worry so much. Smile! Marin is a smart, driven, popular girl - she's headed for Brown when she graduates and has a brilliant career as a journalist ahead of her. Especially in the eyes of English teacher Mr Beckett. He spends a lot of time around Marin, and she thinks it's harmless . . . until he kisses her. No one believes Marin when she tells them what happened, so she does the only thing she can: she writes an article called 'Rules for Being a Girl' for the school paper to point out the misogyny and sexism that girls face every day. As things heat up at school and in her personal life, Marin must figure out how to take back the power and rewrite her own rules.

"Former child actor Fiona St. James dropped out of the spotlight after a spectacularly public crash and burn. The tabloids called her crazy and self-destructive and said she'd lost her mind. Now in her late twenties, Fiona believes her humiliating past is firmly behind her. She's finally regained a modicum of privacy, and she won't let anything, or anyone, mess it up. Unlike Fiona, Sam Fox, who played her older brother on the popular television show Birds of California, loves the perks that come with being a successful Hollywood actor: fame, women, parties, money. When his current show gets cancelled and his agent starts to avoid his calls, the desperate actor enthusiastically signs on for a Birds of California revival. But to make it happen, he needs Fiona St. James. Against her better judgment, Fiona agrees to have lunch with Sam. What happens next takes them both by surprise. Sam is enthralled by Fiona's take-no-prisoners attitude, and Fiona discovers a lovable goofball behind Sam's close-up-ready face. But just like in the rom-coms Fiona despises, there's a twist that threatens her new love. Sam doesn't know the full story behind her breakdown. What happens when she reveals the truth?"
