Book Description
In this queer Regency romance, three unlikely lovers find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other and entangled in a scandal that could ruin them all. It's Miss Miranda Hartler's first season of eligibility for marriage—and she does want to get married, yes, but not to just anyone. She wants to marry for love, and respect, and romance. So when a chance encounter with a taciturn earl gives the haute society the wrong impression and forces them into an unwilling engagement, it's not an optimal situation for either of them. Lord Marcus, Earl of Cliffshare, has vowed never to marry, since he would never be allowed to settle down with the one person he's ever truly loved: his boyhood friend, Richard. But he can't find it in him to let Miranda's reputation, as well as that of her whole family, be sullied, so he reluctantly agrees to wed her, and writes to let his dear friend know about the surprising development... When the rakish Richard receives word that the love of his life is being forced into marriage, he hurries to intercept the proceedings. But what he finds when he gets there is the biggest surprise yet: not only does Miss Miranda seem like a wonderful fit for Marcus, but Richard finds himself strangely attracted to her, as well, and as the wedding draws near, it soon becomes clear to all of them that their affections are mutual. Can the lady, the earl, and the rake find a way to forge the relationship they want in a society that would frown on their desires?

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
The New York Times bestseller that inspired the Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning film. The funniest book you’ll ever read about death. It is a universally acknowledged truth that high school sucks. But on the first day of his senior year, Greg Gaines thinks he’s figured it out. The answer to the basic existential question: How is it possible to exist in a place that sucks so bad? His strategy: remain at the periphery at all times. Keep an insanely low profile. Make mediocre films with the one person who is even sort of his friend, Earl. This plan works for exactly eight hours. Then Greg’s mom forces him to become friends with a girl who has cancer. This brings about the destruction of Greg’s entire life. “Mr. Andrews’ often hilarious teen dialogue is utterly convincing, and his characters are compelling. Greg’s random sense of humor, terrible self-esteem and general lack of self-awareness all ring true. Like many YA authors, Mr. Andrews blends humor and pathos with true skill, but he steers clear of tricky resolutions and overt life lessons, favoring incremental understanding and growth.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “One need only look at the chapter titles (‘Let’s Just Get This Embarrassing Chapter Out of the Way’) to know that this is one funny book.” —Booklist (starred review) “Though this novel begs inevitable thematic comparisons to John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, it stands on its own in inventiveness, humor and heart.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
