![]() ![]() When I realized what she’d accomplished, I was awestruck-seamless shifts without any awareness on the reader’s part, with no sense of disorientation. ![]() I grabbed the book and scanned the scenes I’d read. I was stirring something when it dawned on me, as my thinking shifted from reader to writer/analytical mode, that I couldn’t identify who was telling the novel. When I read Penman’s first novel The Sunne in Splendour, I remember being forced to put it down in order to cook dinner. The ordinary writer with many shifting points of view will be told the novel suffers from confusing “head-hopping.” Somehow Penman can glide her reader from one character’s viewpoint to another without any hitches even within one scene. Her epic arcs of history require contributions from a wide range of narrators. The third bit of alchemy is the most impressive to me. ![]()

Rumors of a rift between the two women escalated in February when the Wizards of Waverly Place alum - who dated the “What Do You Mean?” singer on and off from 2011 to 2018 - defended bestie Taylor Swift after a clip resurfaced of Hailey pretending to gag while discussing the “Delicate” songstress, 33, on Drop the Mic. “I never comment on this type of thing, but we were just having a girls night and did a random TikTok sound for fun,” she wrote via Instagram. Hailey, who tied the knot with Justin in 2018, subsequently took down the video and denied any negative intention behind the post. In a since-deleted TikTok video from January, Hailey and friend Kendall Jenner lip-synced, “And I’m not saying she deserved it, but I’m saying God’s timing is always right.”įans were quick to question whether the clip was throwing shade at Gomez, 30, who had recently received body-shaming comments in response to a swimsuit photo of her. ![]() Bicara soal Justin dan Hailey, perjalanan cinta mereka ternyata cukup berliku, lho. ![]() Perayaan hari pernikahan mereka pun dirayakan dengan sederhana, yaitu dengan piknik berdua.

A book that is compelling enough to make me forget about plot and manages to keep tension throughout without much action? That’s a fantastic book for me. Her books have always had a strong emphasis on character and setting over a fast-moving plot and I think that’s where her writing really shines. But it feels like Schwab is entering a phase in her career where her books are based on vibes and atmosphere, something that was true of Addie LaRue but is even more the case with her latest release, Gallant. Schwab’s books – just check out my review for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue here. Gallant charmed me from the first page to the last. ![]() ![]() ![]()
