About this deal

As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they each struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with. I was skeptical because usually when a romance is that short, the plot and romantic elements usually feel rushed. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs into the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she’d snuck out of. Liz and her mom would cuddle up with snacks and watch Bridgette Jone’s Diary and other fun romance movies while mom would dish out advice for her future like “never, ever go for the bad boys”. She lives in Nebraska with her husband and pack of wild children, and when she isn't reading or writing, odds are good she’s guzzling energy drinks and watching rom-coms.

Killers of the Flower Moon marked the first collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio since 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street. That initial project was followed by The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon, which is also based on a non-fiction book by Grann. After getting dumped by her long-time boyfriend and having an embarrassing one-night stand, Hallie decides to get her life together and join a dating app in the hopes of finding a date to her sister’s upcoming wedding. The actor-director team have worked together numerous times over the last 20 years, beginning with Gangs of New York, then on The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, and, most recently, The Wolf of Wall Street. Because as they pretend to be a couple, they struggle to remember why dating for real was a bad idea to begin with.

He grabbed the plate of nachos and slid it in front of her, because they both knew she loved selecting the first chip. I devoured it on a plane (the day Midnights released so it's all just a pastel haze of happiness for me) back in October, and I still think about Dominic ALL. Because as they pretend to be a couple, they struggle to remember why dating for real was a bad idea to begin with . The whole day was a dump including losing a much needed scholarship, hearing her parents are splitting up, and she totally caught her boyfriend cheating on her.

I think I DM'd the author WHILE I was reading that it should be marketed as "Emily Henry BUT GAY" and I still stand by that. When Emile wakes up in the morning she’s not sick from chocolate and it’s Valentine’s Day all over again. The 79-year-old director has firmly attached himself to the hull of Apple Original Films, who have secured for him the rights to the forthcoming non-fiction book The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder by David Grann, as per The Hollywood Reporter .Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first, but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scorsese and DiCaprio have already lined up their next collaboration to follow Apple's Killers of the Flower Moon. Wrong Number) provides the perfect rom-com escape in The Love Wager, a trope-driven romance that will remind readers, as they laugh themselves to tears, why they love the genre.

I thought Jack's act halfway through the book left a bad taste in my mouth and killed my like for this book for a while.

They text each other about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don’t go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward. Overall, The Love Wager was an enjoyable read and perfect for fans of books with the friends-to-lovers, fake dating, or “he falls first” tropes. Ivana Marie Zelníčková escaped from behind the Iron Curtain to storm New York City and help create the twisted miracle of Donald Trump. She has girlfriends, boy problems, a dad who really tries but really kinda fails, and her childhood crush has recently moved back to town. The line between friends and lovers starts to blur after Hallie enlists Jack to be her “fake” date to her sister’s wedding.Honestly, this book was so much fun and I can’t believe it took me this long to finally pick Lynn Painter. Wrong Number with an equally cute friends to lovers romance…Their equally filthy sense of humor makes their connection feel real and their game of constant one-upmanship is a lot of fun. Is it a contractual obligation, or is it some weird obsession with having the Super Petite Heroine barely reach the Uber Tall Hero's chest? Robertson’s mother was indigenous, and raised on a First Nations reserve, which has informed much of Robertson’s work over the years. Martin Scorsese has done just about everything with a camera, but he hasn’t done an Age of Sail picture.

Some might say she should grow up and stop randomly dozing off like she’s a toddler, but Lynn considers it part of her writing “process. Intending to leave town with her life savings in cash, she hadn’t put in a new bank, now smoldering along with all her other possessions, she’s forced to move back in with family. The new movie will be a re-teaming of Scorsese and Grann, who authored Killers of the Flower Moon, which is currently in post-production and eyeing a Cannes 2023 debut.This is probably the seventh book I've read over the past year where the heroine clocks in at this height.
