![]() ![]() Loved- seriously everyone needs to hear this audio!!ĮDITED TO ADD: It’s five years later and I’m reading this story again after watching the Tokyo 2020 Olympics which were held over till 2021 with the world pandemic. I felt all the emotions in this book!! Also I am wondering if the Ms Quinn is setting up for some future stories from some of the secondary characters because there were at least 3 characters that I'd love to hear more from especially fellow swimmer Bodhi. ![]() I love that Reece is a swimmer and the Olympics scene made me tear up.

So glad that I listened to this one as an audiobook as the narrators did a fantastic job portraying these characters!! I had so many laugh out loud moments, most revolving around Paisley's awkward moments, that quickly turned hysterical. Great as a love story alone, but also made me laugh until I cried. ![]() ![]() Some notable science-fiction authors by date of birth are in alphabetical order: A Catherine Asaro Robert A. ![]() Most science-fiction authors write as novelists or short-story writers, and in the 21st century, often as playwrights or screen writers.

They are my greatest impact and deepest joy. ![]() I chose to have children because I wanted them. ![]() He owned his desires, which had a great deal to do with male privilege. I wanted to be like my father, who through force of personality made his interests seem cool. Does that make them wrong? Or make us less successful? I did not want to be a stay-at-home mother, because I perceived mothers as supportive and self-effacing.

And we don’t want them to say, Look how far we’ve come, just forty years ago it would have been illegal for us to even be a couple blah blah blah, because you know what we’re thinking when they say that?
