Their love never stood a chance, or so Violet believed when a desperate plea for help arrived from the sister she had never really known. Rather than say goodbye, she slipped away in the night, walking out on the only man she had ever loved to rescue the sister she had been separated from. In the years since, Andre has traveled the world building new medical clinics, while Violet has finally found the family she always craved and the roots she never knew she wanted. When these star-crossed former lovers are drawn back together, they must reckon with the choices that tore them apart and the feelings that never truly faded.

Annie Proulx's spare, unsparing prose follows the cost of that constraint — on their marriages, their children, and each other — to its devastating end.\n\nOriginally published in The New Yorker in 1997 and collected in Close Range: Wyoming Stories, Brokeback Mountain is a short story, not a novel — read in one sitting, it has the weight of something much longer.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjfzxcyd2m3zabq19gw0e7.jpg","LDCP^l?a_N%g,BVYxaMx8^tRIoWC",1997,55,[871],{"id":872,"slug":873,"name":874},"01kjvg6p5dbhn3vcrfrwrc81nm","annie-proulx-qcei","Annie Proulx",[876,877,878,882],{"id":588,"name":589,"slug":590,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":879,"name":880,"slug":881,"is_fiction":20},36,"LGBTQ+ Romance","lgbtq-romance",{"id":883,"name":884,"slug":885,"is_fiction":20},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",[887],{"id":888,"slug":889,"name":890,"position":169,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjfzyb30y6bneka5w9vjbc","wyoming-stories-ds7p","Wyoming Stories",{"pace":81,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":892,"themes":893,"setting_period":7,"summary":894,"content_warnings":7},[797,798,86,137,513],[665],"In the summer of 1963, ranch hands Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist meet tending sheep on a remote Wyoming mountainside, and what begins as an unplanned intimacy becomes the defining relationship of both their lives.

Smaller and more physically fragile than the warriors around her, Violet is given almost no chance of surviving the first day, let alone graduating.\n\nTo live, she'll have to outthink opponents who could snap her in half, earn the respect of a dragon that could incinerate her on a whim, and navigate the lethal politics of a college where ambition is settled with blades. Chief among the threats is Xaden Riorson, the brooding, dangerous wingleader whose father was executed for leading a rebellion against Violet's mother—giving him every reason to want her dead.\n\nBut as the war beyond Navarre's borders grows harder to ignore and the kingdom's defenses begin to fail, Violet starts to suspect that the leadership is hiding the truth about what's really happening on the front lines. The first book in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series, Fourth Wing pairs a deadly dragon-rider academy with a slow-burning, high-heat romance and a mystery that reframes everything Violet thought she knew.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kjq7kzcw1nacfmd7xk4f9cca_6a267d220e5fa.jpg?v=3d0d631368","L8F65-M|_29GITM_IA%LogRi~qV@","4.63",27,530,[983],{"id":984,"slug":985,"name":986},"01kjq72kz9wcx9k8sqtw939y97","rebecca-yarros-ahwz","Rebecca Yarros",[988,989,990,991],{"id":946,"name":947,"slug":948,"is_fiction":20},{"id":83,"name":473,"slug":474,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":951,"name":952,"slug":953,"is_fiction":20},[993],{"id":994,"slug":995,"name":996,"position":169,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7kzg3hz76xmyhvkwbq9d3","the-empyrean-vykb","The Empyrean",{"pace":447,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":998,"themes":999,"setting_period":7,"summary":1000,"content_warnings":7},[512,87,513],[666],"Yirmi yaşındaki Violet Sorrengail, Yazıcılar Birliği'nde sakin bir hayat sürmeyi beklerken, general olan annesi onu ejderha binicilerinin acımasız dünyasına sokar.

To do it she summons Monique Grant, an unknown magazine writer, and offers her the story of a lifetime — an exclusive biography that will only be published after Evelyn's death.\n\nOver a series of long afternoons, Evelyn recounts her rise from a poor Cuban neighborhood in Hell's Kitchen to the pinnacle of mid-century stardom: the seven marriages that made headlines, the ruthless ambition that fueled her career, and the one great love she spent her whole life protecting. As the confession deepens, Monique begins to wonder why Evelyn chose her, and what the fading star still stands to gain by telling everything.\n\nTold largely through Evelyn's own unflinching voice, Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel is a story about the cost of fame, the compromises women make to seize power in a world designed against them, and the difference between the public image and the private heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5s63redz87wyv08b9b8ah.jpg","LGCP^JIuU{KK}ZS6wMS2MLkWpGi{",2017,"4.42",24,[1012],{"id":1013,"slug":1014,"name":1015},"01kjq809s1bz8jkha881zbv9c5","taylor-jenkins-reid-jk5i","Taylor Jenkins Reid",[1017,1018,1019,1020,1021,1022],{"id":788,"name":789,"slug":790,"is_fiction":20},{"id":883,"name":884,"slug":885,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":879,"name":880,"slug":881,"is_fiction":20},{"id":588,"name":589,"slug":590,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},[1024],{"id":1025,"slug":1026,"name":1027,"position":169,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kve2ck560hws5hr6hqne7fwn","the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-universe-pysh","The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Universe",{"pace":81,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":1029,"themes":1030,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[137,86],[570,539],{"id":1032,"slug":1033,"title":1034,"description":1035,"primary_cover_url":1036,"cover_blurhash":1037,"first_publish_year":777,"community_rating_avg":1038,"community_rating_count":1010,"page_count":1039,"authors":1040,"genres":1045,"series":1055,"enrichment":1056},"01kjq81jxttpx1k2dtwgbkfbjf","the-fault-in-our-stars-18go","The Fault in Our Stars","Hazel Grace Lancaster is sixteen and has lived with terminal thyroid cancer for years, kept alive by an experimental drug and tethered to a portable oxygen tank.

Her stories of family, love and friendship always leave a lasting impression. Once again, she delivers a gripping and emotional tale about love, family and friendship.\n\nI first met Violet in Bayside Desires and since then I wanted to learn more about her. Secretive and complex in nature, I could not wait to peel away her layers and learnt what made her tick.\n\nViolet has no filter. She says what she feels and makes no apologies. However, behind the feisty exterior lay a heart which had the capacity to love beyond measure. The thing is, few people has seen this side of her. Prickly in nature she allows no one to get close to her, until her sister, whom she never had much of a relationship with, and her crazy friends wormed their way into her heart without her even realising it. Only one other person had accomplished this, but her fears got in the way and she made a decision that would change both their lives. Fate however has a way of stepping in and shaking everything up as Violet would discover when her past collided with her present.\n\nAndre spent three years trying to get over the woman who turned his life inside out, then up, and left him with no warning. All attempts failed, not even his new venture as it reminded him of her. Therefore, an offer from a free spirited woman to spend time in the Cape seems like the perfect solution. Then he came face to face with Violet and all the emotions he thought were buried came bubbling to the surface.\n\nI loved both Violet and Andre. Andre is such a sweet person. Despite being hurt before he is still willing fight for Violet and their love. He saw beyond her tough facade. He knew all her issues, but loved her in spite of them.\n\nMy heart went out to Violet. I could not imagine having the life she had has a child. The lack of stability, afraid to get close to anyone, knowing she will not be staying in one place too long.\n\nI loved how Violet found her own and opened herself to family, love and friendship. There is a side to her she did not share with her sister and newfound friends. They saw her as a trash talking biker chick, but there was more to her. She was selfless, artistic and sweet, traits only Andre were privy to.\n\nI could not help but root for them and I hoped they would both get it right the second time around.\n\nConclusion\u002FRecommendation\nBayside Escape is an emotional story about second chances and coming to terms with the pain of your past. It is about forgiveness, letting go of the pain and hurt and opening up yourself to love. I recommend this latest offering from Ms. Foster to fans of contemporary romance.","none","rv-01kxpyd2f6h106bmwb4pm3t139",[]]
