Book Description

“[An] absorbing novel that will appeal to fans of Rainbow Rowell.” —Booklist “A poignant and carefully crafted story.” —School Library Journal “A gorgeous, sad, funny, and wise book about letting go and finding your place in the world.” —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces Parker struggles to reconnect with her twin brother, Charlie—who’s recovering from cancer—as she tries to deal with her anxiety about the future in this powerful new novel. Twins Parker and Charlie are polar opposites. Where Charlie is fearless, Parker is careful. Charlie is confident while Parker aims to please. Charlie is outgoing and outspoken; Parker is introverted and reserved. And of course, there’s the one other major difference: Charlie got cancer. Parker didn’t. But now that Charlie is officially in remission, life couldn’t be going better for Parker. She’s landed a prestigious summer internship at the hospital and is headed to Harvard in the fall to study pediatric oncology—which is why the anxiety she’s felt since her Harvard acceptance is so unsettling. And it doesn’t help that her relationship with Charlie has been on the rocks since his diagnosis. Enter Finn, a boy who’s been leaving strange graffiti messages all over town. Parker can’t stop thinking about those messages, or about Finn, who makes her feel free for the first time: free to doubt, free to make mistakes, and free to confront the truth that Parker has been hiding from for a long time. That she keeps trying to save Charlie, when the person who really needs saving is herself.

Book Description

Average is boring. Average is stressful with very little reward. Yet, many people are confined to living an average life because they don't know how to think and act bigger. All they are left with is that annoying word they have failed to live up to....potential. So, how do you take your life and your lifestyle to the next level? By blaming yourself and taking ACTION with proven methods. Defy Gravity: Unleashing Your Greatness Within is a straight-forward and honest guide for those eager to tap into their gifts and embark on the journey to personal and professional greatness. Entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs and individuals of all backgrounds are encouraged to throw away the excuses and take a closer look in the mirror for self-analysis, and to develop the mindset and habits required to achieve massive success. While many books on success and personal development suggest that people focus on obtaining something they don't already have, Ivan Thomas emphasizes that people should look inside to summon the power they already possess. Readers will learn key steps to taking personal accountability for their position in life, discovering and uncovering their gifts, eliminating distractions, avoiding dream killers, and launching into the purposeful life they've always desired. Ivan, an entrepreneur, celebrity publicist and author has personally launched successful businesses and has helped others to do the same. However, before that was possible, he had to eliminate complacency, get rid of the doubters and haters, and decide that fulfilling his dreams was not optional, but a necessity. Here, he shares valuable wisdom and insight, personal stories and powerful examples of resilience from some of the world's most accomplished and rising individuals.
