![]() ![]() i can't give it more than a 3.5 because it didn't make me feel anything mind-blowing, just a pretty basic cute love story. Jasmine Santos and Max are the prominent characters of the story. Mariana Zapata is the author of this tremendous novel. also i don't really love spicy scenes.but still ivan was so sweet and understanding and they were cute together. From Lukov with Love is the romantic, literature, thriller and fiction novel which plots the story of a young woman who has breakup after four years of relationship. how could you even say friends kiss on the lips from time to time to comfort each other. i kinda don't like how jasmine is such a bitch to everybody but is STILL. ![]() the romance was pretty cute, i love ivan lukov and they are SOOO cute together. the whole "if i don't win then i lose" is really relatable for figure skating and the feeling of being a loser that jasmine has is completely understandable. From Lukov with Love was an adorable read that focuses on accepting your dreams and building relationships with family and the people around you. i really wanted to give it more because i LOVE figure skating with my whole heart, and even if you could clearly see mariana zapata did not take part in a figure skating competition, there's still some good representation of the pain and struggles that you actually have to go through to become a famous figure skater. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() OK, we admit that a book about a book about housework and taking care of kids doesn't sound like the most exciting thing on the shelf. They come together to publish a book of anonymously written stories about the experiences of black women working as maids for white families in Jackson. Three women – two black, one white – narrate the novel in alternating chapters. Set in racially segregated Jackson, Mississippi (Stockett's hometown), in the early stages of the Civil Rights Movement, The Help begins in August 1962 and ends in late 1964. So yeah, we'd say she fared well with her first novel. In case that isn't enough for you, it was also a huge hit on the silver screen, exploding box offices in 2011. Apparently, others are fans as well – by our count The Help spent an impressive two years on the New York Times Best Sellers list. The Help, first published in 2009, is the (rather impressive, in our humble opinion) debut novel by American writer Kathryn Stockett. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In fairness, however, his cheapness is all to blame for which as he deep down does care about SpongeBob, and his daughter Pearl at heart. Those continuous traits overtime serve him as an antagonistic or yet, an outright villainous character on multiple occasions. He has been shown mistreating his employees as slaves and using them for personal and financial gain, serving no consideration for almost anyone (including his own daughter) unless money is involved, and is shown to show absolutely no respect for Plankton at his most harmless, even if it means driving him to suicide for his own amusement. Krabs is frequently known for having a villainous side throughout the series' run, and can even be seen as the main antagonist in several episodes. He is the money-obsessed founder of the Krusty Krab and just like Spongebob, he is business rivals with Plankton.Īlthough he is one of the series protagonists, Mr. Krabs, is a major character in Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants franchise. ![]() ![]() We have privacy in a cabaret…What does it matter if an unsavory Irish politician is carrying on a dull and noisy flirtation with the little blonde at the table behind us? We don’t have to listen we are with people whose conversation we find amusing. What does it matter if the flapper and her fattish boy friend are wriggling beside us as we dance? We like our partner and the flapper likes hers, and we don’t bother each other. We go to cabarets because of the very fastidiousness that Our Elders find so admirable a quality. ![]() Mackay was the daughter of a Catholic multi-millionaire, Clarence McKay, who was threatening to disinherit his daughter because of her romance with Jewish songwriter Irving Berlin.

He is erudite, witty and full of good will toward men. It is quite evident the man truly had a beautiful mind.
