Here's to Us
Autor Becky Albertalli, Adam Silveraen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2024 – vârsta ani
În paginile acestui roman, tinerii cititori vor experimenta emoția regăsirii și dilemele maturizării, explorând întrebarea universală: este universul cel care ne dictează destinul sau noi suntem arhitecții propriilor șanse? Observăm cum Here's To Us reușește să surprindă acea stare de incertitudine specifică vârstei de 18-20 de ani, când planurile de viitor se ciocnesc inevitabil cu nostalgia trecutului. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Adam Silvera și Becky Albertalli construiesc o narațiune despre a doua șansă, plasându-i pe Arthur și Ben într-un New York vibrant, la doi ani după evenimentele din primul volum. Dacă în What If It's Us de Adam Silvera am asistat la scânteia primei întâlniri, aici explorăm o temă actuală și complexă: cum te schimbi ca persoană în timp ce încerci să păstrezi legătura cu cineva care a însemnat totul pentru tine. Stilul este cald și autentic, păstrând vocile distincte ale personajelor, chiar dacă acestea au crescut. Spre deosebire de tonul melancolic și tragic din They Both Die at the End, această colaborare oferă o perspectivă plină de speranță și umor, fiind o celebrare a prieteniei și a noilor începuturi. Este o lectură care echilibrează perfect momentele de vulnerabilitate cu optimismul specific literaturii young adult contemporane.

De ce să citești această carte
Recomandăm această carte adolescenților și tinerilor adulți care caută o poveste onestă despre complexitatea relațiilor moderne. Cititorul va câștiga o perspectivă matură asupra ideii de „suflet pereche”, învățând că dragostea necesită adesea curajul de a acționa, nu doar credința în destin. Este cadoul ideal pentru fanii genului care doresc să vadă cum personajele lor preferate evoluează dincolo de finalul clasic al unei prime iubiri.
Despre autor
Adam Silvera, născut în 1990 în New York, este o voce definitorie a literaturii contemporane pentru tineri, cunoscut pentru bestsellerul internațional They Both Die at the End. Stilul său se remarcă prin explorarea profundă a emoțiilor și a pierderii. În Here's To Us, el colaborează din nou cu Becky Albertalli, autoarea celebrului Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, combinând realismul său emoțional cu sensibilitatea și umorul caracteristic lui Albertalli pentru a crea o poveste despre maturizare și identitate.
Descriere scurtă
Ben survived freshman year of college, but he’s feeling more stuck than ever. His classes are a slog, his part-time job working with his father is even worse, and his best friend Dylan’s been acting weird for weeks. Ben’s only real bright spot is his writing partner Mario, who’s been giving him a lot of Spanish lessons and even more kisses. Mario’s big Hollywood dreams make Ben start to dream bigger—and the choices he makes now could be the key to reshaping his future. So why can’t he stop thinking about a certain boy from his past?
Arthur is back in New York City for the first time in two years, ready to take the theater world by a storm as the world’s best . . . intern to the assistant of an off-off-Broadway director. Of course, it sucks to be spending the summer apart from his sweet, reliable boyfriend, Mikey, but he knows their relationship is strong enough to weather the distance. Which is why it’s no big deal when his ex-boyfriend Ben stumbles back into the picture. And it’s definitely fine that Ben’s blissfully happy with some mystery boy. First loves are special, but it’s way too late for what-ifs. Right?
Even as the boys try to shake off the past, they keep running into each other in the present. Is this the universe trying to tell them there’s a do-over in their future?
Here's to Us is sure to be welcomed by fans old and new of these authors and their previous collaboration, What If It's Us. Critically acclaimed and bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in these smart, funny, heartfelt novels about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart.

Descriere
In the follow-up to their charming NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, What If It’s Us, best friends Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) and Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda) reunite to give Arthur and Ben another shot at true love.
From the creator of 13 Reasons Why, What If It’s Us is soon to be a feature film!
Ben has spent his first year of college working on his fantasy manuscript with his writing partner Mario, who is a great Spanish tutor, and an even better kisser. So why can’t he stop thinking about the fact that Arthur’s back in town two years after they called it quits?
Arthur is in New York for a dream internship on Broadway, with a boyfriend back at home that he couldn't be happier with. But when he comes upon Ben cuddled up with a mystery boy, he starts to wonder if his feelings for Ben ever truly went away.
Even as the boys try to focus on their futures, they can't seem to help running into each other in the present. Is the universe forcing them to question if they’re actually meant to be?
Possibly not. After all, things didn’t work the first time around.
Possibly yes. After all, the sparks are still flying.
Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and raise a glass.
Here’s to celebrating old friends!
Here’s to embracing new beginnings!
Here’s to believing in second chances!
