Description

El debut emocionalmente devastador de Andrea Portes en el género juvenil pone al descubierto la inutilidad de fingir ser quienes no somos y el valor de celebrar finalmente lo que somos internamente.

Anika Dragomir es la tercera chica más popular en el colegio Pound. Ella misma sabe cuan diferente es a los demás, no puede dejar de pensar en Logan McDonough, quien llegó el primer día de clases, más sexy, más atrevido y más misterioso que nunca. Logan es fascinante, problemático y está fuera de su alcance.

La reina del colegio le hará la vida imposible a Anika si los ve juntos. Por lo que Anika debe escoger, ¿ignorar sus sentimientos y mantener su posición social? O, ¿obedecer a su corazón y correr el riesgo de ser excluída? ¿Qué elegirá? Y ¿que pensará de su decisión cuando llegue una tragedia inimaginable que la cambiará para siempre?

Una voz totalmente original en el género juvenil en una historia que generará muchas conversaciones y te llegará al corazón.

In this Mean Girls meets The Perks of Being a Wallflower tale, narrator Anika Dragomir is the third-most-popular girl at Pound High School. But inside, she knows she’s a freak; she can’t stop thinking about former loner Logan McDonough, who showed up on the first day of tenth grade hotter, bolder, and more mysterious than ever.
Logan is fascinating, troubled, and off limits. The Pound High queen bee will make Anika’s life hell if she’s seen with him.
So Anika must choose—ignore her feelings and keep her social status? Or follow her heart and risk becoming a pariah. Which will she pick? And what will she think of her choice when an unimaginable tragedy strikes, changing her forever? An absolutely original new voice in YA in a story that will start important conversations—and tear at your heart.
