Once inseparable childhood friends, Liv and Jake were torn apart by a cruel rumor spun by Heather, leaving wounds that time couldn't quite heal. But when fate unexpectedly reunites Liv and Jake, a chance touch propels them into an alternate reality-a vision of the life they might have shared if they had stayed connected. Caught in a whirlwind of nostalgia and "what ifs," Liv and Jake must confront the echoes of their shared history and the lingering feelings they buried long ago. As they navigate the bittersweet terrain of lost dreams and untapped potential, they grapple with the haunting question: can they reconcile the past with the present, or are some wounds too deep to mend? In this poignant tale of love, friendship, and second chances, Could've Been explores the fragile threads that bind us to our past and the resilience it takes to embrace the uncertain future. Will Liv and Jake find the courage to rewrite their story, or will the echoes of yesterday forever haunt their hearts?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly career absorbed and independent, Jo Porter strongly fervors in Coordinating tradeshows and confexes. At 25, amongst other personal achievements, Jo has travelled the country to its depth. She has met and interacted with the Who's Who's of the exhibitions industry. She has earned a fair-share of recognitions. As a result of her career absorbent trait, she's lost a substantial relationship over her job. A woman whom she believed was the love of her life, Nicole Kennard (the could've been). The story unfolds as we follow Jo's path after the break up with Nicole. She starts a casual fling with a triumphant, classy and dashy Kathleen Montgomery (the forbidden); which ultimately turns in to one enormous roller-coaster than just a fling. The last thing she expected to happen, was falling in love with Kath. Flaw begins when Kath gets married to her long-lasting boyfriend. As an attempt of getting over this, Jo fully focuses her attention to her career, and she progresses big. The heartbreak causes her to be the new player in town, completely closing every possible room to give anyone else a privilege of being with her. Even with the tempering and super appealing Megans, Phyllis's and Charnels (the adventures in between) of this world, Porter swears off the matters of the heart and will certainly not allow room for attachments; due to her stinging experience in that component. But then, what happens when the spectacular and now very married Kath Montgomery comes back to town, and declares her undying love for Jo, all over...

We belong together and there's no use denying it any longer. But our feelings aren't the only thing that won't stay buried, our past resurfaces and threatens to destroy our second chance at happiness.

Download or read book The Book of Mac written by Donna-Claire Chesman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An album-by-album celebration of the life and music of Mac Miller through oral histories, intimate reflections, and critical examinations of his enduring work. “One of my most vivid memories of him is the way he would look at you while he was playing you a song. He tried to look you right in the eyes to see how you were feeling about it.” —Will Kalson, friend and first manager Following Mac Miller’s tragic passing in 2018, Donna-Claire Chesman dedicated a year to chronicling his work through the unique lens of her relationship to the music and Mac’s singular relationship to his fans. Like many who’d been following him since he’d started releasing mixtapes at eighteen years old, she felt as if she’d come of age alongside the rapidly evolving artist, with his music being crucial to her personal development. “I want people to remember his humanity as they’re listening to the music, to realize how much bravery and courage it takes to be that honest, be that self-aware, and be that real about things going on internally. He let us witness that entire journey. He never hid that.” —Kehlani, friend and musician. The project evolved to include intimate interviews with many of Mac’s closest friends and collaborators, from his Most Dope Family in Pittsburgh to the producers and musicians who assisted him in making his everlasting music, including Big Jerm, Rex Arrow, Wiz Khalifa, Benjy Grinberg, Just Blaze, Josh Berg, Syd, Thundercat, and more. These voices, along with the author’s commentary, provide a vivid and poignant portrait of this astonishing artist—one who had just released a series of increasingly complex albums, demonstrating what a musical force he was and how heartbreaking it was to lose him. “As I’m reading the lyrics, it’s crazy. It’s him telling us that he hopes we can always respect him. I feel like this is a message from him, spiritually. A lot of the time, his music was like little letters and messages to his friends, family, and people he loved, to remind them of who he really was.” —Quentin Cuff, best friend and tour manager

Download or read book Omnivores A Novel written by Lydia Millet and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lydia Millet’s debut novel, first published in 1996, is an explosive satire that scorches our culture’s monstrous men and institutions. In a claustrophobic, surreal California house, teenager Estée Kraft lives with her domineering father, whose obsession with insect taxonomy bleeds into sadism. As his schemes multiply, Estée’s bedridden mother, entranced by the glow of the shopping channel, remains oblivious to the escalating chaos. Estée manages to escape her childhood home only to find new horrors awaiting her in marriage and motherhood. In a climactic twist, her traumas take form in flesh and blood—a legacy of the voracious male appetites that have haunted her life. With acerbic wit, philosophical depth, and enthralling lyricism, Omnivores cuts to the core of America’s hypocrisies and anxieties, and introduced Lydia Millet as one of the wildest satirists of our time.
