Turns out, Judgmental Guy isn’t too mean—okay, he kind of still is. But he graduates to Elijah. I build an unlikely friendship with him which deems it necessary for him to start smiling around me and my kids. Deep down, instead of princes, I thought maybe every woman wanted gentle monsters. Someone strong—scary enough to keep all the bad things away—and gentle only to those he loved. I knew where I went wrong. I’d stumbled upon a faux prince, having never met a monster before. Monsters weren’t easy to approach, but princes came too easily. Maybe you had to deal with someone easy to learn what to do and not to do just in case a monster showed up. Don’t apologize. Never apologize to me. I want to be that shoulder you need to cry on.” He tapped it. “Go on, use me all you want.” Like I said, Elijah was a Grade-A ASSHOLE. The unsolicited comments he made and the assumptions he had about Hadley was so unwarranted! BUT – that’s what made his redemption arc all the more special. Trust me, don't give up on him! Despite Elijah’s aversion to kids in the beginning, he was the perfect family man – so dependable and loyal.

One Percent of You by Shantella Benson at S T a R Editing

The term percent is often attributed to Latin per centum, which means by a hundred. Actually, it is wrong. We got the term from Italian per cento — for a hundred. The percent sign % evolved by the gradual contraction of those words over centuries. Eventually, cento has taken the shape of two circles separated by a horizontal line, from which the modern % symbol is derived. The history of mathematical symbols is sometimes astonishing. We encourage you to take a look at the origin of the square root symbol! also lucy! i literally love her so much, definitely one of my favorite book children. it can be really easy for me to not like kids written in books but lucy… she was adorable. and her relationship with elijah!? so freaking cute. I wouldn't have finished this book, if not for a decent heroine (apart her weird taste in men) and her not forgiving her cheating ex, but not trashing him in front of their children. His expression turned somber as he drew. “I’m glad that happened. The thought of not knowing you guys.” He pointed to his chest slowly before rubbing it. “Hurts right here.”Percentage is one of many ways to express a dimensionless relation between two numbers (the other methods being ratios and fractions). Percentages are very popular since they can describe situations that involve large numbers (e.g., estimating chances for winning the lottery), averages (e.g., determining the final grade of your course), as well as very small ones (like the volumetric proportion of NO₂ in the air, also frequently expressed by PPM — parts per million). What starts out as a strong dislike, slowly morphs into friendship, mutual respect, and. . . something more? The stories are never going to end. That’s perfectly okay, though. We never want to stop an adventure.

One Percent of You by Michelle Gross | Goodreads

speaking of elijah… that man is fine! he's grumpy, tattooed, and owns a tattoo shop. what more could you possibly ask for?His cold, blunt observation of us doesn’t differ from any other stranger. He doesn’t know me, but he’s already painting a picture of who he thinks I am in his mind. He judges my very round belly, Lucy’s inability to leave him alone, the bags under my eyes, and the fact that I could not care less what I look like anymore. THE EMOTIONAL STRUGGLE Hadley had to go through was so believable! Having to trust someone again after being cheated on would always be difficult, but to add in a baby and a toddler would make it so much harder because it's not just you that could end up with your heart broken anymore In other words, the ratio of 25 males to students in the classroom is equivalent to 50% of students in the classroom being male. Percentage formula So, if Hadley was the soul of ONE PERCENT OF YOU, then Elijah was one thousand percent the heart of this magical story. Let me just say, I was not expecting to fall as deeply in love with Elijah, our slightly grumpy hero, as I did, but alas. . . here we are. I have a full blown crush on a fictional man. . . I guess I'll just add him to my future-husband-has-entered-the-chat shelf. For real though, you guys, Elijah was. . . well, simply put, Elijah was everything. He was gruff, tatted, and had a real bad boy vibe going on. He was also kinda goofy, extremely lovable, and bluntly honest to a hilarious degree. Additionally, the way he bonded with Lucy was so "awhhh" inducing that I almost couldn't sometimes. Moreover, the FUNYUNS® incident was so iconic and hilarious that I won't even tell you guys about it, because frankly it's something you need to experience firsthand. Deep down, instead of princes, I thought maybe every woman wanted gentle monsters. Someone strong—scary e ohhh to keep all the bad things away—and gentle only to those he loved.”
