The friendship of two tightly knit New York City couples whose bond isn't quite what it seems threatens to unravel after the publication of a story in a well-known literary magazine that bears a strange resemblance to their real life. This wry, urban novelette blurs the lines between love and lust, loyalty and betrayal, laying bare the power of literature to expose parts of ourselves we may not want to see. Christine Benvenuto oh-so-lightly pokes fun at Manhattan's privileged class, and her observations are all the more biting for their subtlety.

Cameron's Law has made all supernatural creatures legal citizens, and the boy next door has suddenly become the werewolf next door. With Sadie Stanton, vampire and one of the public faces of the legislation, calling the little town of Adelheid, Connecticut, home, it can't help but be a focal point for these once-mythical beings. But when vampires start attacking werewolves without provocation, Adelheid draws the attention of those that would seek to have Cameron's Law repealed and would send the preternaturals back into the shadows they used to hide in, but without the safety of their anonymity and their law.

Carolina, sedici anni, preda di una storia d'amore che non è andata proprio secondo i suoi desideri, non aveva mai pensato a sé stessa come a una drogata. È la sua mamma a insinuare il sospetto, anzi, la certezza: ma sì, è proprio così. La sua mamma, preoccupata per lei a tal punto da mostrarle una sorta di inquietante decalogo di anomalie, un ritaglio di giornale in cui si elencano gli effetti della droga sui ragazzi. Cambio delle abitudini, sbalzi d'umore, isolamento, insofferenza, cambi di orari, scomparsa di oggetti da casa, disturbi del sonno...

A soli 19 anni Adele ha già rinunciato ai sogni. Mentre la sua famiglia va catastroficamente a rotoli, lei si rimbocca le maniche e si barcamena tra due lavori, sforzandosi di mantenere una parvenza di normalità. Per fortuna a colorare le sue giornate c'è Angi, il suo migliore amico, fotografo eclettico e pieno di idee. Il giorno in cui Angi la coinvolge in un originale esperimento sociale, in cui dei perfetti sconosciuti accettano di baciarsi di fronte al suo obiettivo, Adele non può immaginare il terremoto che sta per travolgerla.

Tessa, diciassette anni, ha atteso a lungo il ragazzo perfetto, il momento perfetto, il bacio perfetto. Pensava di avere ancora molto tempo davanti a sé, prima di scoprire che a causa di un difetto cardiaco le restano poche settimane di vita. Stordita, arrabbiata, disperata, aspetta di morire chiusa nella sua stanza. È un'attesa amara, la sua, perché sa di non aver vissuto a pieno. Pensa a sé stessa come a una "ragazza soprammobile", che morirà "vergine e senza patente". Fino a quando non incontra Oskar e tutto sembra di nuovo possibile.

Simon doesn't know where Claire got this delusion from; her daughter's death was ruled a suicide, but she has always blamed herself - is she just lashing out?

Annie Edson Taylor went over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Mabel Stark wrestled with tigers. Sonora Webster Carver plummeted 40 feet on horseback into a tank of water. These and the 11 other women profiled in this audiobook performed between 1880 and 1929, when females were expected to stay home and raise families, not entertain crowds with acts of derring-do. Their bravado, equal to that of any male thrill-seeker, made them inspiring at a time when women were testing the waters of equality and freedom.
