In this twisty, compelling thriller, a young woman quickly embarks on what she thinks is the relationship and love of a lifetime, and she's thrilled when her new husband insists they follow one rule: they don't talk about the past, but it's a rule that has dangerous consequences--perfect for fans of A Simple Favor and The Kiss Quotient.&nbsp;&nbsp; Is her new husband hiding something?&nbsp; Caught up in a whirlwind romance that starts in sunny Ibiza and leads to the cool corridors of a luxurious English country estate, Poppy barely has time to catch her breath, let alone seriously question if all this is too good to be true. Drew is enamored, devoted, and, okay, a little mysterious--but that's part of the thrill. What's the harm in letting his past remain private?&nbsp; Maybe he's not the only one...&nbsp; Fortunately, Drew never seems to wonder why his young wife has so readily agreed to their unusual pact to live only in the here and now and not probe their personal histories. Perhaps he assumes, as others do, that she is simply swept up in the intoxication of infatuation and sudden wealth. What's the harm in letting them believe that?&nbsp; How far will they go to keep the past buried?&nbsp; Isolated in Drew's sprawling mansion, Poppy starts to have time to doubt the man she's married, to wonder what in his past might be so terrible that it can't be spoken of, to imagine what harm he might be capable of. She doesn't want this dream to shatter. But Poppy may soon be forced to confront the dark truth that there are sins far more dangerous than the sin of omission...

Two Wrongs

With the number of infants and toddlers in group care increasing, this work aims to offer a timely contribution to early childhood learning practises. Expanding on the idea of curriculum as a dynamic, responsive experience rather than a rigid learning structure, the authors stress the need for education along with nurturing for very young children. They focus on play as the basis for curriculum and show how infant/toddler ""educarers"" can combine theory and practice taking into account both the physical and social environments. Through case descriptions of actual children, this volume discusses how to accommodate children with different development levels, backgrounds, personalities, and special needs. Finally, the authors explore ways to enhance curriculum quality.

The Power of Rude

Self-Help

Trapeze

A timely, intelligent, and entertaining exploration of why ambitious women are often perceived as rude and how the power of rudeness can be harnessed in relationships, in bed, at work, and in everyday life--from journalist Rebecca Reid. During a TV interview with a comedian, Rebecca Reid found herself unable to get a word in edgewise. So, when she put her finger to her lips and shushed him, she became instantly known on the internet as "Rebecca Rude." It was only then that she realized that being rude could actually be her superpower. A captivating blend of advice and pop culture, Rude will show you how to utilize the power of boldness in every area of your life. Exploring famous women who have been perceived as rude--including Princess Margaret, Anna Wintour, Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, and others--this book demonstrates how those women used their "rudeness" to get what they want--and deserve--out of life. Reid also addresses whether there are different rules of rudeness for women compared to men (yes, there are) and how being taught not to be rude actually prevents women from being successful--especially because when women are assertive, they are often judged as being aggressive. And while there's a place for politeness, Rebecca argues that it's never a bad time to stand up for yourself to achieve your dreams.

Product Description A timely and entertaining exploration of why ambitious women are often perceived as rude and how the power of rudeness can be harnessed in relationships, in bed, at work, and in everyday life.During a TV interview with a comedian, journalist Rebecca Reid found herself unable to get a word in edgewise. So, when she put her finger to her lips and shushed him, she became instantly known on the internet as “Rebecca Rude.” It was only then that she realized that being rude could actually be her superpower. A captivating blend of advice and pop culture, this “breezy feminist guide” (Publishers Weekly) shows you how to use the power of boldness in every area of your life. Exploring famous women who have been perceived as rude—including Princess Margaret, Anna Wintour, Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, and others—Rude demonstrates how those women used their “rudeness” to get what they want and deserve out of life.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter 1: RUDE to Your Friends THE RIGHT KIND OF Rude to Your Friends Your friends are some of the hardest people to be rude to, especially if you’ve known them for a long time and set the expectation that you will behave in a certain way. However, good friends will be understanding (if a little surprised) when you announce a regime change.It’s normal for friendships to ebb and flow. It is not your responsibility to keep every single one of your friendships in perfect harmony at all times.Friendships should involve give-and-take. If you come away from every meeting feeling drained, having only talked about the other person, then that friendship is not working for you.When your friends have children, it will change their lives. You are not obligated to completely change yours, unless you want to.A little bit of bitching and gossiping is normal—women have been socialized to talk about each other rather than to each other. That said, if you are constantly expressing the same frustrations about the same person, that’s a compass for your true feelings about them and you should follow it.Sometimes friendships need breakups, just like romantic relationships do.Friendship groups where everyone gets along brilliantly and you’re all equally close to one another are fiction. Liberate yourself from that aspiration and you’ll feel a whole lot freer.You are not an unpaid therapist and if someone is using you as such, you have the right to set boundaries.That said, you should expect people to mirror the boundaries you set for them. Being rude doesn’t mean being unreasonable, and you can’t do the three a.m. “Why doesn’t he love me?” call if you’ve told your girlfriends that you will have friendship office hours between eleven and one on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
