Their intimate moments were both swoonworthy and hot. I also liked how well they understood each other and just wanted to make each other happy. I liked how Oliver was so completely loyal, protective, and trusting. I appreciated how Cooper was determined to be a better person for Oliver (although Oliver loved him just the way he was), to show Oliver how much he loved him and how much Oliver made him happy, and to be more affectionate. I enjoyed the new developments in Cooper and Oliver's relationship. When I finally got around to reading this, I couldn't put it down and read it in one day. Fast-paced and incredibly romantic as always. I have read them all, and loved them equally. This was another fun entry in the series. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Author of billy bathgate![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.

As planet-bound animals, we live inside shortening and lengthening days alongside gardens growing, birds migrating, and cliffs eroding the stretchy quality of waiting and desire the way the present may suddenly feel marbled with childhood memory the slow but sure procession of a pregnancy the time it takes to heal from injuries. This dazzling, subversive, and deeply hopeful book offers us different ways to experience time-inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological cues, and geological timescales-that can bring within reach a more humane, responsive way of living. Odell shows us how our painful relationship to time is inextricably connected not only to persisting social inequities but to the climate crisis, existential dread, and a lethal fatalism. This is why our lives, even in leisure, have come to seem like a series of moments to be bought, sold, and processed ever more efficiently. ![]() In order to answer this seemingly simple question, Odell took a deep dive into the fundamental structure of our society and found that the clock we live by was built for profit, not people. ![]() But what if you don’t have time to spend?

Essentially, the book is a social satire with romance the movie is more of a rom-com with social satire. Because a two-hour movie can’t contain everything that a novel describes, the movie does cut or otherwise simplify a lot of the book’s secondary story lines, focusing in on Rachel and Nick’s romance, which gets a lot more, well, cinematic. The protagonist Rachel Chu, an American-born NYU professor, wasn’t turned white, as s ome producers initially suggested, and her boyfriend Nick Young’s crazy-rich extended family acts in pretty much the same way that they do in the book series.
