Laura Steven Książki

Takie książki zmieniają świat. Feministyczna, świeża, inspirująca opowieść o tym, co się dzieje, gdy dziewczyna naprawdę (naprawdę) postanawia być sobą. Izzy jest bohaterką, jakiej nie znacie: odważna, uczciwa, ostra i piekielnie zabawna. Jako młoda, ambitna komiczka i standuperka nie boi się ośmieszenia ani zawstydzenia. Do wszystkiego podchodzi pozytywnie i otwarcie. Tymczasem świat nie jest na nią gotowy. Świat rządzi się podwójnymi standardami, a ośmieszanie i zawstydzanie to jego codzienne narzędzia pracy. Czy Izzy da się złamać? To bardzo istotny głos w literaturze młodzieżowej, ubrany w oryginalne poczucie humoru Laury Steven, autorki książki Zauroczona, zwariowana, zakochana.

Romantyczna komedia o dziewczynie, która stara się odkryć, kim jest. Caro jest niezwykle inteligentna.

Nieustannie wątpi w siebie, więc gdy dowiaduje się o testowanych przez naukowców pigułkach, które sprawiają, że człowiek staje się nieodparcie atrakcyjny dla otoczenia, postanawia je wypróbować. To, co następuje, nie rozwiewa jej wątpliwości. Czy jej długoletnia tajna miłość interesuje się nią z własnej woli, czy to zasługa tabletek? Czy uczucia do jej najlepszej przyjaciółki są efektem ubocznym? A dlaczego jej pies wykazuje do niej nieodpowiedni zainteresowanie?
