About this deal

This quote may not be in the published version of this novel, it was copied from the advanced reader’s copy.

Mourning her mother, neglected by her father, and rejected by her first-ever girlfriend, Jaya is a vividly sketched, relatable character whose brave decisions encourage readers to embrace life and be true to themselves.

Depicted in its natural habitat, the starfish is tangled between custom-cut diamonds that evoke scintillating rocks adorning the sea floor. There were also a lot of elements about it that read true to teen relationships and how wildly messy they can be. Honouring this legacy, Blue Book 2023: Out of the Blue—designed by Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille—both perpetuates and reinvents the aquatic worlds that he dreamt up.

It just wasn't one that I could connect to or get invested in, and the intense focus on sex was alienating and off putting. Both the Viking myths of Iceland’s forefathers and the cutting-edge modern world of the country today are brilliantly alive in these remarkable and original stories.

Out of the Blue reads like a series of lively dreams, by turns magical and stoic and strange, and each sensational.

In a very blue house on a very blue street, sits a little boy who feels as blue as the world around him.

Out Of The Blue is just as much an internal story about healing and finding peace within, as it is a story about angels that fall from the sky. The book is split into two parts, with the first detailing Truss's early life and path to the premiership and the second recounting her seven weeks as prime minister. And that's where this relationship fell apart for me -- I saw very little romance, just physicality-presented-as-love. The book's blurb described it as about "the rise of the geeky teenage Lib Dem who transformed into the queen of the Brexiteers". Also a poet, he has published nine poetry collections, written four opera librettos and lyrics for various artists.

As a teen I enjoyed when my YA books had sex because it was like wow enlightening, so I can’t really comment on if it’s good or bad (I know there’s been debate). With unrivalled access and insight, award-winning political journalists Harry Cole and James Heale provide the answers, drawing on interviews with Truss's friends and supporters, as well as her worst critics and rivals, from Kwasi Kwarteng to Michael Gove. In Los Angeles with a human body and a new name, Crest meets Sean, a human lifeguard whose boyfriend has recently dumped him.This extraordinary collection, the first anthology of Icelandic short fiction published in English translation, features work by twenty of Iceland’s most popular and celebrated living authors—including Andri Snær Magnason, Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Kristín Ómarsdóttir, and Auður Jónsdóttir—granddaughter of Halldór Laxness, who won the 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Jellyfish brooch—handcrafted over the span of 900 hours—is imbued with a sense of movement, expressing the jellyfish’s unique dance through cutting-edge craftsmanship. This sophomore novel from Jason June dives into the many definitions of the word home and shows how love can help us find the truest versions of ourselves.
