Her former rich-girl life is a smoking crater... time for a fresh start! After her dad kicked her out, Lorette Howland's life took quite the dramatic turn. Instead of a penthouse and a no-limit credit card, she's now the not-so-proud owner of a building full of mold and trouble. And she has to sleep on a blanket on the floor. The world thinks she'll soon be found in a dirty back alley. Dead from booze and being too damn clueless to live in the real world. Even her few friends think she's heading full speed for disaster. But Lorette never gave a damn what other people thought of her—and she's not about to start! Now that she has come to terms (sort of) with her new situation, she is ready to start turning both her life and her nightmare building into a jaw-dropping success! First on the list: making sure she has a less shameful place to pee and an actual bed to sleep in! But as her own life entangles with that of her new friends and tenants, Lorette finds out that living in the real world is more complicated than finding out where new furniture comes from. Is this series right for you? Are you looking for a heartfelt, feelgood funny series in the spirit of classic television shows like Friends? This is just the fun series for you to get happily lost in. Forget your worries for a while. Join Lorette and her crew of fun but almost equally clueless rich friends as they are forced to grow up, learn how to run a business, and find out just what kind of life they want to live—and not the one others want them to live. --- Lighthearted & wholesome funny books are a great way to help you relax.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Inspired by her popular TED Talk, the founder and CEO of Girls Who Code urges women to embrace imperfection and live a bolder, more authentic life. “A timely message for women of all ages: Perfection isn’t just impossible but, worse, insidious.”—Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit Imagine if you lived without the fear of not being good enough. If you didn’t care how your life looked on Instagram. If you could let go of the guilt and stop beating yourself up for making human mistakes. Imagine if, in every decision you faced, you took the bolder path? As women, too many of us feel crushed under the weight of our own expectations. We run ourselves ragged trying to please everyone, pass up opportunities that scare us, and avoid rejection at all costs. There’s a reason we act this way, Saujani says. As girls, we were taught to play it safe. Well-meaning parents and teachers praised us for being quiet and polite, urged us to be careful so we didn’t get hurt, and steered us to activities at which we could shine. As a result, we grew up to be women who are afraid to fail. It’s time to stop letting our fears drown out our dreams and narrow our world, along with our chance at happiness. By choosing bravery over perfection, we can find the power to claim our voice, to leave behind what makes us unhappy, and to go for the things we genuinely, passionately want. Perfection may set us on a path that feels safe, but bravery leads us to the one we’re authentically meant to follow. In Brave, Not Perfect,Saujani shares powerful insights and practices to help us let go of our need for perfection and make bravery a lifelong habit. By being brave, not perfect, we can all become the authors of our best and most joyful life.
