Deze auteur maakte een veelbelovend debuut met haar eerste roman. Haar stijl kenmerkt zich door een scherpe en emotionele verkenning van thema's als liefde en familie. Yoon weet de innerlijke werelden van haar personages en hun reizen meesterlijk te vangen.
Evie Thomas gelooft niet meer in de liefde. Vooral niet nadat het vreemdste gebeurt op een anders gewone middag: ze ziet een stel kussen en wordt overweldigd door een visioen van hoe hun romance begon... en hoe het zal eindigen. Uiteindelijk eindigen zelfs de grootste liefdesverhalen met een gebroken hart. Terwijl Evie probeert te begrijpen waarom dit gebeurt, belandt ze in La Brea Dance Studio, waar ze leert walsen, foxtrotten en tangoën met een jongen genaamd X. X is alles wat Evie niet is: avontuurlijk, gepassioneerd, gedurfd. Zijn filosofie is om overal ja tegen te zeggen, inclusief het deelnemen aan een ballroomdanswedstrijd met een meisje dat hij net heeft ontmoet. Vallen voor X is zeker niet wat Evie in gedachten had. Als haar visioenen van hartzeer haar iets hebben geleerd, is het dat niemand de liefde ongeschonden verlaat. Maar terwijl zij en X om elkaar heen dansen, wordt Evie gedwongen alles wat ze dacht te weten over het leven en de liefde in twijfel te trekken. Is liefde uiteindelijk het risico waard?
The internationally bestselling love story from Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything. Soon to be a major film starring Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton! 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?

King settles in at once, embracing the Liberty ethos, including the luxe wellness center at the top of the hill, which proves to be the heart of the community. But Jasmyn struggles to find her place. She expected to find liberals and social justice activists striving for racial equality, but Liberty residents seem more focused on booking spa treatments and ignoring the world’s troubles. Jasmyn’s only friends in the community are equally perplexed and frustrated by most residents' outlook. Then Jasmyn discovers a terrible secret about Liberty and its founders. Frustration turns to dread as their loved ones start embracing the Liberty way of life. Will the truth destroy her world in ways she never could have imagined? Thrilling with insightful social commentary, One of Our Kind explores the ways in which freedom is complicated by the presumptions we make about ourselves and each other.

Pero mientras Evie y X bailan y se conocen más, la magia del amor arrasa con todo. Instrucciones para enamorarse es la nueva novela de Nicola Yoon, la autora bestseller de las novelas Todo todo y El sol también es una estrella. Un libro perfecto para amantes del romance, y para fans de Todo este tiempo o Bajo la misma estrella. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this romantic page-turner from the author of Everything, Everything and The Sun is Also a Star, Evie has the power to see other people’s romantic fates—what will happen when she finally sees her own? Evie Thomas doesn't believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually. As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance Studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything--including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he's only just met. Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it's that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?
