10 tahun lalu, sebuah pertanyaan yang meluncur dari mulut Nina berasal dari kejadian yang tidak terduga. "Dhit, kalau gak ada cowok yang mau sama gue lagi gimana?" Lalu Adhit, sahabatnya, berjanji mereka akan menikah di 10 tahun yang akan datang kalau mereka masih sama-sama sendiri.

Dalam 10 tahun, banyak hal tak terduga dan berubah. Termasuk persahabatan bujur sangkar yang terdiri atas dua pasang kakak-adik; Naren dan Nina, Sinar dan Adhit.

Persahabatan mereka berubah karena kematian Naren.

Sinar, yang paling dekat dengan Naren setelah Nina, merasa terpukul dan pergi ke luar negeri. Pergi di saat Nina paling membutuhkannya.

Dan Nina tidak akan lagi pernah sama.

Hanya Adhit yang tersisa.

Aku membutuhkanmu.

Adhit lah yang membantu Nina pindah rumah. Memarahi Nina karena ketahuan keluar malam-malam untuk beli kopi. Menjadi orang pertama yang ditelepon Nina saat dia terbangun karena mimpi buruk. Membelikan Nina buku-buku yang berguna untuk pekerjaannya sebagai ilustrator.

Aku membutuhkanmu -- dan bisa jadi aku mencintaimu.

Ketika mereka akan menikah, barulah Nina menyadari betapa pentingnya Adhit selama ini. Butuh waktu 10 tahun bagi Nina untuk melihat Adhit sebagai... sosok yang dia cintai. Tapi bagaimana dengan masa lalu Nina? Mimpi-mimpi buruk Nina?

Tapi, aku belum akan mengakui ini padamu. Aku belum siap meruntuhkan bentengku dan membiarkanmu memiliki hatiku..

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

Goodreads:

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?

Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.

A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?

Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

Pushing the Limits

Dari Goodreads:

"I won't tell anyone, Echo. I promise." Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone touched me like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins? His dark brown eyes shifted to my covered arms. "You didn't do that-did you? It was done to you?" No one ever asked that question. They stared. They whispered. They laughed. But they never asked.

So wrong for each other...and yet so right.

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

A Little Wanting Song

Title: A Little Wanting Song
Author: Cath Crowley
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
Format: Ebook

Summary:

A summer of friendship, romance, and songs in major chords. . . .

CHARLIE DUSKIN loves music, and she knows she's good at it. But she only sings when she's alone, on the moonlit porch or in the back room at Old Gus's Secondhand Record and CD Store. Charlie's mom and grandmother have both died, and this summer she's visiting her grandpa in the country, surrounded by ghosts and grieving family, and serving burgers to the local kids at the milk bar. She's got her iPod, her guitar, and all her recording equipment, but she wants more: A friend. A dad who notices her. The chance to show Dave Robbie that she's not entirely unspectacular.

ROSE BUTLER lives next door to Charlie's grandfather and spends her days watching cars pass on the freeway and hanging out with her troublemaker boyfriend. She loves Luke but can't wait to leave their small country town. And she's figured out a way: she's won a scholarship to a science school in the city, and now she has to convince her parents to let her go. This is where Charlie comes in. Charlie, who lives in the city, and whom Rose has ignored for years. Charlie, who just might be Rose's ticket out.

Told in alternating voices and filled with music, friendship, and romance, Charlie and Rose's "little wanting song" is about the kind of longing that begins as a heavy ache but ultimately makes us feel hopeful and wonderfully alive.
