Loving anyone is the hardest thing we will ever do, it takes real work. Many in our age seem to believe that it just happens and then they live a life unloved wondering what is wrong with them. The fact of the matter is that love begins with the decisions we make about our own life and it continues with our outward actions toward others. Learning to love people is always hard; they are just so unlovable most of the time. Some place inside of us we want to love people but when we try we are often frustrated. The journey of love is deep and far and it will end up taking you to the very end of yourself but it is completely worth the effort. It is at the end of yourself that love is found and finally understood. You cannot buy it, sell it, hold it, own it, or even understand it… you can only receive it. So on that day you enter into its realm… be prepared to experience it… maybe for the very first time.

"A heartfelt and exciting debut...a wise and honest story of how it feels to be a young woman in search of yourself."—Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Malibu Rising The Bookish Life of Nina Hill meets Younger in a heartfelt debut following a young woman who discovers she'll have to ditch the "dream job" and write her own story to find her happy ending. Meet Nora Hughes—the overworked, underpaid, last bookish assistant standing. At least for now. When Nora landed an editorial assistant position at Parsons Press, it was her first step towards The Dream Job. Because, honestly, is there anything dreamier than making books for a living? But after five years of lunch orders, finicky authors, and per my last emails, Nora has come to one grand conclusion: Dream Jobs do not exist. With her life spiraling and the Parsons staff sinking, Nora gets hit with even worse news. Parsons is cutting her already unlivable salary. Unable to afford her rent and without even the novels she once loved as a comfort, Nora decides to moonlight for a rival publisher to make ends meet...and maybe poach some Parsons' authors along the way. But when Andrew Santos, a bestselling Parsons author no one can afford to lose is thrown into the mix, Nora has to decide where her loyalties lie. Her new Dream Job, ever-optimistic Andrew, or...herself and her future. Your next book club read touching on mental health, happiness, and the peaks and perils of being a young woman just trying to figure it all out. Nora Hughes is the perfect heroine for anyone looking to get past their own chapter twenty-something and build their storybook life. "A tender reflection on finding your person while you're still desperately searching for yourself."—KJ Dell'Antonia, New York Times bestselling author of The Chicken Sisters "A book for book lovers... It's impossible not to root for Nora!"—Jesse Q. Sutanto, National Bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties

An inspiring, hilarious memoir about learning to resist the pressures of conformity, love yourself for who you are, embrace your flaws, and unlock your true potential. Winner of the African American Literary Award for Memoir! Now cohost of Fox's The Real and SiriusXM's Café Mocha, Loni Love hasn't taken the typical path to becoming America's favorite straight-talking girlfriend and comedian. She was not the child of Hollywood legends and she never wore a size 00. Rather, she grew up in housing projects in Detroit, more worried about affording her next meal than going on a diet. When she moved to Hollywood after graduating college with an engineering degree, seeking to break out in the entertainment world, there was nothing that would convince her to eat the kale salads and quinoa bowls that her colleagues introduced her to, which looked to Love like "weeds my grandma used to pay me a dollar to pull from her yard." Still, despite the differences that set her apart in the status-driven world of entertainment where being thin, young, blond, and bubbly is sometimes considered a talent, Love spent years trying to fit in—trying to style her hair just so, dieting, dating the men she thought she was supposed to be with. In this book, she tells the uproariously funny story of how she overcame the trap of self-improvement and instead learned to embrace who she was. As Love writes, "There's a saying a lot of people live by: 'Fake it till you make it.' For me, it's always been 'fake it, and then have the whole thing blow up in your face.'" I Tried to Change So You Don't Have To explores all of the embarrassing mistakes, terrifying challenges, and unexpected breakthroughs that taught her how, by committing ourselves to our own path, we can take control of our destiny.

We all have got our journeys in life; some lead to destinations; others lead to a new beginning again, but everything ends up teaching something. Love is indeed very precious. In the walk of our lives, we come across many strangers with whom we share many moments. These are undoubtedly the one whom we love, and it becomes so arduous to understand when love happens by chance................... It feels so good to talk about a school love story, a story without a relation, where the two strangers, strangers even when they were well known to each other and continued to be a stranger, loved each other but believed in their Destiny. Shaurya, a nerd boy who just opposed his name's meaning, lacked the courage and courage to speak his heart. Time is his deadliest fear. Abhilasha, a lovely girl who was synonymous with the meaning of her name, was loved by all; happiness is her shadow... Both of them are busy accepting whatever is going on in their life, and their Destiny is still unjustified, which is desperate with many surprises. Waiting for years, the story is all about the unexpected that happened in their life. And finally, one question which strikes corner to corner in their heart and mind, "WHAT MATTERS"....
