Lifel1k3 (Lifelike) Jay Kristoff MAY 2018 Lifel1k3 (Lifelike) Jay Kristoff From the co-author of the New York Times bestselling Illuminae Files comes the first book in a new series that's part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator, and all adrenaline. Description On an island junkyard beneath a sky that glows with radiation, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap. Seventeen-year- old Eve isn't looking for trouble-she's too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she spent months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, she's on the local gangster's wanted list, and the only thing keeping her grandpa alive is the money she just lost to the bookies. Worst of all, she's discovered she can somehow destroy machines with the power of her mind, and a bunch of puritanical fanatics are building a coffin her size because of it. If she's ever had a worse day, Eve can't remember it. The problem is, Eve has had a worse day--one that lingers in her nightmares and the cybernetic implant where her memories used to be. Her discovery of a handsome android named Ezekiel-called a ""Lifelike"" because they resemble humans--will bring her world crashing down and make her question whether her entire life is a lie. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic sidekick Cricket in tow, Eve will trek across deserts of glass, battle unkillable bots, and infiltrate towering megacities to save the ones she loves ... and learn the truth about the bloody secrets of her past. About the Author Jay Kristoff is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of THE NEVERNIGHT CHRONICLE, THE ILLUMINAE FILES and THE LOTUS WAR.

A wonderful and funny coming-of-age story set at the beach over the summer holidays. Description Vanessa (Van) Partridge is curious about the idea of having sex. But she can't tell anyone. And no one would believe her anyway - because everyone knows she's a goody-two-shoes. But over the summer holidays, Van rebels and everything changes. At first it feels like delicious freedom as she explores her independence, practising her favourite cello pieces, reconnecting with her long-time summer friend Kelsey and exploring her attraction to environmental activist Bodhi. But when her sense of self is shaken, Van wrestles with issues of desire and consent, and the questions that have been plaguing her all along... Can someone with sensible plaits and an interest in philosophy really be a raving sex-o-maniac? And if they are, is there anything wrong with that? The Learning Curves of Vanessa Partridge is a funny and warm coming-of-age novel about love, sex, friendship, family, and finding your voice.

    F i t r i | 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Human is created differently from other God’s creatures. They have been created as the perfect creature by God. Paula J.C. said in her book Human Developmentthat human is creature who frees to choose meaning in every situation, taking responsibility for every decision in a sustainable manner, and was involved in drawing the pattern of relationships with others (50). Therefore, they have many abilities to choose something appropriate to their life, because they are given some abilities from God. One of the human’s abilities is described to their relation with others. The relation to each other is needed in the life of a human who lives in the real world. The relation itself is divided into the smaller side that is family and the biggest side that is social community. In a social relation, we often hear and say about friendship. There is no one who can live alone in this world. Everyone need friends. Friendship is naturally built among several people who know and understand each others. In the book of Love, Friendship, and the Self, Bennet W. Helm said that friendships are relationships that essentially involve considerably more intimacy than is apparent just by considering the loving attitudes that ground them (205). In this context, She also argue more strongly that making sense of friendship requires postulating cares and even values that belong not simply to the one friend or the other but digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id F i t r i | 2 rather to both jointly.
