When life isn't going the way you want it, sometimes faking it is the only way to go. The moment Lucy Harrington turned eighteen she followed her dream. She applied for a spot on The Next Big Model, walked away from her foster family of three years, and dropped out of high school. She’d had many challenges over the years, but nothing was going to get in the way of her destiny. Except maybe herself. Six months later Lucy’s living in a tiny apartment, working at The Pie Whole pizza restaurant and hoping no one recognizes her from the most publicly humiliating moment in her life. Unfortunately, not only is she recognized, it’s by none other than Dean Turner, the gorgeous rising star of the hit new show, Avondale. After a rocky start, Lucy and Dean agree to help one another. She needs to learn to move on and get her confidence back. He needs to learn that there’s more to life than just work and unwavering drive. When these two make a deal to challenge one another, neither realized how close they would become to achieving their dreams—and to one another. The price of fame is high, and Lucy and Dean are willing to do almost anything it takes to succeed. Will the pact that brought them together tear them apart? Lucy and the Love Pact is the second novel from Love in Ocean Grove, a series of books about swoony, first-time love, and toe-curling kisses for readers of all ages.

At sixteen, she'd grown up fast, having the responsibility of taking care of her mentally ill mother, holding down a job to pay the bills and dropping out of school to do both. When her case manager tells her she's being placed in foster care, Finley never expected her new home to be in the exclusive gated community and she certainly never thought she'd attend The Academy, a school for the privileged and elite. But the biggest surprise comes from down the hall. Her new foster brother, Chase Powell. Chase Powell grew up in the shadow of his famous model mother, living a life of fame and excess. After a dangerous accident, Chase is sent to live with his grandmother in Ocean Grove, where he settles into a life of normalcy and routine. Until Finley moves in. Late-night talks, a game of truth, and revelations about their fears bring these two closer together, but it’s not like they can ever be more than friends, and even if they could, does Finely worries that her whole life can be taken from her once again. What’s the point of falling in love?

Ever since, he’s been forced to wander through time looking for a woman known as The Curse Breaker, the one person in the universe capable of setting him free. Guided by an entity known as The Wise Woman, every twenty years Ryan returns to the site of the accident in hopes of meeting this mysterious Curse Breaker – assuming she really exists. Having moved back to her hometown, businesswoman Lucy McLaughlin has been saddled by her late father with a failing tourist railroad.

Though she does believe in Ryan and the instant chemistry that flares between them – even though he’s a man that was born over a hundred years ago! Can Ryan help Lucy save her business? More importantly, can Lucy figure out how to break the curse, and possibly keep Ryan in this time and place with her – forever?

Despite her prominence as an actress, fashionista, social activist and the "sexiest woman in the world," Scarlett Johansson has kept her life private. Her work ethic has been strong since her film debut in North (1994) at age 10. Then in 2003, Lost in Translation brought kudos and launched her adult career. While she never abandoned the independents, Johansson became a leading lady in very big films, including eight outings as former Russian assassin Black Widow thwarting alien incursions in The Avengers and other films in the Marvel Universe. This book surveys Johansson's life and films from childhood to her 2019 Academy Award nominations for Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story. Each film entry includes a plot synopsis, extracts from contemporary reviews, behind-the-scenes information, and the author's analysis of the film. Looked at in-depth are the three Woody Allen collaborations, her role as Black Widow, and the films in which she becomes "the other."

This book comprises a collection of articles devoted to the academic study of popular texts in English. Authors analyse genres which had been habitually looked down on by canonical approaches to literature and art. They take into serious consideration forms like horror literature, the gothic, fantasy, de-tective fiction, science fiction, best-sellers, films and television series of different kinds... among some other representations of what conservative scholars had been considering as marginal. The referential richness of the perspectives reflected here demonstrates that popular texts can be enjoyable for readers and audiences, at the same time that they can be significant in order to reach a better understanding of our culture and ourselves at the beginning of a new millennium.
