Seventeen year-old Jonah Daniels has lived in Verona Cove, California, his whole life, and only one thing has ever changed: his father used to be alive, and now he is not.

Charming and unfiltered, she refuses to be held down by the medicine she's told should make her feel better. After meeting Jonah, she slides into the Daniels' household seamlessly, winning over each sibling with her imagination and gameness. But it's not long before Vivi's zest for life begins to falter. Soon her adventurousness becomes all-out danger-seeking. Through each high and low, Vivi and Jonah's love is put to the test . . . but what happens when love simply isn't enough?

Book excerpt: Gabriella “Gabi” Heralie, a seventeen year-old secretive girl is faced with numerous repeated visions, episodes and past memories in her head. The day it started, happened to be her best friend’s birthday named Meradith “Mare” James, making her question the mystery and yet wasn’t able to tell anyone. She bumped into her childhood friend and later developed into a love interest, Sebastian “Ash” Arpher. She opened up about her situation and investigated the mystery together. Just when the love was about to blossom, her household situation turned into chaos. Not knowing what to do, her visions developed by her seeing the person she was meant to be with in the future, somehow. Piece after pieces, she tried to connect the dots just to lose a big picture of the situation. Finding love, near death experience, divorces of her parents and the family around her. Also illegal scandals between her friend Ana and her best friend's father took place within 10 days since the vision started. Gabi believed it was all caused by her cursed visions and was about to give up with her life. It all changed when she met Nicholas, a fitness coach and student, who coincidentally was the person she kept having visions about aka the person she was meant to be with according to her visions. To her surprise, he had also been dreaming of her since last year. Striked by the euphoria of their compatibility, love spiraled in the air between the two, Gabi found herself lost between her great lovers. Gabi and Ash tried to find the deeper meaning of why the vision started, on the other hand Gabi and Nicholas sucked into their darker side and chose to keep the mystery as it was. Mathew her brother constantly reminded her of the outcome of her choices and Mare ended up discovering her father’s scandal that Gabriela knew all along. Her life and everything around her collided with one another. She surrendered her fate and destiny to the universe and let the faith move her decision after decision.

Download or read book It's Even Worse Than It Looks written by Thomas E. Mann and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acrimony and hyperpartisanship have seeped into every part of the political process. Congress is deadlocked and its approval ratings are at record lows. America's two main political parties have given up their traditions of compromise, endangering our very system of constitutional democracy. And one of these parties has taken on the role of insurgent outlier; the Republicans have become ideologically extreme, scornful of compromise, and ardently opposed to the established social and economic policy regime.In It's Even Worse Than It Looks, congressional scholars Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein identify two overriding problems that have led Congress -- and the United States -- to the brink of institutional collapse. The first is the serious mismatch between our political parties, which have become as vehemently adversarial as parliamentary parties, and a governing system that, unlike a parliamentary democracy, makes it extremely difficult for majorities to act. Second, while both parties participate in tribal warfare, both sides are not equally culpable. The political system faces what the authors call &"asymmetric polarization," with the Republican Party implacably refusing to allow anything that might help the Democrats politically, no matter the cost.With dysfunction rooted in long-term political trends, a coarsened political culture and a new partisan media, the authors conclude that there is no &"silver bullet"; reform that can solve everything. But they offer a panoply of useful ideas and reforms, endorsing some solutions, like greater public participation and institutional restructuring of the House and Senate, while debunking others, like independent or third-party candidates. Above all, they call on the media as well as the public at large to focus on the true causes of dysfunction rather than just throwing the bums out every election cycle. Until voters learn to act strategically to reward problem solving and punish obstruction, American democracy will remain in serious danger.
