    Content: Die beiden Schwester Claire und Poppy sind Social-Media-Stars seit ihrer Kindheit. Während Poppy das Leben als Influencerin genießt und von einer eigenen Talkshow träumt, quält sich Claire durch diese Scheinwelt, in der sie sich immer verstellen muss. Sie verabscheut dieses Leben, in das sie gezwungen wird. Als Rafael neu an ihre Schule kommt, ändert sich alles. Denn Rafael besitzt kein Handy und weiß nichts von Claires Ruhm. Bei ihm kann sie einfach ein ganz normales Mädchen sein. Gemeinsam kommen sie einem unvorstellbaren Familiengeheimnis auf die Spur, das Claires Leben für immer verändern wird.- Kara McDowell (zuletzt "One Way or Another", ID-A 29/21) widmet sich in ihrem Jugendbuch einem aktuellen und viel diskutierten Thema. Sie zeigt, dass der Drang nach Likes und Aufmerksamkeit das Leben von jungen Menschen zerstören kann. Als bekannte Influencerin kann Claire nie wirklich sie selbst sein und lernt erst im Laufe des Buches zu sich selbst zu stehen. Der Schreibstil ist flüssig, der Plot spannend und zugleich erschreckend authentisch. Das Cover ist ansprechend gestaltet. Gerne breit empfohlen.

    Content: "The average person makes 35,000 decisions every single day. That's about 34,999 too many for Paige Collins, who lives in debilitating fear of making the wrong choice. The simple act of picking an art elective is enough to send her into a spiral of what-ifs. What if she's destined to be a famous ceramicist but wastes her talent in drama club? What if there's a carbon monoxide leak in the ceramics studio and everyone drops dead? (Grim, but possible!) That's why when Paige is presented with two last-minute options for Christmas vacation, she's paralyzed by indecision. Should she go with her best friend (and longtime crush) Fitz to his family's romantic mountain cabin? Or should she accompany her mom to New York, a city Paige has spent her whole life dreaming about? Just when it seems like Paige will crack from the pressure of choosing, fate steps in — in the form of a slippery grocery store floor — and Paige's life splits into two very different parallel paths. One path leads to New York where Paige falls for the city . and the charms of her unexpected tour guide. The other leads to the mountains where Paige might finally get her chance with Fitz . until her anxiety threatens to ruin everything. However, before Paige gets her happy ending in either destiny, she'll have to face the truth about her struggle with anxiety — and learn that you don't have to be perfect to deserve true love."

She imagines grand adventures that take her away from her small Arizona town. But Paige is unable to make decisions, large and small, leading to meltdowns as she minutely examines each new possibility. Luckily, she has great friends: Clover, who introduces her to the 8-ball app, which takes decision-making out of her hands by creating random choices,and Fitz, who guides her through the meltdowns. She is also madly in love with Fitz. Unfortunately, Fitz bounces from girl to girl, confirming that Paige has been relegated to best friend status. When opportunity knocks, providing Paige a choice of a holiday trip to New York with her mom or a visit to Fitz's family vacation home, she is stunned again by indecision. In one swift moment however, she slips on a wet floor, hitting her head, and suddenly the two possible scenarios play out.

Arizonian Paige Collins struggles with making decisions because the voice in her head always thinks of the worst-case scenario. With Christmas just around the corner, she has to choose between a snowy mountain cabin getaway with her best friend, Fitz, or a trip to New York City with her mom. Paige is in love with Fitz, but she's also an aspiring travel writer, making each option enticing and terrifying. Just after using a magic eight ball app to make the decision for her, a slippery fall leads to split timelines exploring both options, taking a cue from Sliding Doors. Rom-com-loving, grand-gesture-making Fitz is single for once, so at the cabin Paige finally has the opportunity to share her feelings. In New York, she develops a crush on surly, philosophy-quoting Harrison. However, in both situations, her untreated anxiety threatens to ruin any chance of romance and a happy holiday. Paige's narration is endearing and authentic, negative thoughts and all. Her descriptions of anxiety and panic are spot-on, and she often uses grounding techniques to help her. Cliffhanger chapter endings maintain a brisk pace between each timeline all the way to the uplifting, hopeful ending. Both settings are filled with enchanting, romantic Christmas-related activities.

    Content: " An American teen stranded in London is forced to team up with the British crown prince if she wants to make it back home before the end of the world in this delightfully rompy high-stakes rom-com. Wren Wheeler has flown five thousand miles across the ocean to discover she's the worst kind of traveler: the kind who just wants to go home. Her senior-year trip to London was supposed to be life-changing, but by the last day, Wren's perfectly-planned itinerary is in tatters. There's only one item left to check off: breakfast at The World's End restaurant. The one thing she can still get right. The restaurant is closed for renovations8212 of course8212 but there's a boy there, too. A very cute boy with a posh British accent who looks remarkably like the errant Prince Theo, on the run from the palace and his controlling mother. When Wren helps him escape a pack of tourists, the Prince scribbles down his number and offers her one favor in return. She doesn't plan to take him up on it8212 until she gets to the airport and sees cancelled flights and chaos. A comet is approaching Earth, and the world is ending in eight days. Suddenly, that favor could be her only chance to get home to her family before the end of the world. Wren strikes a bargain with the runaway prince: if she'll be his bodyguard from London to his family's compound in Santorini, he can charter her a private jet home in time to say goodbye. Traveling through Europe by boat, train, and accidentally stolen automobile, Wren finds herself drawn to the dryly sarcastic, surprisingly vulnerable Theo. But the Prince has his own agenda, one that could derail both their plans. When life as they know it will be over in days, is it possible to find a happy ending? "
    Content: Biographisches: "Kara McDowell is the author of The Prince & The Apocalypse , One Way or Another , This Might Get Awkward , and Just for Clicks . She lives with her husband and a trio of rowdy boys in Mesa, Arizona, where she divides her time between writing, baking, and wishing for rain."

Kara McDowell excels at crafting comedic moments, lovable characters, and life-or-death tension. A royally perfect romp!"

Eighteen-year-old Wren Wheeler did not expect to spend half of her senior-year trip to London sick with a stomach bug, nor did she anticipate that her best friend Naomi would want no part of Wren’s meticulously curated itinerary. But that’s not going to keep Wren from enjoying her last day in London—until she finds her final stop closed, and her class leaves for their flight home to Chicago without her. The only bright spot is meeting ruggedly handsome Theo, the on-the-lam prince of Wales. When they learn that a 14-mile-wide comet will strike Earth in eight days, Wren and Theo try making their way to Greece, where his family has a private plane. Though canceled flights, panicked citizens, and relentless paparazzi plague their journey, Wren finds herself falling for Theo and learning to embrace life’s unpredictability. The duo’s magnetic chemistry and wry banter work levity into a would-be dire situation, culminating in a cavorting, globe-trotting jaunt. Characters read as white. Ages 13–up.

Eighteen-year-old Wren's senior trip to London has derailed from her carefully planned itinerary, starting with a stomach virus. Then she crosses paths with Prince Theo, heir to the British throne, and helps him escape the paparazzi-and kisses him. When she later finds out the world will end in eight days due to a massive comet crashing into Earth, she calls him, hoping he can help her get home to Chicago. Theo, on the run from the palace, promises to get her home if she accompanies him to Santorini where his family has a home and plane. So begins a romp of a trip through Europe dodging passport control, hopping trains, stealing a car, rescuing a dog, and more-all while everyone is on the lookout for the rogue prince to get the reward his mother, the Queen, has promised for finding him. Wren and Theo get closer with every passing day (each chapter begins with a countdown to the comet strike), and everything seems plausible in the chaos of the end of the world. While mostly light with fun banter, the narrative, told from Wren's perspective, hits on real issues of grief and impending loss. Theo, who lives with untreated clinical depression, has disdain for his privileged life and struggles with the expectations of his mother. Wren and Theo are white,Theo's best friend, Will, has a boyfriend. VERDICT Readers who like a dose of adventure with their romance will devour this page-turner (and hope for a sequel).

    Content: " Sophie Kinsella meets Sarah Dessen in the most hilarious, romantic book of the summer about a girl with social anxiety and the boy who refuses to let her hide herself away. Seventeen-year-old Gemma's favorite kind of beach is an empty one. Social interactions are too much for her to handle. She always says the wrong thing8212 if she manages to say anything at all. She can't even bring herself to speak to her longtime crush, Beau Booker, without losing sleep over her own awkwardness.During a solo outing to her favorite beach, Gemma realizes8212 to her horror8212 that the popular kids from school have shown up to throw a party. Before she can sneak away (and possibly puke behind her car) Gemma is pulled into the action and ends up talking to Beau, who asks her to pretend that they're close. Gemma is too flustered and flattered to refuse, and mostly, she's wondering why Beau is talking to her at all . right up until the moment when he falls off the boat, hits his head, and ends up in a coma.After rescuing Beau from the water, Gemma is mistaken for Beau's girlfriend by his friends and family, including his mysterious older brother, Griff, who has returned to town after a year away. Gemma tries to correct the record, but her social anxiety (and a nosy reporter) gets in the way at every turn. Before she knows it, she's in too deep to backtrack. And when Beau's warm, boisterous family pulls Gemma into their orbit, she realizes how much she wants to keep them in her life.For the first time, Gemma has everything she's ever wanted: friends, big family dinners, and Griff8212 a boy who she can be herself around. But how can she embrace her new dream life when everything is built on a lie? "
    Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: January 15, 2022 After falling into a fake relationship with her crush while he's in a coma, Gemma starts falling for his brooding brother. Socially awkward Gemma Wells lives near the Arizona-Utah border where her father runs boat tours of Lake Powell. She finds herself in the middle of the summer's wildest drama when she rescues high school hottie Beau Booker from drowning during a boating accident. Beau lands in a medically induced coma, and when a nurse mistakes Gemma for his girlfriend, the story takes on a life of its own. Too nervous to tell the truth, Gemma hopes for a potential real relationship with the boy of her dreams. Beau's hospital stint forces Griff, his mysterious older brother, to return to town, and when he strikes up a friendship with Gemma, she wonders if she's falling for him instead. Griff and Gemma's growing relationship will have readers flying through pages, desperate to uncover what will happen when Beau eventually wakes up. Beyond the romance, McDowell shines a spotlight on mental health: Gemma's social anxiety disorder is displayed in both her social interactions and inner emotional workings, and her friend Sof�a opens up about her struggle with depression. While Gemma and Griff's interactions and growing closeness are compelling and fully drawn, many of the side characters unfortunately fall flat. Main characters are presumed White,Sof�a is cued as Latinx. Hits the mark as a page-turning romance. (Romance. 12-17) COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

She feels entirely relaxed on an empty lakeside beach, until a crowd of classmates arrives to party. When Beau Booker, a popular guy and her longtime secret crush, suddenly asks her for a favor, Pretend that we're close. That you like me, she's baffled but willing. Within minutes, a boating accident leaves Beau unconscious and nearly drowned, while Gemma, who saved his life, is meeting his family and friends, who all assume that she's his new girlfriend. Over the weeks that follow, she tries to conquer her anxieties with the help of Griff, Beau's older brother, whose bad-boy reputation contrasts with Beau's more positive image. McDowell uses the settings (Lake Powell and nearby Page, Arizona) effectively within a first-person narrative written with wit and irony. Hampered by insecurities, Gemma makes plenty of mistakes as she struggles to recognize what she wants and how to achieve it, but readers will have no doubts about where her heart lies. An engaging romance with a satisfying conclusion. COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. "
