Sky is in hospital and it isn't looking good. When Cory speaks to the doctor he finds out exactly how bad it is and he comes to realize that he’s going to have to face a harsh reality of life. When Danny shows up to give his support, Cory can't believe it. Cory demands that Danny leave, but when Sky starts to flatline they both start to realize just how much Sky means to them. Is it too late for Danny and Cory to admit how they feel, or can a miracle really happen?

It’s the final week of school and everybody is getting pumped about the end-of-year party down by the river. Cory already knows who he wants to take, but when he receives an unexpected request from a girl he’s known for years, he finds his plans derailed. Sky is certain that Cory is going to ask her to the party, but he doesn’t. She tries to tell herself that she’s cool with it, but when she sees him dancing with another girl, she realizes that she might have made a mistake by pushing him away. When she spots a chance to get him alone, she takes it, but will she do something that she will later regret?

"In Conundrums for the Long Week-End, Robert McGregor and Ethan Lewis explore how Sayers used her fictional hero to comment on, and come to terms with, the social upheaval of the time: world wars, the crumbling of the privileged aristocracy, the rise of democracy, and the expanding struggle of women for equality. A reflection of the age, Lord Peter's character changed tremendously, mirroring the developing subtleties of his creator's evolving worldview." "Scholars of the Modern Age, fans of the mystery genre, and admirers of Sayers's fiction are sure to appreciate McGregor and Lewis's incisive examination of the literary, social, and historical context of this prized author's most popular work."--Jacket.

Cory had lived in Denver all his life and he’s getting pretty restless. When he realizes that the most exciting day of his life was when a dog broke into the school, he realizes that he needs to do something about it. The only problem is that not much goes on in Denver, and that doesn't look like it’s about to change any time soon. Sky has spent her entire life dealing with the fact that her parents abandoned her. She thinks that it doesn't affect her, but when she meets a guy who might just be perfect the cracks become apparent. Sky doesn't believe in love. Or, to be more specific, she doesn't believe that anyone can love her. So when she turns up in Denver and catches Cory’s eye, it will only lead to disaster, right?

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2021 In The 4 Day Week, entrepreneur and business innovator Andrew Barnes makes the case for the four-day work week as the answer to many of the ills of the 21st-century global economy. Barnes conducted an experiment in his own business, the New Zealand trust company Perpetual Guardian, and asked his staff to design a four-day week that would permit them to meet their existing productivity requirements on the same salary but with a 20% cut in work hours. The outcomes of this trial, which no business leader had previously attempted on these terms, were stunning. People were happier and healthier, more engaged in their personal lives, and more focused and productive in the office. The world of work has seen a dramatic shift in recent times: the former security and benefits associated with permanent employment are being displaced by the less stable gig economy. Barnes explains the dangers of a focus on flexibility at the expense of hard-won worker protections, and argues that with the four-day week, we can have the best of all worlds: optimal productivity, work-life balance, worker benefits and, at long last, a solution to pervasive economic inequities such as the gender pay gap and lack of diversity in business and governance. The 4 Day Week is a practical, how-to guide for business leaders and employees alike that is applicable to nearly every industry. Using qualitative and quantitative data from research gathered through the Perpetual Guardian trial and other sources by the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology, the book presents a step-by-step approach to preparing businesses for productivity-focused flexibility, from the necessary cultural conditions to the often complex legislative considerations. The story of Perpetual Guardian's unprecedented work experiment has made headlines around the world and stormed social media, reaching a global audience in more than seventy countries. A mix of trenchant analysis, personal observation and actionable advice, The 4 Day Week is an essential guide for leaders and workers seeking to make a change for the better in their work world.
