How can they fail to fall back in love at a swanky hotel with an actual pool to swim in and everything! But when Anna discovers more about why her family has grown apart, suddenly a happy holiday in Italy seems about as likely as swimming on the moon ...

Když pan Pes kousne - Příběh o životě, smrti, lásce, sexu a nadávání. Seznamte se s Dylanem Mintem. Je celkem fajn, až na toho Touretta. Jeho život, to je neustálá snaha ubránit se tomu, co ho Tourettův syndrom nutí dělat: potlačit nutkání sprostě nadávat, tiky, třas, vrčení, vytí psa, který se chce dostat ven, když je Dylan ve stresu. Není to snadné, zvlášť když je táta ve válce, neustále na mušce ostřelovačů, a máma pořád brečí. A jako by to nestačilo, během jedné pravidelné kontroly u doktora zaslechne Dylan větu, která nebyla určena pro jeho uši. Podle všeho má namále a vydrží nanejvýš do srpna. Teď je duben. Za ty čtyři měsíce by Dylan chtěl ještě pár věcí stihnout a zažít. Pár super věcí. Například sex. Udělá si seznam, a odhodlaně se pustí do plnění posledních přání...

Das Leben ist echt nicht fair! Dylan Mint ist 16 und hat Tourette. Mr Dog nennt er seine Krankheit und dieser bellende, fluchende Hund lässt sich nicht kontrollieren. Das größte Problem aber ist, dass er in sechs Monaten wohl »abkratzen« wird und bis dahin noch etwas erledigen muss: zum ersten Mal Sex haben, den Vater aus Afghanistan holen und seinem besten Freund Amir einen neuen Kumpel besorgen. Alles eine echte Herausforderung, aber Dylan lässt nicht locker ...
