Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love. Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She's a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart - she's in New York City, and he's in their small hometown - but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since. Poppy has everything she should want, but she's stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together--lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
Tereza Libichová Livres
Augustus Everett est un auteur reconnu de romans classiques, tandis que January Andrews écrit des histoires romantiques qui se terminent toujours par un happy end. January, en deuil de son père, arrive dans une maison héritée au bord du lac Michigan, où elle retrouve Gus, un ancien camarade de classe avec qui elle a toujours rivalisé. Ils découvrent rapidement qu'ils partagent plus que leur passé commun : tous deux luttent pour terminer leur livre. Un soir, ils concluent un pari inattendu pour sortir de leur impasse créative : Augustus passera l'été à écrire une histoire avec une fin heureuse, tandis que January tentera de rédiger un grand roman américain. Pour l'inspirer, elle l'emmène dans des lieux empreints de romantisme, tandis qu'il l'accompagne à la rencontre de survivants d'un culte suicidaire. Leur plan est de terminer leurs livres sans tomber amoureux l'un de l'autre. Vraiment.
