There’s filthy words, sex games and scorching hot claiming as the beast captures his prey. or salvation, for two totally screwed-up souls. and the sadistic moods and lust-filled looks makes Sebastian’s bitter beast roar with revenge darkening the turbulent skies foretelling doom. As Sebastian and Naomi circle each other, their explosive kinky attraction and chemistry flares. It’s a danger-filled world of secrets, enemies, walls, invisible boundaries, blurred lines, Mafia treachery, power-plays, mind games, misconception, malicious moves. but it’s a very different world for both of them. After the brutal and bloody cliffhanger that ended book one, it will be seven years before Sebastian and Naomi will come face to face again. And today I really didn’t think this genius of an author could do much to up her game in this book. I spent yesterday shocked and in awe at the unpredictable, uniquely twisted, demonically dark and unapologetically flawed relationship that developed between twenty one yr old Blackwood College Seniors Sebastian and Naomi after the dare in Book 1. ![]()

"Write something about a music legend," Earle reports that the publisher urged. On the surface, this volume is Earle's response to his publisher's request for a book-length story similar in tone and themes to his collection of short stories, Doghouse Roses. I've marveled at this gift for years, first in his songs, then in his short stories.

Three things made this book shine for me. ![]() And I have spent the last week trying to work out why not. This, together with the superficiality of so much of the action (sex, coffee, booze, self-pitying whining about his mother, more coffee, and more sex) should have turned me against Love in the Big City. Also, the narrator is infuriatingly self-absorbed, seeming to regard other human beings as being there mainly for his convenience and amusement, and curiously incapable of empathy with them. ![]() Loosely autobiographical, the novel follows Young, a young gay man living in Seoul in the Noughties, as he studies, works, falls in and out of love and lust, makes friends, defines himself in relation to his controlling mother, and negotiates the rigid social structure of his homeland. As a translator, I am always interested in how writing reinvents itself in a different language and, given the profound linguistic and cultural differences between South Korea and the anglophone world, I was as keen to see how translator Anton Hur dealt with the text as I read Sang Young Park’s debut novel, Love in the Big City.Īlthough I should, in theory, identify with “queer lit”, it is not a genre which has particularly drawn me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Inside the studio, work wasn’t nearly as happy as it was for the seven miners whose worst worry was bad housekeeping. Friedman’s The Disney Revolt, an engaging and vital addition that appeals beyond the bounds of much labor history. The behind-the-scenes conflict very effectively laid out in Jake S. But that animated happiness was created by hundreds of animators working long hours, often at low pay with no job security, leading animators to seek protection in collective organizing. The studio became not just one of the pre-eminent animation studios, but major film studios internationally, rising to fame during the Depression, when temporary relaxation in front of the silver screen was one of the few affordable releases from the incessant deprivation. Disney sold millions of tickets presenting that animated air of happiness. So sang Snow White as she tidied up the Seven Dwarves’ cottage in the Disney Studio’s ground-breaking and blockbuster full-length animated feature, with the help of many smiling, eager (and one presumes unpaid) forest animals.

Her sparring with Rose was also super funny to see on the page, and watching them work out their dynamic was really fascinating. I've never done that in my life before, so that's how you know how much I was anticipating this one! I enjoyed such a pleasant reading experience, laughing along with all of Elliot's antics, her internal monologues, her footnotes (which I'll talk more about in a second), and just all of the chaos and awkward situations she finds herself in. I was so excited for my ARC of FRESH to arrive that I did something I'd never done before - when it arrived, I stopped in the middle of the book that I was currently reading to dive right into it. It was so hysterical, and also so different than any other book I've ever read. So just as a heads up, a majority of this review is going to be incoherent fangirling and flailing. I don't even have proper words for how much I loved this book. ![]() |
