Indeed if it doesn’t become three times bigger than its current 330 million, he writes, the country is at risk of finding itself in the back seat of a Chinese-dominated world.Īt its peak, America, “the greatest nation in human history,” had “more people, more wealth, and more industrial capacity” than any other country, but its advantage is shrinking. The serious, but perhaps not literal, title reflects the author’s view that the United States needs more people-a lot more. There’s something for everyone to like in this heterodox book-which means there’s also something for everyone to troll. There’s a reason that Yglesias has been affably interviewed by Glenn Beck and Tyler Cowen, Ben Shapiro and Ezra Klein. Fortunately, he manages to do this trick while advancing a coherent argument. He shape-shifts from MAGA enthusiast to immigration devotee, from Swedish-style democratic socialist to Cold War nationalist to Focus on the Family stalwart. In his new book One Billion Americans, Matthew Yglesias, the Vox co-founder and gadfly progressive, goes wild. One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger, by Matthew Yglesias (Portfolio, 288 pp., $28) Sam has put Maya firmly in his past, despite how shattered he was when she broke his heart. The problem? Sam doesn’t know he has a daughter. Desperate enough to call Samantha’s dad, Sam Hutcherson, whom Maya left abruptly many years ago, and who is now a successful lawyer. But when Samantha lands in legal trouble over a misdemeanor she didn’t commit, Maya is desperate. Maya Rao has made her own dreams come true: she’s the owner of a bustling café and bakery in New York and the mother of a beautiful teenage daughter, Samantha. Sometimes first love is better the second time around. "This was the kind of story that lives and breathes with you." -Shaila Patel, author of Soulmated, on Then, Now, Always "Utterly unforgettable.” -Falguni Kothari, author of The Object of Your Affections, on Then, Now, Always When Zoey arrives at the Dellawisp with her invisible bird Pigeon, someone at building dies. Frasier, an enigmatic gentleman who seems to know more than he says and Lucy a woman who sees much but hides more. Mack, a chef whose food brings joy to many, but not to him. There’s Charlotte, a henna artist who seems to be running from something. There are four other condos and the inhabitants are just as unique as the turquoise birds that flutter outside the building from which The Dellawisp takes its name. With time to spare before she starts college, she has come to The Dellawisp to form some kind of connection with her mother, though she’s gone from this world. She arrives on Mallow Island, South Carolina to claim her deceased mother’s condo at a building called The Dellawisp. The only problem is, she isn’t sure what she is running towards. They’re the white sheets we drape over our ghosts so we can see them. The first timeline is how Quinn and Graham met each other and fell in love. The book switches off timelines between chapters. The story is about Quinn and Graham: how they met, how they fell in love, and what happened when they tried to grow their family. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people? The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair.Īll Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart. Quinn and Graham’s perfect love is threatened by their imperfect marriage. I think that’s the bias talking, but let’s get into it. I’m probably going to be biased in this review (not a lot and not sorry) because I’m such a big fan of Colleen Hoover and she hit it out of the park with this one. Tan captures the displacement and awe with which immigrants respond to their new surroundings in this wordless graphic novel. If you want to know more about the book itself this review from Alana Abbott is perfect: The one downside to all this is now I can’t remember who I have seenn recommend it, but I appreciate it. It’s beautiful and will make a great coffee table book and one to go through with my kids. #lifehackĪs I started flipping through it I was amazed that it was a graphic novel telling about the immigrant experience. The Arrival is one of those books and it came as a surprise because someone else in my family completed the cart and it came as part of the order. This year I changed that up and decided to add any book that a friend recommends to my Amazon cart that way I’d be forced to take action on it. This never really panned out because I went back to check I would forget who recommended it and without that personal connection I’d decide against getting the book. I see book recommendations all over the internet and in the past, I would try to make a mental note or add the title to my task list to check out later. Display the query from a Filament Table.

I had never been asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement in the bathroom of a pub before, so it came as something of a relief to discover that this was all that Brian was asking me to do.
