Books: The Breakaway & Secrets Never Die
Today we are recommending The Breakway by Jennifer Weiner. Working gig jobs instead of establishing a career and not sure she's happy in her relationship with the childhood sweetheart she met at Fat Camp, Abby is at a crossroads in her life. Always happiest riding her bike, she takes a job leading a group on a bike trip from NYC to Niagara Falls. However, it turns out to be much more than she bargained for when both Sebastian, the one-night stand, she can't forget, and her mother, a woman who could never accept Abby's size and has always pushed her to lose weight, join the trip.
This is a really lovely story full of lots of found family. The relationships formed between the people in the group and the way they grow to care about each other and be there for each other is really beautiful. The way Abby's relationships with Sebastian and her mother grow and change is very touching as well.
As a plus-size woman who is fairly comfortable with her size, Abby is a very admirable character. Her moments of doubt only make her that much more relatable. At first, Sebastian seems like a typical cad. When he becomes the one who gets shamed and becomes the subject of harsh public scrutiny, it is a unique and exciting twist. However, his character does grow and change a lot over the course of the book which is also nice to see. All in all, it's another winner from Weiner.
This story is both chilling and thrilling like a cross between a horror movie and a crime mystery. It is extremely compelling and hooks you in immediately and doesn't let go. The characters are interesting and the story is unique and satisfyingly unpredictable. It is quite an exciting ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Misc.: Technics AZ40 True Wireless Digital Wireless Stereo Earphones
Today we are recommending Technics AZ40 True Wireless Digital Wireless Stereo Earphones. At first, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of instructions that accompany these earbuds. However, they are easy to connect easy to use, and work well. However, if you are looking for a less expensive alternative than Airpods. This brand is only slightly cheaper.
And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
