Book excerpt: Abby’s big break-up just went viral. When Abby Boyko agrees to go on a morning TV show as part of a Valentine’s Day special, she’s in for a big surprise. Instead of promoting their new phone app, her business partner—and boyfriend—breaks up with her on live TV. Then the video goes viral. Now Abby’s lost her relationship, her fledgling business, and her self-esteem. Still reeling from the humiliation, Abby would prefer to stay swaddled in her cozy colourful apartment with her rescue cat, Oscar—but determined to develop a competing app, she arranges a meeting with tech genius, Mason Harrington. From the moment he saw Abby's video, Mason's gentle heart was filled with sympathy for her. He can't believe he's getting a chance to actually help her. Unfortunately, his nervous awkwardness makes their first encounter a complete disaster when he accidentally makes her cry, insults her business idea, and harasses her. But what Mason lacks in suaveness, he makes up for in determination. He's going to apologize and make things right. Can he be the knight in wrinkled Dockers who helps Abby heal her broken heart? My Viral Valentine is the first book in the Holiday Hat Trick trilogy. These romcoms feature three close girlfriends, crazy hijinks in the pursuit of love, and beer league hockey—all set in the wintry capital city of Ottawa. Each story is set around a holiday.

Download or read book The Secret Rapture and Other Plays written by David Hare and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of five plays from the Tony Award–winning playwright and screenwriter, “the premiere political dramatist writing in English” (The Washington Post). David Hare, “Britain’s leading contemporary playwright,” has established a unique reputation for plays that are at once personal and political, deeply serious and incredibly funny (The Times). He is the author of seventeen plays, many of which have been presented on Broadway. Included in this collection are Fanshen; A Map of the World; Saigon: Year of the Cat; The Bay at Nice; and The Secret Rapture. Of the title play, Frank Rich of The New York Times said, “The Secret Rapture has gone further than before in marrying political thought to the compelling drama of lives that refuse to conform to any ideology’s utopian plan . . . Mr. Hare embraces the human, messy though it may be.” Praise for David Hare Fanshen “The nearest any English contemporary writer has come to emulating Brecht.” —Financial Times A Map of the World “Mr. Hare’s A Map of the World, which passionately embraces utopia without arrogantly presuming to annex it, is original and provocative.” —The New York Times Saigon “An impressive new film which vividly captures the last desperate days in Vietnam as the Reds laid siege to the sweltering city.” —Daily Express The Bay at Nice “Witty, cerebral, and full of fine-spun ironies.” —The Guardian The Secret Rapture “His writing, as always, is smart, and this time, glorious. The characters are unhackneyed and complex; the insights are tough and hard to ignore.” —New York Newsday

Book excerpt: Sophie wants to enjoy sex and explore her sexuality, but life doesn’t seem to be as fulfilling as she had hoped it would be when she was younger. Monotony and mediocrity seem to dominate her existence. Rather than wait for things to change, Sophie decides to change them on her own terms and in her own time. We follow Sophie Valentine as she takes control. We watch her grow in confidence and launch herself into new and exciting opportunities in all areas of her life. Sophie manages to negotiate some of the constraints and expectations that society puts on her without the wholesale dramatic and damaging changes associated with a midlife crisis. Sophie revitalizes her marriage in many ways, starting with improving her sex life as she experiments with desires, fantasies, and taboos. Sex becomes more fun and interesting than she could ever have imagined. Her new-found confidence encourages her to progress her career, which had previously been a series of failures and false starts. This book follows her as she begins to understand her value and asserts herself where she would previously have stayed quiet. This is the story of the adventures, setbacks, and successes as Sophie Valentine becomes the person she wants to be. Her greatest challenge is figuring out exactly who that is…..

Download or read book Sofia Coppola written by Hannah Strong and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated critical survey of Academy Award–winning writer and director Sofia Coppola’s career, covering everything from her groundbreaking music videos through her latest films In the two decades since her first feature film was released, Sofia Coppola has created a tonally diverse, meticulously crafted, and unapologetically hyperfeminine aesthetic across a wide range of multimedia work. Her films explore untenable relationships and the euphoria and heartbreak these entail, and Coppola develops these themes deftly and with discernment across her movies and music videos. From The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette to Lost in Translation and The Beguiled, Coppola’s award-nominated filmography is also unique in how its consistent visual aesthetic is informed by and in conversation with contemporary fine art and photography. Sofia Coppola offers a rich and intimate look at the overarching stylistic and thematic components of Coppola's work. In addition to critical essays about Coppola's filmography, the book will include interviews with some of her closest collaborators, including musician Jean-Benoît Dunckel and costume designer Nancy Steiner, along with a foreword by Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher. It engages with her creative output while celebrating her talent as an imagemaker and storyteller. Along the way, readers meet again a cast of characters mired in the ennui of missed connections: loneliness, frustrated creativity, rebellious adolescence, and the double-edged knife of celebrity, all captured by the emotional, intimate power of the female gaze.
