Lily is a young woman who moved from a small town in Maine to Boston, graduated in marketing and opened her own flower shop. And it is on one of Boston’s rooftops that she meets Ryle, a confident, stubborn and perhaps even a little arrogant neurosurgeon, with a great aversion to relationships, but who feels very attracted to her. When the two fall in love, Lily finds herself in the middle of a turbulent relationship that is not what she expected. But will she be able to see it through, no matter how painful it is?

4. We aim for love and hit loneliness, by Ana Suy: https://amzn.to/4d8hSC3

Written based on dialogues, the book emerged from experiences lived by the author in classrooms, in analysis sessions (as an analyst), with friends, and in readings of theoretical research. In this book, psychoanalyst and professor Ana Suy wants, above all, to continue this conversation with you, the reader, without, however, the intention of being a manual or an academic treatise on the subject.

5. The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read by Philippa Perry: https://amzn.to/46ygPJk

All parents want their children to be happy and to be upbringing-friendly. But how do you achieve these goals? Instead of mapping out a “perfect” plan, Philippa Perry offers a general overview of how to develop quality relationships. Without judgment or rules, Perry teaches you how to: understand how your own upbringing affects your relationship with your children; accept that you will make mistakes and understand what you can do about them; break negative cycles and patterns of behavior; deal with your own feelings as well as those of your children; understand what different behaviors communicate.

In this book, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most people only use a fraction of their physical and mental capabilities.

The story of Fire & Blood begins with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and continues through the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold the seat, right up until the civil war that nearly destroyed their dynasty. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so dangerous to visit Valyria after the Doom? What is the origin of the three dragon eggs that came to Daenerys? These are some of the questions answered in this essential book, told by a wise maester of the Citadel.
