Dante can swim. Ari can't. Dante is articulate and self-assured. Ari has a hard time with words and suffers from self-doubt. Dante gets lost in poetry and art. Ari gets lost in thoughts of his older brother who is in prison. Dante is fair skinned. Ari's features are much darker. It seems that a boy like Dante, with his open and unique perspective on life, would be the last person to break down the walls that Ari has built around himself. But against all odds, when Ari and Dante meet, they develop a special bond that will teach them the most important truths of their lives, and help define the people they want to be. But there are big hurdles in their way, and only by believing in each other―and the power of their friendship―can Ari and Dante emerge stronger on the other side.

הוא היה הילד הרע, המקובל והמוכשר. אני הייתי הגיקית הדחויה והשנואה. הוא היה השמש... ושאב את כולם פנימה. אני הייתי חור שחור... הפילה הלבנה שבחדר. הוא נועד להיות כוכב. אני נועדתי להישאר אלמונית חסרת חשיבות. עד שבזכותו האמנתי שאני מיוחדת. ואז... הוא הרס אותי. מעולם לא חשבתי שאראה שוב את פיניקס ווקר אחרי ששבר את ליבי, אבל לגורל יש תוכניות משלו. סיבוב הופעות אחד. שמונה שבועות. ארבעים הופעות. אינספור הזדמנויות לנקמה. העולם חושב שהוא אליל... אבל אני היחידה שיודעת מה היא האמת שהוא מסתיר. \\\* אשלי ג'ייד מעפילה לשיא חדש בכתיבתה ומגישה לקוראים רומן מהפנט בסגנון אויבים לאוהבים על רוק'נרול, סקס והתמכרויות. המילים – כרך א' הוא סאגה מרגשת, סקסית ומטלטלת על אומנות ואמון, על טעויות שמעצבות אישיות ומכריחות אותנו להישיר מבט אל הצדדים האפלים שבנשמתנו, ועל כוחן של אהבה והזדמנות שנייה כנגד כל הסיכויים.

Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock ’n’ roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road. Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend. The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.
