Calypso's mum died a few years ago and her emotionally incompetent Dad can't, or won't, talk about Mum at all. Instead he throws himself into writing his book A History of the Lemon. Meanwhile the house is dusty, there's never any food in the fridge, and Calypso retreats into her own world of books and fiction. When a new girl, Mae, arrives at school, the girls' shared love of reading and writing stories draws them together. Mae's friendship and her lively and chaotic home - where people argue and hug each other - make Calypso feel more normal than she has for a long time. But when Calypso finally plucks up the courage to invite Mae over to her own house, the girls discover the truth about her dad and his magnum opus - and Calypso's happiness starts to unravel.

"When Life Hands You Cactuses, Make Margaritas" highlights my life's journey and the many ups and downs I have experienced - from the day I was born as a child of war in Lebanon through today, a 42-year-old mom living with the deadly Stage 4, Metastatic Breast Cancer. My story is about experiencing war as a child, fleeing Lebanon on a smugglers boat, being an immigrant in Sweden, my fight for female independence from the patriarchal and conservative home I grew up in, my three love stories, my heartbreak, my longing for a child, my struggle with infertility, my surviving breast cancer twice by the age of 30 only to receive a death sentence at 37, my fun, successful career and how I achieved my dreams in the male-dominated tech industry, and how after 15 years of trying I became a mother at last. It's about my joy and passion for living life like there is no tomorrow and like I'm gonna live forever. Throughout the years I've learned how to handle these challenges, survive and thrive from them, instead of laying down and giving up. I'm therefore including my 8 Ingredient Margarita Recipe on how to overcome challenges and thrive in life. The Ingredients are: RESILIENCE CONFIDENCE LOVE FEAR CHANGE UNFUCKWITHABLE HOPE EMPOWERMENT So, why am I writing a book about my life? This book is for me, my son, and it's for you. Me, because I need to cherish and celebrate the life I have had and still have before it is taken from me. My son, because he will most likely lose me way too soon. I believe hearing my story in my words will help him face and manage his grief. And you, because maybe, just maybe, you will find inspiration from my journey and ways to handle your own challenges in life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“The Devil Wears Prada’s Emily Charlton gets the spin-off she deserves” (Cosmopolitan) in the months-long New York Times bestseller from Lauren Weisberger in which three women team up to bring a bad man down in the tony suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut. Welcome to Greenwich, Connecticut, where the lawns and the women are perfectly manicured, the Tito’s and sodas are extra strong, and everyone has something to say about the infamous new neighbor. Let’s be clear: Emily Charlton does not do the suburbs. After leaving Miranda Priestly, she’s been working in Hollywood as an image consultant to the stars, but recently, Emily’s lost a few clients. She’s hopeless with social media. The new guard is nipping at her heels. She needs a big opportunity, and she needs it now. When Karolina Hartwell, a gorgeous former supermodel, is arrested, her fall from grace is merciless. Her senator-husband leaves her, her Beltway friends disappear, and the tabloids pounce. In Karolina, Emily finds her comeback opportunity. But she quickly learns Greenwich is a world apart and that this comeback needs a team approach. So it is that Emily, the scorned Karolina, and their mutual friend Miriam, a powerful attorney turned stay-at-home mom, band together to navigate the social land mines of suburban Greenwich and win back the hearts of the American public. Along the way, an unexpected ally emerges in one Miranda Priestly. With her signature wit, Lauren Weisberger offers an alluring look into a sexy, over-the-top world—and proves it’s style and substance together that gets the job done. “A delicious sequel to The Devil Wears Prada…exploring what it’s like to be a woman buffeted by conflicting messages about career, relationships, and motherhood” (The Washington Post), When Life Gives You Lululemons is “amazing novel about…truth, lies and how everyone is a little bit insecure” (Associated Press). “Fast-paced, funny, and gossipy, this is the must-have accessory for your beach bag” (PopSugar).
