Life Only Better

Anna Gavalda

Sinopse

Two lost young Parisians discover new paths for their lives in this charming pair of novellas by the international-bestselling author of Billie.   Twenty-four-year-old Mathilde has abandoned her studies in art history for a job leaving anonymous negative comments on websites. One day she loses her bag in a café—a bag that happens to contain ten thousand Euros. When an unknown man returns it to her a week later, Mathilde becomes obsessed with the mysterious encounter.   Twenty-six-year-old Yann works as a sales assistant in a home appliances store while he waits for better days to come. He wouldn’t say he is unhappy. But sometimes, late at night, when he is crossing a bridge over the River Seine, he imagines jumping. One day he does a favor for one of his neighbors and is asked to stay for dinner as thanks. The following morning Yann throws caution to the wind and decides to change his life entirely.   These two novellas by bestselling author Anna Gavalda are among her most moving and inspiring. Life, Only Better is a touching, cleverly crafted book about choices and their consequences.

The Night Market

Jesikah Sundin

✨ Duet Narration ✨
A mortal seer enslaved by a traveling faerie market.
A Raven shifter selected in a lottery to save his Caravan tribe.
And a future not even the cards could predict . . .
Some children dream of running away to join the Night Market. I did so to escape a nightmare.
Still, being forced into an overheated tent to read fortunes until sunrise has its trials—naturally. But when he visits me, I suffer for entirely different reasons.
Stars above, Rhylen Lonan is the most beautiful faerie I’ve ever known. A Raven shifter with long black hair, dark purple eyes, and magic that stirs my own. Each Night Market, in exchange for a generous slice of cake and a delicious morsel of gossip, I read him three cards. And before the gates open, he breaks my heart with the same question.
“Does my mate love me back?”
Every time, I'm taunted with visions of Rhylen in love . . . with her. His mate. Until tonight’s reading, that is, when Fate takes a sudden dark turn. I see a devastating fire. He will be forced to marry to save his tribe or face banishment. She will be hunted by other fae in a wedding game.
I do not see her face. I never have. Nor do I know her name.
But as Rhylen’s destiny continues to grip my Sight, I start to suspect it's me. That I have always been his forbidden future. And I don’t know what terrifies me most—that I might be his downfall or that he might be mine.
THE NIGHT MARKET is a standalone fae romantasy set in the Bound by Ravens world and perfect for fans of forbidden romance, mutual pining, cozy romantasy with high stakes, romcom vibes, feral for her, and magical cake.
