Beautiful Bones

Synopsis

Most people have many complex and characteristic concepts of beauty, but for Willow Durieux, being beautiful is being everything she is not. Especially now that her secret has been exposed, by her one and only best friend. With everyone at school knowing that the sixteen-year-old has never been kissed, she feels increasingly lonely and awkward, and her mother sees the solution as forcing her to go to the school's arts program. Still a little shaken, she accepts to take care of a project in the school's arts sector, which is where she goes in the afternoons, after school, instead of staying at home, taking care of every detail of her mother's new possible marriage. And then, slowly, Willow begins to open her eyes to her concepts, to her own beauty, to her new true friends and a beautiful boy who could change her disastrous current situation. "Maybe I'm not a total failure. Maybe being a total failure is what makes me different. Maybe my "awful skeleton" and my flaws are what make me...well, be me. that "myself" sucks most of the time, there's no one who sucks the way I am. And that's kind of comforting. Maybe I'm not completely lost after all."

“All this time, I don't know why on earth this story isn't in my recommendations. It's one of my favorite stories ever, really. It has several special touches, and makes you want to reach the end - and at the same time not, if you know what I mean. I love each of the characters. Willow is cute, especially as the story goes on. She opens up more, realizing how special she is. Owen is the most amazing boy I've ever met, and I'm not kidding. It was developed in such a beautiful way that it became real to me. And Ramona is wonderful, crazy and playful, always doing her best to get the best for everyone. And the entire setting, the author's writing, the special touches and the smallest details... Everything is so well developed here that sometimes I think about binding this story and keeping it on my shelf, just to have a little piece of it with me. I could spend all day talking about Beautiful Bones to anyone who would listen. Read this wonderful thing. It needs to be read, because it is beautiful.”

In the year 3075, humanity has achieved extraordinary technological advances. Machines coexist with people, cities are dominated by gigantic corporations, and technology is capable of replacing almost any part of the human body. But not even a thousand years of progress were enough to build a better world. While the richest live surrounded by privileges, millions of people survive in a society marked by inequality, violence, and corruption. It is in this world that Nia lives, a domestic robot who works in the residence of an elderly businessman. Her existence is simple: clean, organize, and carry out the tasks for which she was programmed. At least it should be. In a city where everything has a price, a police officer tries to find his place within a corrupt system, while a woman connected to the criminal underworld does what is necessary to survive. Three distinct lives, in a society that seems to have forgotten the meaning of humanity. In a world where machines become increasingly human, what remains of humanity in people?

The world has ended. There is no future left on the outside, nor humanity waiting to be rescued. What exists is a reality preserved by the will of a single person who keeps the memory of the world and everything that remains of humanity. The problem is that not everyone agrees that this existence should continue... Eine, a survivor of the catastrophe that destroyed human reality, dedicates her existence to ending the last traces of the people who were once at the center of these events. But, being unable to interfere directly in a dream that still continues, she must find hosts among the people who inhabit it. Her new attempt is Claire Williams. At nineteen, Claire has very ordinary concerns: university, the debts she took on to study, and the future she believes she is building. Now, however, she shares her own consciousness with a young man who knows a reality she cannot accept. As the boundaries between memory and existence begin to dissolve, those who walk between the two extremes will have to confront a question for which there may be no right answer: when the world has already ended, what does it mean to keep living?

There is a kind of silence that weighs more than any war cry. It is the silence of the gap between the oaks across the frozen ground, the steam of a soup shared only with longing and the constant fear of waiting for someone who may never return. In Patavium, Aemilia became the lady of a home haunted by uncertainty. Torn between the relentless responsibility of governing the land and the intimate torment of not knowing her husband's fate, she refuses to succumb to despair. To protect the property and those who depend on it, Aemilia will have to find strength where only solitude remains, proving that dignity and love can be shields as sturdy as iron.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again. Helena is in no hurry, nor is she afraid, and she does not let herself be swayed by pretty words. But every rose has its thorn. When two such different presences cross her path, she will discover that it is not possible to keep everything under control at all times. One calms, the other sets ablaze. One is shelter, the other is storm. For even the gentlest calm holds a flame, and within the storm itself there is already a harbinger of tranquility - each heart carries within itself both the flame and the breeze that can extinguish it. Be careful not to lose yourself. The labyrinth is yours, and only you will find the way out.
