Buona sera a tutte!
Quando all’ultimo minuto mi hanno chiesto di partecipare al ‘release blitz’ di RIGHT, l’attesissimo sequel di WRONG (qui la recensione) di Jana Aston, non potevo dire di no. Wrong è una delle romantic comedy più sexy e divertenti che abbia letto lo scorso anno. L’uscita di "Right" è stata resa nota solo in questi giorni e mi ha colta di sorpresa. "Right" è un romanzo standalone che vede protagonista Everly, la migliore amica di Sophie in Wrong.

Sinossi :
La mia infanzia è stata perfetta.
Ho condotto una vita meravigliosa, e non ho intenzione di rovinare tutto con la scelta della persona sbagliata.
I miei occhi sono puntati sul migliore amico di mio fratello.
Conosco la sua famiglia da anni. Lui è affidabile, gentile, bello.
Certo, mi ha evitato da quando avevo sei anni.
Sono un po' aggressiva per lui, forse.
Ma lui è quello giusto ...?

ALCUNI ESTRATTI
(tratti da Right di Jana Aston)
Estratto #1
"What about you, Everly?"
"What about me what?" I ask, confused.
"Are you seeing anyone?" He looks over at me. "At school?"
Not successfully, I think to myself. "No, not right now. I'm kinda taking a break this semester."
"Taking a break," Eric repeats, glancing over at me. "That's not like you. At all." I shrug. "It's exhausting."
"What's exhausting?" he asks, frowning.
"Um—" Breaking and entering, I think. But I can't tell him that. "You know, the whole 'does he like me' thing."
"If you have to wonder if a guy likes you, then he's not the right guy for you, Everly." "Maybe it's more complicated than that."
"It's never more complicated than that."
Estratto #2
He's attractive, I'll give him that. If you go for tall, incredibly fit men with chiseled jaws and thick dark hair. Which no girl does, ever. It must suck to be him.
He grabs my stuff and leads me to a small silvery blue sports car—a Porsche, I note with a roll of my eyes. He holds the passenger door open for me before tossing my bag in the trunk. I slide into the passenger seat of the low-slung car as the door thuds shut behind me and busy myself with the seatbelt, using the opportunity to watch him as he crosses the front of the car. His strides are confident, unhurried. The fingers of his left hand skim the hood before he rounds the headlight and reaches the driver's side door.
I suddenly feel uneasy, and I never feel uneasy.
This car is too small for the both of us. I'm annoyed at the idea of being cooped up inside the same ten square feet as him all the way to Philadelphia. I just met him twenty minutes ago. Why is he having this effect on me?
The door handle clicks and he's behind the wheel, the engine purring a second later. I watch him buckle himself in from the corner of my eye, but keep my head straight, my focus on my hands folded in my lap, until the silence goes on too long. He's staring at me, the car idling, apparently content to wait until he has my attention. I turn my head and meet his eyes.
They're brown, another check mark completing tall, dark and handsome. They light up with amusement as he speaks, which unsettles me. Why?
"How can you possibly think Finn Camden is the right man for you?"
That's why.

****
Un breve cenno sull’autrice: Jana Aston è
l’autrice del bestseller WRONG. Jana ha
smesso di fare il suo lavoro molto
noioso per dedicarsi full-time alla scrittura. Spera che non sia stata una
pessima idea. In sua difesa può dire che
si trattava di un lavoro davvero noiosissimo.
Qui trovate il romanzo in inglese!!
