Kelly Quindlen

    Deze auteur, wiens creatieve begin teruggaat tot het schrijven in haar vroege jeugd, verdiept zich in de verkenning van complexe menselijke relaties en de zoektocht naar identiteit. Haar werken, die vaak als traditionele verhalen beginnen, duiken in de diepten van persoonlijke reizen en onthullen universele thema's als liefde, verlies en de zoektocht naar iemands plaats in de wereld. Hoewel haar vroege werk verscheen bij traditionele uitgevers, heeft ze ook vooruitziendheid getoond op het gebied van onafhankelijke publicatie, wat haar vermogen bewijst om diverse doelgroepen te bereiken. Opgeleid in Engelse literatuur en Amerikaanse studies, brengt ze intellectuele diepgang en een empathisch perspectief in haar schrijven, verrijkt door ervaringen in het onderwijs en gemeenschapswerk voor non-profitorganisaties.

    She drives me crazy
    Her Name in the Sky
    • Hannah wants to spend her senior year of high school going to football games and Mardi Gras parties with her tight-knit group of friends. The last thing she wants is to fall in love with a girl--especially when that girl is her best friend, Baker. Hannah knows she should like Wally, the kind, earnest boy who asks her to prom. She should cheer on her friend Clay when he asks Baker to be his girlfriend. She should follow the rules of her conservative Louisiana community--the rules that have been ingrained in her since she was a child.But Hannah longs to be with Baker, who cooks macaroni and cheese with Hannah late at night, who believes in the magic of books as much as Hannah does, and who challenges Hannah to be the best version of herself. And Baker might want to be with Hannah, too--if both girls can embrace that world-shaking, yet wondrous, possibility.

      From author Kelly Quindlen comes a poignant and deeply relatable story about friendship, self-acceptance, and what it means to be a Real Teenager. Late to the Party is an ode to late bloomers and wallflowers everywhere. Seventeen is nothing like Codi Teller imagined. She’s never crashed a party, never stayed out too late. She’s never even been kissed. And it’s not just because she’s gay. It’s because she and her two best friends, Maritza and JaKory, spend more time in her basement watching Netflix than engaging with the outside world. So when Maritza and JaKory suggest crashing a party, Codi is highly skeptical. Those parties aren’t for kids like them. They’re for cool kids. Straight kids. But then Codi stumbles upon one of those cool kids, Ricky, kissing another boy in the dark, and an unexpected friendship is formed. In return for never talking about that kiss, Ricky takes Codi under his wing and draws her into a wild summer filled with late nights, new experiences, and one really cute girl named Lydia. The only problem? Codi never tells Maritza or JaKory about any of it.
