There's always that one boy. The one who's so off limits that even thinking about him makes you feel guilty.For me, that boy is Nashville Wilde. More tempting than the perfect iced latte after a ten-day caffeine detox, he's gorgeous-of course-but he's also really sweet, funny, and he seems to see me . . . the scholarship kid who's invisible to everyone else. And if the only problem was that he was way out of my league, a literal movie star whose picture is plastered across the walls of girls around the world, not to mention king of the ultra-elite boarding school I'm only attending because I can kick a soccer ball into a goal? I might have still shot my shot. If only the obstacles were that simple. Because the biggest hurdle of all is the beautiful, kind, lovely, hilarious London-the girl I love like a sister. She's the one who's been there for me since the moment I stepped onto this campus, the one who's had my back no matter what came my way, my very best friend in the whole wide world. But London is Nash's sister. And her biggest insecurity is that girls only befriend her to date her brother. It's happened before. And I won't let it happen again. I can't do it. So never would I ever kiss my best friend's movie star brother. This book was previously published under the title, The Kissing Game.

Jill and Justin fell in love at first sight. That Jill was a white, 27-year-old single mother and Justin, 24, was black, didn't matter to either of them - or to Jill's 8-year-old daughter, Cayani. But it did matter to some. What could have been a story of happily ever after takes a tragic turn when Jill is killed in an automobile accident, only days after she and Justin decide to get married. Cayani has no grandparents or other relatives to take care of her. She has only Justin - and he has only her. How societal norms in general, and the pall of racism in particular impact Justin and Cayani as they try to build a life together is the focus of this penetrating novel about family, loss, and sacrifice, but most of all, love. Justin's quest to adopt Cayani is the backdrop as the two of them fight to become a family. Justin had no idea how to raise a child by himself, let alone a white child who was so close to him in age. How he had to reconceive his racial attitudes all the while helping Cayani adjust to a new life, while keeping her racial identity, is uplifting and inspiring as we all try to find our place in a world that often tries to keep us apart. The love that binds Justin and Cayani is unshakeable and undeniable, but is that going to be enough?

Si prenda un ragazzo quattordicenne, con l'occhio vispo, il pensiero rapido e una grande abilità nel cavarsela anche nelle situazioni più imbarazzanti. Amalgamate bene e dopo qualche anno si otterrà un miscuglio tra fantasia, intuizione e velocità di attuazione: uno strano intreccio tra un attore nato, un "imbranato" e un genialoide (forse). Questo "uragano" è Gianfranco, il protagonista, proveniente dalla cosiddetta gioventù del "cazzeggio", come si direbbe oggi, o degli "scioperati" come si soleva dire ai suoi tempi. Con l'età e con le vicissitudini della vita è molto migliorato anche se un velo d'indolenza è ancora insito nei suoi neuroni. Una formula magica, questa, che gli ha attirato personaggi femminili di ogni carattere e personalità, come un'invisibile calamita, una forza elettromagnetica che l'ha trascinato verso circostanze e avvenimenti al limite della credibilità. In ognuno dei capitoli che compongono il libro sono raccontati gli episodi che hanno segnato la vita di Gianfranco: dalla spensieratezza al primo innamoramento, dal primo bacio alla "prima volta". I racconti sono "dedicati" ad alcune delle ragazze (dai 14 ai 40 anni) che hanno caratterizzato la sua vita in sequenza temporale, dalla prima esperienza dell'adolescenza a quelle in età matura. L'aggiunta di alcune pagine a corollario, articolate attorno ad "avventure" fuori dall'ordinario, integrano il testo. La narrazione non si è chiusa con l'ultima vicenda ma potrebbe benissimo essere implementata con altre protagoniste e protagonisti. Potrebbe avere un "seguito", anzi, l'ho già scritto.
