Book Description
One of E! News' 13 Books to Read This September | One of Bookish's Debuts to Read in the Second Half of 2021 | One of Medium's Best Releases Out Today “Hazel Hayes writes with such honesty and casual confidence and flowing dialogue, you feel you are overhearing it rather than reading it. The writing sparkles with wit and a poignant emotional reality. I love it.”—Matt Haig, bestselling author of The Midnight Library “A smart, touching, time-bending romance. Funny and affecting.”—David Nicholls, bestselling author of One Day and Sweet Sorrow For anyone who has loved and lost, and lived to tell the tale, this gorgeously written debut is a love story told in reverse, a modern novel with the heart of a classic: truthful, tragic, and ultimately full of hope. Out of Love begins at the end. A couple call it quits after nearly five years, and while holding a box of her ex-boyfriend’s belongings, the young woman wonders: How could they have spent so long together? When did they fall out of love? Were there good times before the bad? These are the questions we obsess over when a relationship ends, even when obsessing can do no good. But instead of moving forward through the emotional fallout of a break-up, Out of Love moves backward in time, weaving together an already unraveled tapestry, from tragic ending to magical first kiss. Each chapter jumps further into the past, mining their history for the days and details that might help us understand love; how it happens and why it sometimes falls apart. Readers of Normal People; Goodbye, Vitamin; and One Day will adore this bittersweet romance, a sparkling debut that you won’t want to miss.

Book Description
This little book is for the future. It is a time capsule for our family, for Hazels descendants. It is her legacy in her words, some transcribed from recorded memories, some composed as stories told in third person. It is her message to the future about times past, as she glimpsed it, so that those who come after may share it. I once asked myself, among all the lessons I learned from the wisdom she dispensed, what was it that stood out. She was creative; she was loving; she was witty; she was resilient; she was honest; she was intelligent; she was curious; she was hard-working. Yet, the quality I want to point out is that in the course of her life, nothing was ever lost. She made the most of every moment, of every experience, of every acquaintance. While she did not live on a grand scale, over all those years, in all those places, among all the people she touched, she inherently knew that this was indeed the fabric of her life and that nothing was to be wasted, taken for granted, or ignored. Everyone she met remembered her because she was always fully present to those she encountered. Throughout Mothers journey, her devotion to family and friends defined her. She was intensely proud of Johns accomplishments, and she doted on her grandchildren, Matt, Julie, and Steve. In addition to Martha, in whom she found the daughter she always wanted, many younger women were especially drawn to her. To them she was mentor, ally, confidante, and friend. Doug Haydel Hazel was a widow about as long as she was married but she never loved anyone else and not a day went buy after Daddy died that she didnt miss him think about him fondly. They fit together like two pieces in a jigsaw puzzle with a lot of other pieces missing. Daddy was a dreamer and Hazel was an enabler. Mother gave us a love of learning through her example. She was a constant reader and often mispronounced new words because she didnt often have a chance to exercise her vocabulary with her friends with smaller vocabularies. She constantly reminded us of the plutocracy of the Haydels in early Louisiana and made us feel sort of special; at least our family was maybe once if not now. Hazel never learned to drive, was clumsy and never screwed lids on jars, causing lots of spilling. She often successfully depended on the kindness of strangers. She was a natural cook. She could walk into a kitchen bereft of pantry supplies and produce magical dishes. She was a beautiful woman. I once overheard his father talking to someone and he said my wife is a beautiful women I want you to meet her I felt sorry for my friends that didnt have a beautiful mother. They are both buried in the Catholic cemetery in Plaucheville, La. John Haydel

Book Description
Too often, people drift through life with a feeling of frustration, longing to find some adventure or purpose in life, envious of those whose lives seem exciting. In WRITE IT DOWN, MAKE IT HAPPEN, Henriette Anne Klauser shows you how to write your own lifescript. Simply writing down your goals in life is the first step towards achieving them. The 'writing it down' part is not about time management; it is not a 'to-do today' list that will make you feel guilty if you don't get everything done. Rather, writing it down is about clearing your head, identifying what you want and setting your intent. You can 'make it happen' purely by believing in the possibility. In WRITE IT DOWN, MAKE IT HAPPEN, there are stories from ordinary people who witnessed miracles large and small unfold in their lives after they performed the basic act of putting their goals on paper.

Book Description

Hazel Bly used to live in the perfect house with the perfect family in sunny California. But when a kayaking trip goes horribly wrong, Mum is suddenly gone forever and Hazel is left with crippling anxiety and a jagged scar on her face. After Mum's death, Hazel, her other mother, Mama, and her little sister, Peach, needed a fresh start. So for the last two years, the Bly girls have lived all over the country, never settling anywhere for more than a few months. When the family arrives in Rose Harbor, Maine, there's a wildness to the small town that feels like magic. But when Mama runs into an old childhood friend—Claire—suddenly Hazel's tight-knit world is infiltrated. To make it worse, she has a daughter Hazel's age, Lemon, who can't stop rambling on and on about the Rose Maid, a local 150-year-old mermaid myth. Soon, Hazel finds herself just as obsessed with the Rose Maid as Lemon is—because what if magic were real? What if grief really could change you so much, you weren't even yourself anymore? And what if instead you emerged from the darkness stronger than before?

Book Description
Most men can’t handle Hazel. But her best friend Josh isn’t most men. Don’t miss New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren’s new novel about two people who are definitely not dating…no matter how often they end up in bed together. Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun. Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air. Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them...right?
