Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow - A Novel

Faïza Guène

Sinopsis

A “touching, furious, sharp, and very funny” novel of an immigrant teenage girl finding her own identity in France (Booklist).   The Paradise projects are only a few metro stops from Paris, but it feels like a different world. Doria’s father, aka the Beard, has headed back to their hometown in Morocco, leaving her and her mom to cope with their mektoub, their destiny, alone. They have a little help—from a social worker sent by the city, a psychiatrist sent by the school, and a thug friend who recites Rimbaud.   It seems like fate has dealt them an impossible hand, but Doria might still make a new life—“with bravado, humor, and a healthy dose of rage” (St. Petersburg Times).   “[A] sassy, spunky tale . . . Doria has what it takes to storm any barricade.” —The Hartford Courant   “[Doria is] as likable as Holden Caulfield or Prep’s Lee Fiora. Readers will cheer. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, starred review   “A promising addition to the world’s literary voices.” —The Miami Herald   “Moving and irreverent, sad and funny, full of rage and intelligence. Her voice is fresh, and her book a delight.” —Laila Lalami, bestselling author of The Moor’s Account

Illegal Motion

Rheland Richmond, Emerson Beckett

Callum Kennedy: I should have known behind that deep sexy southern drawl, and beautiful face lived the world's biggest asshole. I've tried my damnedest to put him behind me. But it was hard to do when I saw his face every night in my dreams and couldn't forget how he worked my body over. I had my work as a vet, my equine rescue to manage, and my friends. I'd forget him or work myself to death trying. But it turns out he's the new free-agent running back who just signed a deal with the Portland Pirates. The infamous Declan Miller has turned my world upside down and reinserted himself back into my life for the next year. Declan's the last person I want help from, but it looks like I don't have a choice. 
 
 
 
Declan Miller: When I walked into Alejandro's Bar that night, I never expected to meet someone my first night in town. But the sexy guy with wavy dark blond hair and hazel-green eyes sitting alone at the bar caught my attention. Or maybe it was the way he was sniffing his own shirt. After a night of the best sex of my life, I knew I had to push him away. I wasn't doing relationships anymore, and this gorgeous, funny man had the power to break me. But when I find out my unforgettable hookup is part of my new friend group, Dr. Callum Kennedy wants nothing to do with me until he has no choice but to let me help.
