Missing Reels
by Farran Smith NehmeThe utterly winning, wholly delightful, totally cinematic debut novel of young love, old movies, and an epic search for a long-lost silent film New York in the late 1980s. Ceinwen Reilly has just moved from Yazoo City, Mississippi, and she's never going back, minimum wage job (vintage store salesgirl) and shabby apartment (Avenue C walkup) be damned. Who cares about earthly matters when Ceinwen can spend her days and her nights at fading movie houses--and most of the time that's left trying to look like Jean Harlow? One day, Ceinwen discovers that her downstairs neighbor may have--just possibly--starred in a forgotten silent film that hasn't been seen for ages. So naturally, it's time for a quest. She will track down the film, she will impress her neighbor, and she will become a part of movie history: the archivist as ingénue. As she embarks on her grand mission, Ceinwen meets a somewhat bumbling, very charming, 100% English math professor named Matthew, who is as rational as she is dreamy. Together, they will or will not discover the missing reels, will or will not fall in love, and will or will not encounter the obsessives that make up the New York silent film nut underworld. A novel as winning and energetic as the grand Hollywood films that inspired it, Missing Reels is an irresistible, alchemical mix of Nora Ephron and David Nicholls that will charm and delight.

Mission: Eine zweite Chance für die Liebe
by Sandra SookooNoch nie war es so befriedigend, eine Hochzeit zu sprengen. Nora „Can't Say No“ Lenharts Leben ist alles andere als unkompliziert. Um dem Ganzen noch mehr Stress hinzuzufügen, wurde sie gerade zur Trauzeugin für die bevorstehende Hochzeit des schlimmsten Chefs der Welt ernannt und ihr Ex ist der Trauzeuge. Sieht so aus, als müsste sie Aktien eines Unternehmens für Antazida kaufen, während sie versucht, das grünäugige Monster des Hochzeitsboots zu verscheuchen. Camden Webber ist ein FBI-Agent mit einem riesigen Komplex – nämlich der Frau nicht verzeihen zu können, dass sie seinen Heiratsantrag vor fünf Jahren abgeschmettert hat, obwohl sie es normalerweise nicht schafft, Nein zu sagen. Obwohl er eine abgestumpfte Meinung zu Hochzeiten und Ehe hat, erklärt sich Cam bereit, seinem besten Freund zur Seite zu stehen. Schließlich sind Katastrophen doch interessant, oder? Als Nora und Camden bei einem Verlobungsessen aufeinander treffen, schmieden sie trotz ihrer turbulenten Liebesgeschichte einen Plan, um das ungleiche Brautpaar auseinanderzubringen. Als der große Tag näher rückt, erreichen die Emotionen ihren Höhepunkt und es zeigt sich, dass die Hochzeitsplanung eher für eine Reality-Show geeignet ist. Ein Happy End ist zwar optional, aber es existiert inmitten der Trümmer, wenn das Paar nur genau genug hinschaut.
