If I'm Being Honest
by Emily Wibberley Austin Siegemund-BrokaMean Girls meets The Taming of the Shrew in this romantic follow-up to Always Never Yours <P><P>Cameron Bright's reputation can be summed up in one word: b*tch. It's no surprise she's queen bee at her private L.A. high school--she's beautiful, talented, and notorious for her brutal honesty. <P><P>But when she slips up in front of her crush, Andrew, any affection he may have had for her quickly fades. <P><P>To win him over, Cameron resolves to "tame" herself, much like Shakespeare's infamous shrew, Katherine. If she makes amends with everyone she's ever wronged, Andrew will have to take notice. <P><P>Thus, Cameron begins her apology tour with Brendan, the guy whose social life she single-handedly destroyed. <P><P>At first, Brendan isn't so quick to forgive, but slowly he warms to her when they connect over a computer game he's developing. <P><P>To Cameron's amazement, she actually enjoys hanging out with Brendan; he appreciates her honesty in a way Andrew never did, and she's left wondering: maybe you shouldn't have to compromise who you are for the kind of love you deserve.
If I'm born again, I want to be Yoko Ono
by Jacopo RatiniStories full of suggestion, inspired by psychedelic visions and surreal encounters. Themes, situations and varied characters meet and confront: so we can go out to dinner with Michelle Pfeiffer, play poker with Jesus Christ and Charles Bukowski, suffocate ourselves with the monotony that we impose on ourselves. Jacopo teaches us that the Holy Spirit has the face of Bruce Springsteen and that all myths exist to be broken. What remains is a great and concrete desire that we cry out loud to the universe: to be reborn and be Yoko Ono, to know how it feels to steal John Lennon from the Beatles. The book is beautified by the illustrations of Marino D'Amore.
