Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university, and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life.

Eleanor is the new girl in town, and she's never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes, mad red hair and chaotic home life, she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet, careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool, Park's worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by. Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes, Eleanor and Park fall in love. They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you're 16, and you have nothing and everything to lose.

En su primera colección de cuentos, Rainbow nos regala nueve historias de amor bellamente narradas. Una chica conoce a un chico acampando fuera de un cine. Mejores amigos discuten sobre los méritos de los bailes escolares. Un príncipe enamora a una troll. Una chica enamora a un chico imaginario. Y el mismísimo Simon Snow regresa para una aventura navideña. Este es un festín de personajes irresistibles, diálogos hilarantes y una narrativa espectacular. En resumen, todo aquello que se esperaría de un libro de Rainbow Rowell.

In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward.

Året er 1986. Stedet Omaha, Nebraska. 16-årige Eleanor er netop flyttet til byen med sin mor og søskende - og sin utilregnelige stedfar. Hun føler sig småtyk og forkert, og da hun stiger ind i skolebussen på sin første skoledag, falder hun omgående udenfor med sit ildrøde hår og sine bukser, der holdes sammen med sikkerhedsnåle. Der er kun én ledig plads. Ved siden af Park. Smukke og cool Park. Som også er udenfor, om end på sin egen måde. Næste dag er pladsen ved siden af Park ledig igen.

Cuando crecía en el lado equivocado de Omaha, Shiloh sólo pensaba en escapar, en dejar todo atrás e iniciar una etapa más interesante en su vida. En aquel entonces al menos tenía a Cary: Cary la soportaba, Cary la hacía reír, aunque a los dieciséis,conduciendo la vieja camioneta de su mamá, Cary tenía las cosas peor que ella. Sólo su amistad logró que sobreviviera a la preparatoria… pero cuando ella se fue a la universidad, él se incorporó a la Marina.

They were just friends. Best friends. Allies. They spent entire summers sitting on Shiloh’s porch steps, dreaming about the future. They were both going to get out of north Omaha—Shiloh would go to go to college and become an actress, and Cary would join the Navy. They promised each other that their friendship would never change. Well, Shiloh did go to college, and Cary did join the Navy. And yet, somehow, everything changed.

In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages–and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz?

Beth and Jennifer know their company monitors their office email. But the women still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers at the newspaper and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period. When Lincoln applied to be an internet security officer, he hardly imagined he'd be sifting through other people's inboxes like some sort of electronic Peeping Tom.

Zwei gegen den Rest der Welt... Sie sind zwei völlig verschiedene Außenseiter: Eleanor ist dick, hat wirre rote Locken und trägt weite Herren-T-Shirts. Park ist gutaussehend, zurückhaltend, Halb-Koreaner. Nur notgedrungen macht er im Schulbus für sie den Platz neben sich frei, liest seine Comics oder hört Musik. Eleanor ist froh, nur ignoriert statt gemobbt zu werden. Sie kommt aus einer desolaten Familie, Park aus einer gutbürgerlichen.

Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble - that it's been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and he still loves her - but that almost seems besides the point now. Two days before they're supposed to visit Neal's family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells him that she can't go. She's a TV writer, and something's come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her - he is always a little upset with her - but she doesn't expect to him to pack up the kids and go home without her.

Simon Snow er den absolut værste udvalgte, der nogensinde er blevet udvalgt. Det siger hans roommate Baz i hvert fald. Og det kan godt være, at Baz er en ondsindet vampyr, men han har jo ret! Halvdelen af tiden kan Simon ikke engang få sin tryllestav til at fungere - eller også sætter han ild til ting og sager. Hans mentor gør alt for at undgå ham, hans kæreste har slået op med ham, og der er et magi-ædende monster, som går rundt med Simons ansigt på. Baz ville have nydt alt dette, hvis han altså havde været her. Det er starten på deres sidste skoleår på Watford School of Magicks, og så har Simons plageånd ikke engang besværet sig med at dukke op.

Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen. That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right. Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor's avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon's face.

Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it's been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply-but that almost seems beside the point now. Maybe that was always beside the point. Two days before they're supposed to visit Neal's family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can't go. She's a TV writer, and something's come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles.

Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he'll be safe. Simon can't even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can't stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you're the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything.

The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after. So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light. That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost.
