She’s got rheumatoid arthritis. But then she meets another sick kid. He’s got a chronic illness Isabel’s never heard of, something she can’t even pronounce. He understands what it means to be sick.

Isabel has one rule: no dating. It’s complicated— It’s dangerous— It’s never felt better— —to consider breaking that rule for him.
Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things. She’s my best friend. She’s the center of attention. She is, without fail, the hottest girl in the room. Anytime. Anyplace. She has freckles and dimples and bright green eyes, and with someone else’s energy she’d be adorable. But there is nothing cute about Ivy. She is ice and hot metal and electricity. She is the girl who every lesbian wants, but she has never been with the same person twice. She’s one-of-a-kind but also predictable, so I will always be Andie, her best friend, never Andie, her girlfriend. Then she meets Dot, and Ivy does something even I would have never guessed—she sees Dot another day. And another. And another. Now my world is slowly going up in smoke, and no matter what I do, the flames grow higher. She lit that match without knowing who or what it would burn. Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things. But falling in love wasn’t supposed to be one of them...unless it was with me.

"Rudy's life is flipped upside-down when his family moves to a remote, magical island in a last attempt to save his sick younger brother, Dylan. While Dylan recovers, Rudy sinks deeper and deeper into his loneliness"--
Jonah ha una famiglia a dir poco difficile. Ha due genitori quasi assenti, che non ricordano più perché stanno insieme e a malapena riescono a tenere le fila di un matrimonio che sta rovinando la loro vita e quella dei figli. E ha due fratelli: Will, di pochi mesi, che piange incessantemente, e Jesse, di 16 anni. Il rapporto tra Jonah e Jesse va ben al di là dell'amore fraterno. Sì, perché Jonah è l'angelo custode di Jesse, colui che ogni giorno lo salva da morte sicura per soffocamento. Jesse soffre infatti di gravi allergie alimentari, soprattutto al latte e, dato che Will è ancora un poppante, Jesse non è mai al sicuro, nemmeno in casa. I suoi attacchi sono violenti, terribili, devastanti, tanto da spedirlo in ospedale. Jonah non può permettersi di perderlo mai di vista: controlla tutto ciò che mangia, tocca, respira. Si assicura anche che quella sbadata di sua madre non allatti Will e poi tocchi il fratello. Ogni volta che il cellulare squilla, il cuore di Jonah parte al galoppo per la paura che Jesse sia in fin di vita. Jonah vuole essere più forte, ha bisogno di essere più forte, per sorreggere una famiglia sull'orlo del baratro, per sostenere un fratello che rischia di morire ogni giorno, per non cedere al raptus omicida nei confronti di un bebè che riduce a brandelli i nervi di tutti. Rompersi le ossa e guarire è l'unico modo che Jonah conosce per rinforzarsi. Perché chiunque sa che un osso fratturato ha il potere di curarsi da solo e di ricrescere più forte, rinvigorito.
