I Can’t Pretend Anymore

dinneylatch
Matilda Rose Harper, a clumsy 17-year-old city girl from Sydney, gets sent to live with her grumpy uncle in the dusty outback town of Wattle Creek after her parents catch her sneaking out one too many times. There, she meets Jack Thomas Flynn, a cheeky 18-year-old sheep farmer’s son who dreams of escaping small-town life to surf on the coast. At first, they clash—Matilda thinks Jack is a rude country boy, and Jack thinks Matilda is a stuck-up city brat. But when they get stuck working together on a crazy town project (building a giant wombat statue to attract tourists), they start to see each other differently. Through funny mishaps, big fights, and quiet moments under the stars, they fall in love while figuring out who they want to be. Along the way, they deal with jealous exes, wild animals, and family secrets that threaten to pull them apart.

The Golden Cage By. Rocío Figueras

In the opulent yet icy world of one of England's wealthiest families, Josephine appears to be the perfect daughter, trapped by relentless expectations and a suffocating lack of affection. Under her parents' icy gaze, she navigates a grueling curriculum of elitist classes and the demand for inhuman academic excellence, smiling at a society that venerates them for a humility they've never felt. But behind the facade of perfection, Josephine hides a disturbing gift: vivid dreams that transcend reality, leaving behind palpable emotions and, even more disturbing, premonitory glimpses of the future, foreshadowing imminent tragedies looming over her world. In the darkness of the night, another mystery stalks her. Recurring dreams transport her to forgotten times, where an enigmatic figure appears again and again, changing its appearance but radiating a familiar essence that thrills her soul. This inexplicable connection plunges her into a whirlwind of intense emotions, a bond that defies time and logic. When her parents force her into an engagement with her childhood friend, Josephine's destiny spirals into an abyss of uncertainty. Her life becomes a struggle against the shadows of the future she foreshadows, against the chains of other people's expectations, and against the desperate search for the meaning of her gifts. Prepare to immerse yourself in Josephine's life, a story where love and betrayal intertwine in a dangerous game, where suspense will trap you in its web, and where a touch of fantasy blurs the boundaries of reality. In this world of deceptive appearances, every unexpected twist will force you to question everything. Will Josephine be able to unravel the secrets of her dreams and forge her own path, or will she be forever trapped in the gilded cage that imprisons her?
