Él, en cambio, es candidato a Gobernador del Estado de Puebla, y sabe muy bien cuáles son sus objetivos de cacique. A las pocas semanas están casados. Pero Catalina descubre muy pronto que no puede acepta sobre todo vivir sin amor... (Quand elle fait la connaissance du Général Andrés Ascencion, Catalina est une jeune femme qui ignore tout de la vie. Lui, par contre, a posé sa candidature pour devenir Gouverneur de l'état de Pueblas et il compte bien réussir. En quelques semaines, ils sont mariés. Mais Catalina découvre très vite qu'elle ne peut accepter la vie que lui impose ce mariage. Surtout, elle refuse de vivre sans amour car elle est trop passionnée et imaginative pour rester dans l'ombre d'un homme qui ne se préoccupe que de sa carrière politique et qui souhaite avant tout que sa femme se cantonne à ce que son époque lui demande, être jolie et silencieuse.)

The #1 New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist from the bestselling author of Everything, Everything will have you falling in love with Natasha and Daniel as they fall in love with each other! Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store--for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? **

When Penelope O'Shaunessy, "an incoming freshman of average heught and lank hair" steps into Harvard Yard for the first time she has lots of advice from her mother: "Don't be too enthusiastic, don't talk to people who seem to be getting annoyed, and for heaven's sake, stop playing Tetris on your phone at parties." Penelope needs this advice. She is the kind of girl who passes through much of her life with coffee spilled on her white shirt, who can't quite tell when people are joking, and who, inevitably, always says the wrong thing. But no amount of coaching will prepare Penelope for the people she meets at school.
