Sinopse

In "Claudine at School," Colette introduces readers to the spirited and precocious Claudine, a young girl navigating her formative years in a rural French boarding school. Written with Colette's signature lyrical prose, the novel elegantly captures the complexities of adolescence, friendship, and the nuances of gender expectations during the early 20th century. With vivid descriptions and a keen psychological insight, the narrative explores the struggles and joys of youth, all set against the backdrop of a traditional French education system, characterized by its strictures yet ripe for rebellion. Colette, a groundbreaking figure in French literature, drew upon her own experiences as a schoolgirl to craft this semi-autobiographical tale. Born into a creative family, she became a prominent writer and feminist, known for her explorations of identity and sexuality. Her literary career, which flourished during a time when women's voices were often marginalized, reflects her passion for freedom and authenticity, themes that resonate deeply within "Claudine at School." This enchanting novel is highly recommended for readers who admire rich character development and nuanced storytelling. Colette's brilliant observations and humor not only entertain but also offer profound reflections on the transition from childhood innocence to the complexities of adulthood. Ideal for both young adults and literary enthusiasts, it remains a timeless exploration of growth and self-discovery. This translation has been assisted by artificial intelligence.

A Borrowed Boyfriend

Angela Casella

On a scale of one to ten, how bad is it that I want to see my fake boyfriend naked? 
Marnie 
What’s worse than being left at the altar? Becoming a meme because one of your nearest and dearest took a video of you running—and falling—down the aisle and made it internet famous. 
Yup, I’m that Marnie Jones. My sister is for-real famous, which only makes people more interested in my predicament. Is it any wonder I’m feeling down? 
My best friends will try anything to cheer me up…including setting me up with the Fairy Godmother Agency, a maybe-crazy husband and wife private investigator-slash-life coach team who promise to find the person who sold me out. Better yet, they lend me a fake boyfriend to make my ex jealous and appease my sister. 
Griffin is gorgeous, attentive, and a very convincing actor. He’s perfect for the job. 
Too perfect. 
*** 
Griffin 
After a lifetime of practice, I’m good at pretending. But the more time I spend with Marnie Jones, the less I have to feign my interest in her. 
She may be down, but she’s not out. She’s beautiful, funny, and just the right amount of weird. All she needs is someone to remind her of that. 
If I weren’t such a screw up, I’d have half a mind to do it myself.
