Para mitigar el daño, ambos países organizan un plan que involucra una supuesta amistad entre Alex y Henry, que se hace pública en Instagram.

    • The special hardcover collector's edition of Casey McQuiston's beloved New York Times bestselling novel, featuring illustrated endpapers, bonus content, and more! For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all. Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.

      Theo and Kit have experienced a whirlwind of emotions: childhood best friends, crushes, lovers, and now estranged exes. Following a brutal breakup during their flight to a dream European food and wine tour, they parted ways for good. Time apart has been transformative; Theo has blossomed into a confident bartender and aspiring sommelier, while Kit, who stayed in Europe, has excelled at pastry school and now works in a top Paris restaurant. Despite their separate successes, they both feel the void left by their past. As the unused voucher for their European tour nears expiration, they each decide to take the trip solo. To their surprise, they find themselves on the same tour bus, forced to spend three weeks together amidst the beautiful landscapes and culinary delights of France, Spain, and Italy. They assure themselves that their feelings are in the past, but when Theo proposes a wager to see who can seduce their attractive Italian tour guide first, Kit eagerly accepts. This leads to a full-blown competition of European hookups. Yet, as they indulge in fleeting encounters, they realize that sometimes a taste of everything only intensifies the longing for what they once shared.

    • Když se v přeplněné newyorské restauraci omylem posadí ke stejnému stolu dva lidé, kteří rozhodně neměli být na stejném místě ve stejný čas, spustí to sérii událostí, které ani jeden z nich nečekal. Alex, pečlivý plánovač, který má svůj život pevně pod kontrolou, a Jordan, volnomyšlenkář, který se živí psaním o jídle a spontánních dobrodružstvích, se dostanou do zvláštní dohody: společně vyrazí na kulinární cestu po Evropě, která má jednomu z nich pomoci znovu najít směr, a druhému dodat odvahu dělat rozhodnutí, kterým se dlouho vyhýbal. Co začíná jako čistě praktické partnerství, se brzy mění v něco víc. Pod hvězdami v Paříži, na rušných trzích v Barceloně i mezi úzkými uličkami italského pobřeží vyrůstá mezi dvojicí jemné pouto – a spolu s ním i otázka, jestli je možné najít domov v člověku, ne na místě. „Stůl pro dva“ je romantický, vtipný a hřejivý příběh o tom, že někdy stačí jediné setkání, aby se přepsal celý náš životní itinerář.
