In this collection you will find seven unusual romantic books in which the heroes and heroines had to face disappointment and resentment, betrayal and the desire to never open up to anyone again.

It is Sissy who will help you find a way to the past, sort out your feelings and understand yourself. The woman will tell an unusual story, how once, in 1951, she and her friends decided to try their luck and go to the majestic oak, the Tree of Desires. Three girls wrote their most cherished dreams on ribbons and put them in a hollow. And their wishes really began to come true, but not at all the way they wanted. The past will help Larkin understand the present and change the future. It is she who is destined for the role of the one who can save the old dilapidated house and loved ones.

Lana Barsukova, “Happinesswalks barefoot"
A new collection of unusual stories about the search for happiness, but this time closer to the Russian-speaking reader, because the heroes of Lana Barsukova's stories are modern Russians and Russian women, our relatives and friends, friends and colleagues. A distinctive feature of Barsukova's style can be called, first of all, the soft irony with which she talks about all her heroes who rush forward without noticing anything around. Not noticing even the very happiness that draws bare feet, fearing that our hard heels would crush them. After all, happiness, insists Barsukova, walks barefoot.

Anna Todd, The Brightest Stars
The world knows Anna Todd from the After series, which began as a small novel on the Wattpad platform, and eventually grew into, it seems,five books about the ups and downs of the relationship of one couple in love. Now Todd has started a new series about a completely different couple, and the setting promises something unusual. This is a story about Karina, a girl who grew up on a military base, and Kael, a young soldier who is withdrawn and apparently deeply traumatized by the war. His stubborn silence and a certain natural magnetism conquered Karina, who so needed stability after the deterioration of family relations. Kael is static, calm, reliable. Or did Karina come up with all these qualities for him, filling in the gaps in knowledge about him with conjectures? A quickly built castle in the air, of course, will quickly collapse, and Karina will have to unravel the tangle of lies and truth.
