If you have lost a parent you were very close to, or found yourself tempted by someone you work for, YOU may connect with this book more than her first, or more than I did. Jill Santopolo is the author of one of my favorite books, 'The Light We Lost' so I was very eager to get my hands on her latest novel. At times both emotional and romantic, this book was a fast-paced story about Nina Gregory, who has been raised by her father among New York City's elite. Her family owns a famous hotel and Nina has been in the spotlight since a very young age. It seems as though her entire life has been planned out for her since birth. Her father constantly reminds her of the making the right choices but Nina decides to work as a speechwriter for Rafael, a candidate for New York City mayor, before she spends the rest of her life working in the family business. And, if I may, a word of advice for fans of The Light We Lost, go in with an open mind. Nina’s might be a completely different journey from Lucy and Gabe’s, but it’s stunning in its own right.

This story follows Nina, the heiress to a hotel corporation. Her world is crashing around her as her father's health declines. She is thrust into a role she wasn't ready for, she's questioning her relationship with the man she always thought she'd have a future with, and she is discovering well-hidden secrets about her family. All the while, a connection is blooming between her and her ex-boss. The More Than Words guidebook makes it easy for you to "zero in" on your child's stage of communication so that you'll better understand his needs and abilities. The total word count of J.K. Rowling’s seven-book Harry Potter series is 1,084,625. That’s like reading David Foster Wallaces’s Infinite Jest (488,940) twice. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone There is a cutdown version of this book called "You Make The Difference In Helping Your Child Learn" by H. Ayala Manolson which covers the same ground more succinctly. Unless you find reading textbooks relaxing, or have a long solo train ride coming up, I recommend reading that one instead.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost comes a tender and moving new novel about a woman at a crossroads after the death of her father, and caught between the love of two men. This is told in 3rd person from Nina's perspective. And for some reason this kept throwing me off. Since the entire story was purely from her perspective it almost felt like it should have been 1st person. This totally may be a just-me thing though! Now we’ll move along to look at this list of 177 word counts of popular novels. Books that are 500,000+ words long What makes More Than Words strategies so powerful is that you can use them during the everyday routines you're already doing with your child. Published in the 1950s and released in five volumes, this historical novel, originally written in Tamil, tells the story of Arulmozhivarman, one of the kings of the Chola Dynasty, which ruled in the 10th and 11th centuries. It took Krishnamurthy three years and six months to write - it would probably take us about the same time to read it (not withstanding having to learn a new language).But when that day arrives, she realizes that she has been living her life to please her father instead of to please herself, and she learns a few things that may free her from taking the path her father has chosen for her. I had a difficult time drumming up the slightest bit of sympathy for this novel's main character, Nina Gregory. Must be terrible having two men in love with you. My heart bleeds.

This book contained a few tropes/topics I didn't love - insta-love and sex-shaming. And it was kind of hard for me to move past them.With all the "struggles" Nina faces, she occasionally comes out as self centered. I know I'm supposed to feel sympathy for her or something, but I didn't. She seemed extremely one was to me, almost as though she was just "undergoing the process" with everything instead of an character that comes to life with soul and emotion. Maybe it was simply how the character was written.
