About this deal

This is one of the best friends to lovers romance where childhood friends finally cross over that line- even when one becomes a professional baseball player. Literary genres age, much as people do. Postcolonial literature – PoCo to friends – was once an angry young outsider leading the charge against empire. Now, much older and having made some money, PoCo seems to have compromised with the world, depicting chic, transnational lives jetting between humid capital cities and the glamorous locales of New York and London. Invariably educated at Oxbridge and the Ivy League, the characters pursue comfortable careers in politics, the media and, almost always, high finance. After a radical youth, it seems, PoCo has put away the placards and started to indulge capitalism. This was a unique read that I ended up enjoying, though I felt that the author makes you work a bit to figure out what is really happening from breadcrumbs she leaves. The story centers on Bella and Kate who have a decades old friendship, starting from when they were 6 and going into their 80s. The book is told chronologically by their ages, and alternates between conversations (almost like a play) and traditional chapters.

Hazel and Josh first met in college but after a series of unfortunate (and embarrassing) incidents nothing more came of their friendship until years later when they reconnect. Now they’re hanging out, setting each other up on double dates so they’re dating yet not dating, right?! Because there is no depth ANYWHERE in this book, you actually don't care if they love or hate each other during the timeframe you're reading. Then, when there is a falling out, at times I was finding myself saying "why though?"

Personalised Children's Book, A Promise To You, Baptism Gift, Gift for Godchild, Grandchild, Gift for Niece Nephew, Personalized Story Book On the eve of 9/11, three women entering the U.S. Military Academy at West Point form an enduring friendship to see them through the years ahead. Dani, the star athlete determined to break barriers; Hannah, the Army brat guided by her faith; and Avery, the wild child pushing boundaries. Covering women in the military and the history of West Point as well as the post-9/11 years, Gibson’s debut novel has plenty to set it apart. Because the other half of my problem with this one is that it is VERY clearly marketed as a mystery/thriller...and once again, like so many others with a leading cover and blurb... thrilling it is not. The only event befitting of that sort of characterization happens when the book is almost over, and isn't particularly thrilling in the way it is presented. It didn't really matter 'whodunit' or even what the 'it' in whodunit was...I felt like it made very little impact on the relationship between Kate and Bella, and ostensibly, that's what this book is about.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to experience this author’s writing for the first time. Just because this wasn’t for me, doesn’t mean that there aren’t many others out there who’ll love it. Personalised Christmas Bauble For Best Friends, Christmas Ornament For Besties, Secret Santa Gift For Best Friends The narration by Antonia Beamish and Lucy Scott for 5 hours and 15 minutes was good, easy to follow at 2x.The “unpleasantness” I mentioned is actually what kept me reading at this point because the lead up to it wasn’t all that exciting to read and then the set up for the follow on seemed a bit contrived. The incident itself is the most convincing part of the book.

Although both girls are from the same milieu, Zahra is framed as having an “uncertain social position”. She is introspective and intellectual, compared with waggish, academically indifferent Maryam, who is destined to inherit the family fortune. Zahra makes it to Cambridge and pursues a career as the UK’s top civil liberties lawyer, while Maryam, who partly grows up in London, stays there to become a venture capitalist. The social media app she owns has a facial-tagging feature that poses a threat to the liberties for which Zahra is fighting. Nevertheless, both are nestled in the same smart set of celebrities, politicians, entrepreneurs.

As she works through her insecurities and undiagnosed depression, she worries about disappointing all the people who care about her. Is something wrong with her? Can she be the person everyone expects her to be? And who does she actually want to be? I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Macmillan Audio and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.Now some poems about terrible friends since we’ve all been there and done that. Hopefully these will serve as warnings for us in the future. How to Murder Your Best Friend by Anonymous Toxic friendships are fine as a plot line, but I really look for characters you can connect with. Bella and Kate, however, are just blah at best, a doormat and selfish at worst. This is a fun book where attraction and love arise (and surprise you!) after reconnecting with a friend.

Both main characters are what make this friends to lovers book such a great read. Alex is such a strong heroine while Eric is a caring friend who’s not ashamed to work their fake relationship to his favor.Since I am a dog lover and dog is humankind’s best animal friend, I naturally had to include some poems on the topic. Note: some are sad poems about lost friends. A Dog Has Died By Pablo Neruda These were two adults with real feelings that trusted each other enough to bare themselves, their insecurities and give the other person the opportunity to see the true them for better or worse and I was ALL for it. After successfully arranging the marriage of her governess, Emma Woodhouse sets out to expand on her matchmaking career. Immediately, her sights fall on Miss Harriet Smith, and Emma plans to find the perfect husband for her new pupil. Hijinks ensue as Emma finds matchmaking is not exactly her expertise. Along the way, Emma herself will discover love is not quite what she was expecting. The book opens around 1988 in a Karachi private school – with two best friends who have known each other almost their whole lives, but are now 14 ( “they were conscious they were in Class 10 now, old enough for the younger students to look up to them, and also at that stage where familiarity could start to replace deference in their relationship with the A level students”) and starting their O Levels ( “how well or badly you fared in the exams that waited two years down the line would determine the life altering matter of which American or British University would want you another two years after that”) – again little is left for the reader to deduce.
