Linger is the second book next to Shiver, out of four books of the #1 New York Times Bestseller young adult fantasy series, The Wolves of Mercy Falls. If you love young adult fantasy novels that will remind you of stubborn young love and lots of intrigues, the Linger book series is definitely for you!
Handsome but promiscuous, the latter earning his nickname the Love Machine after he describes television with the same sobriquet, Robin is loved beyond all reason by three women: Amanda, the beautiful but doomed fashion model Maggie, the beautiful but headstrong fellow journalist escaping a cruel society marriage and Judith, the beautiful but aging wife of fourth-network founder Gregory Austin.Īs Robin rises and falls (both in and out of his bedroom), many people cross his path. The Love Machine tells the story of ruthless, haunted Robin Stone and his life and career in the cut-throat world of 1960s network television. Published by Simon & Schuster in 1969, the book was a New York Times #1 best seller. The Love Machine is the second novel by Jacqueline Susann, the follow-up to her enormously successful Valley of the Dolls (1966). As a character, Teru is sharp and courageous, and gives as good as she gets. Motomi uses a deft hand at composing the narrative, arranged with soft expressions and swaying flowers, while turning typical tricks of the shojo-manga trade on its head (a scene of gently falling flowers turns out to be a scene where Kurosaki is trimming trees). Despite their antagonistic relationship, he always seems to be around when Teru needs help. Kurosaki is a cranky, shiftless, character who spends most of his time smoking, playing mah-jongg, and belittling Teru. While Teru and Daisy text each other messages those from Daisy are filled with gentle, kind words of encouragement and support the young, thuggish, school janitor, Kurosaki, suddenly recruits Teru to help pay off the repairs to a window that she broke. But before dying, her brother gave her a cellphone with which she can contact "Daisy," a mysterious man who acts as a sort of cyber-guardian angel. After the death of her older brother, high school student Teru Kurebayashi is the only surviving member of her family. This series ruthlessly cultivates and exploits this innocent desire. Kurosaki is an impossible taskmaster though, and he also seems to be hiding something important from Teru. So much of shojo (girl's) manga falls under the sway of one single emotion: longing. One day at school, Teru accidentally breaks a window and agrees to pay for it by helping Kurosaki with chores around school. I’m so excited to share this episode with you.
