Out of the Blue: The inside story of the unexpected rise and rapid fall of Liz Truss

Product Information

Sean is in a director headspace for most of it, and talks about scenes like they're in a movie, throws in random charts of shots- it's all very pretentious and feels like the majority of his personality. It gave me What If It’s Us vibes (which isn’t usually a compliment because I kinda disliked What If It’s Us, but in this case it’s not so bad) but Out of the Blue was better (IMHO). Out of the Blue transports readers to Iceland’s timeless and magical island of Vikings and geographical wonders, and it promises to be a seminal collection that will define Icelandic literature in translation for decades to come. It was during this stage that her ministerial “rider” was said to include multiple espressos in a flat white-sized cup and a bottle of sauvignon blanc chilling at every overnight stay.

Obviously, there's nothing wrong about that, but I personally prefer it when romances don't focus as much on the sexual aspect, that's it.It just wasn't one that I could connect to or get invested in, and the intense focus on sex was alienating and off putting. Helen Mitsios is to be congratulated on having compiled a highly readable and often entertaining miscellany of writing from a European literary culture that is still not as well known to the rest of the world as it ought to be. I thought the first few chapters were really funny, and the beginning of Sean and Crest's relationship was cute. Seventeen-year-old Jaya has lost a lot recently: her mother, who died in a freak accident, and her first girlfriend, who has moved away without warning. Ethereal, luminescent and curvaceous, these designs echo the creature’s fascinating colour palette and organic shape.

Liz Truss became prime minister on 6 September 2022, following the resignation of Boris Johnson and her victory over Rishi Sunak in the Conservative leadership election. The book notes her indulgences in the job, asking embassies to provide her with Sauvignon blanc wine, as well as to avoid mass-produced coffee and packaged sandwiches; it describes multiple instances in which Truss forwent sleep in favour of drinking, and then drinking espressos to get through the next day's meetings. If you can accept it for what it is: a silly, fun, teen rom-com with a bit of magic included, you'll love this book! Depicted in its natural habitat, the starfish is tangled between custom-cut diamonds that evoke scintillating rocks adorning the sea floor. There are times when they are oblivious to themselves, which is hard to believe with how much self-awareness they also possess.Maybe if we had broadened out more -- spent more time with Kavya or other characters or one dates where they actually talked about things, the "romance" aspect would have come through stronger. Out of the Blue is a delightful teen rom com with just enough mermaid shenanigans to keep a fantasy lover satisfied! And, again, if you're looking for queer fluff and occasional allusions to The Little Mermaid, then this is a story you could have fun with.
