David Lagercrantz, Stockholm, 15 May, 2015
Translated from the Swedish by Ruth Urbom
AUTHOR AND TRANSLATOR BIOGRAPHIES
© Caroline Andersson
David Lagercrantz is the son of Olof Lagercrantz, a Swedish author and literary critic, and Martina Lagercrantz. He studied philosophy and religion and attended the School of Journalism in Gothenburg. Eventually he made it to
, a national daily paper, where he covered some major crime stories including an infamous triple murder in the cemetery in the northern Swedish town of Åmsele in 1988.
David made his debut as an author in 1997 with
Ultimate High
, the story of Swedish adventurer Göran Kropp, who climbed Mount Everest without oxygen tanks or sherpas the week after one of the most tragic disasters ever to occur on the mountain. The book became a great success, both in Sweden and abroad, and that success enabled David to continue as an author.
Three years later
A Swedish Genius
, David's biography of inventor Håkan Lans, was published. It has since been reprinted several times and provided inspiration for the critically acclaimed documentary film
Patent 986
. In 2005 David returned his attention to the Himalayas with a thriller entitled
The Sky Over Everest
He continued with
Fall of Man in Wilmslow
, a historical novel about the English mathematician and code-breaker Alan Turing. This book is often regarded as David's breakthrough in fiction. It received excellent reviews and immediately landed on the bestseller lists, with rights sold to publishers in fifteen countries.
Looking back over his works, David saw a pattern in his writing: he often wrote about major talents who refuse to follow convention. He was interested not only in what it takes to stand out from the crowd, but also in the resistance that such creativity inevitably faces.
Meanwhile, the Swedish publishing company Abbe Bonnier was involved in talks with Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimović about publishing an autobiography. Bonnier felt that this project would be a good match for David's previous work. Zlatan and David met and agreed to work together. The result was
I am Zlatan Ibrahimović
, one of the most successful books in Sweden in modern times.
The book sold 500,000 copies in hardback in less than two months. Reviews hailed it as both a masterpiece and a future classic. The critic Dilsa Demirbag-Sten, writing in the daily broadsheet
, noted that the book had done wonders for the young reading generation, and she was undoubtedly right.
I am Zlatan
has encouraged a new generation to read – one that had previously not been addressed by the publishing market. Kids from council estates who used to think that reading was the nerdiest thing in the world have devoured the book. To date, it has been published in over 30 languages around the world, with millions of copies sold. It was shortlisted for the UK's William Hill Sports Book of the Year award, the most highly regarded award for sports writing. In Sweden it was the first book of its kind to be nominated for the prestigious August Prize, a literary award named after August Strindberg.
In December 2013 David Lagercrantz signed a contract to write a new instalment in Larsson's
series, the global publishing phenomenon featuring Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. The fourth book in the series –
– is launched worldwide on August 27, 2015.
David is married to Anne Lagercrantz, head of news and current affairs on the Swedish Public Radio. He has three children and lives in the Södermalm neighbourhood of Stockholm.
Translator George Goulding was born in Stockholm, educated in England and spent his legal career working for a London-based law firm. Since his retirement in 2011 he has worked as a translator of Swedish fiction.

Translated from the Swedish by Reg Keeland
Lisbeth Salander gets under the skin of her targets like no-one else.
Those who underestimate her live to regret it. If they are lucky …
Mikael Blomkvist – disgraced journalist, womanizer – is everything she ought to hate. But when she is hired by a security firm to investigate him, her report on his life reveals an integrity that fascinates her.
Then she discovers that Blomkvist, himself a brilliant investigator, is cracking open the cold case of a missing girl – uncovering secrets that have poisoned a family through generations.
And only one thing gives Salander greater satisfaction than exposing a liar: stopping a killer.

Lisbeth Salander – the girl with the dragon tattoo – can be viciously violent. Mikael Blomkvist knows it, and owes his life to it.
When a criminologist and a journalist who works with Blomkvist at
magazine are killed on the brink of publishing a brutal exposé of human trafficking, the evidence points in one direction.
Salander's prints are on the murder weapon. But Blomkvist knows Lisbeth would never act without reason, and he cannot find one here.
The victims were his friends. But so is Salander. And something much more dangerous is surely at play …
THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNETS' NEST
Lisbeth Salander is a threat to national security. Since she was thirteen, shady government forces have acted to keep her quiet.
Prone to violence, deemed mentally disturbed, she has had her freedom removed and her every movement watched.
Yet still, she is an unstoppable force for justice.
Salander has a bullet in her head. She is wanted for murder. She knows that the secrets and corruption at the heart of her country's government go right to the top.
And she will not take it lying down …

Medicare Advantage plans are typically referred to as Part C plans, they offer all the benefits you would receive through Original Medicare (Part A and B), but many times offer additional benefits as well. Medicare Advantage plans are also known as MA plans; if the MA plan also offers Prescription Drug benefits it is known as an MAPD, or Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan. MA or MAPD plans are offered through private insurance companies, that are regulated by CMS; it is important to note that your benefits would be administered through the private company rather than Medicare. By signing up for a Medicare Advantage plan you do not lose your Medicare Part A and B, you simply receive your benefits through the plan. To find out more click here.


The headliners of this summer's Bobstock music festival have a couple of pretty big hits between them, including lyrics that are fairly likely to be recognizable to lots of people.
Those lyrics include "Ice, Ice Baby" for the Friday headliner and "It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the hunt" for the Saturday headliner.
Media Logic Radio and the BOB FM DJ's on Thursday announced Vanilla Ice and Survivor as the lead entertainment for Bobstock 2018, which is scheduled for Friday, July 13, and Saturday, July 14, in Fort Morgan City Park.
As usual, the two-day music festival, in it's 11th year, will offer free concerts for the general public, with multiple stages and local, regional and national entertainment, according to Media Logic Radio Owner/General Manager Wayne Johnson.
Kari Linker and Nick Erker were among those who had waited for a bit at lunchtime Thursday at the Viaero Wireless for the video announcement of who the headliners would be. They both were excited by the result.
"These guys do better and better every year," Linker said. "Vanilla Ice is a nice change and will add a new dynamic, and Survivor... I'm a child of the '80s, so that's pretty outstanding. It will draw two different crowds. These guys knocked it out of the park."
"I think it's amazing," Erker said. "Survivor obviously I know from 'Rocky,' but Vanilla Ice is huge, and he'll be singing 'Ice, Ice Baby' in Fort Morgan. I think it's going to be great to have someone of his caliber coming to Fort Morgan."
Someone else who was extremely excited about the Bobstock 2018 headliners was Oliver Lei, retail sales director for announcement host Viaero Wireless.
"I'm very happy to hear Vanilla Ice is coming," he said. "I remember buying his tape as a kid and listening to one song over and over and over. And who hasn't worked out to Survivor?"
Viaero Wireless is one of the sponsors that make it possible for Media Logic Radio to bring in the bands for Bobstock and keep the concerts free to the public, Johnson said.
And Lei enjoys his employer's sponsorship of the music festival.
"Anytime anybody asks me what's my favorite part of Viaero, I always say supporting the communities," he said, including sponsoring Bobstock.
After the headliners were revealed, Lei held a drawing from members of the crowd for a Bluetooth speaker. Chelsea Schraeder was revealed to be the winner of that speaker.
"It's funny because right before I said I always win raffles," she said, although she thinks she may not get to use the speaker very much. "I'll have to arm wrestle my kids for it."
Morgan County Sheriff Jim Crone was among those who had waited at Viaero for the bands to be revealed.
"I think it's cool," he said. "I'm not the biggest Vanilla Ice fan, but just having him here will be neat."
The sheriff is a Survivor fan, though.
"That was from my younger days, so having them here and seeming them will be cool."
Fort Morgan Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Robin Northrup was pleased about the Bobstock headliners and the event overall.
"I think it's so exciting," she said. "Everybody knows who Vanilla Ice is. It's going to be so much fun. Every year it just gets bigger and bigger."
Northrup also pointed to the economic impact Bobstock has for Fort Morgan.
"It's one of the largest tourism events in Fort Morgan," she said. "That just brings thousands of people to Fort Morgan, and they fill up the hotels, shop downtown and help keep our community going."
Johnson said getting Survivor and Vanilla Ice secured for this summer's Bobstock was not a simple thing to do. There was a lot of competition to book bands for summer concerts, he said, and Media Logic Radio wound up with two headlining acts that were more expensive to book than usual as a result.
But Johnson said sponsors were making that possible.
"We have sponsors that keep coming out of the woodwork that want to be a part of it," he said. "It's become such a big event. That's exciting."
The 2018 headliners also marks a departure for Bobstock with an act mostly known for his 1990 hit, "Ice, Ice Baby," as a headliner, instead of the usual 1970s and 1980s artists on the main stage both nights.
"Survivor, we play their songs on BOB (FM) all the time," Johnson said. "Vanilla Ice, we only play one. We're going to try this and see how it works with a '90s group. If we get a good crowd, that gives us a whole other set of groups to book."
BOB FM DJ John Jay also pointed out that there also will be "a ton of regional acts" that will play at Bobstock, although those will be announced later this spring.


Growing up, I dealt with books and homework, tests, and band practice. Mostly, I dealt with a bully. He was not just any bully – he was my bully and he tormented me non-stop for 9 years over a 12-year period of my life. Some of the tamer things that he would do: wrap me in packing tape (at that time, I had a full head of hair), hit me, sit on me, and kick me. He also insulted me and put me down publicly every chance he could.
In fact, one day I remember walking home from school, I only lived two blocks from high school. My bully thought it would be funny to drive his car up onto the sidewalk and chase me for a few houses. What seemed to him to be a prank, felt to me like he was trying to run me over. As soon as I saw the car skid from the street onto the sidewalk, I started to run. Although I only ran for a few moments, it felt like I ran for miles. I remember being so afraid, when I turned to look back to see where he was, I fell! I remember crawling as fast as I could towards the nearest tree thinking, "He won't run me over if it means damaging his car, and if he does run me down, at least he'll hit the tree too and there will be proof for my parents showing them how I died. At the very last minute, as I tried to catch my breath, he swerved and went back onto the main road, barely missing me and the tree, and leaving skid marks in the grass. I could hear him laughing in the distance as he continued to drive to school. It took me about 15 minutes to catch my breath, make sure he was out of view, and get to school. I was so scared, I didn't even realize my clothes were dirty and I was bleeding from the cuts and scrapes of falling and then grabbing onto that tree.
I had to deal with this bully for two years of Junior High School (seventh and eighth grades) and High School (tenth and eleventh grades). Because he was one school year ahead of me, I received a small break from his antics in 9th and 12th grade. I remember walking into auditions for the drumline for the Florida State University Marching Chiefs, and he was there too! To this day, I believe the only reason I made the drumline is because he decided to skip marching band his freshman year of college, so we were on equal footing auditioning for the drumline, he as a sophomore and me as a freshman.
Aside from those two grades, the only other time I received any relief was our family vacations to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. I was so excited. I loved the feeling of being away on vacation, where anything could happen, free from the stress of everyday life, school, projects, books and homework, and especially being away from my bully. I felt the pressures of my life literally lift off my shoulders! I loved that bullies (and mine in particular) were nowhere to be found, not even mosquitos were allowed on grounds at Disney. Today, I get that same excitement going on vacation with my kids and seeing Disney World through my sons' eyes.
I finally overcame my bully. He was a drummer like me and we eventually, during college, became friends!
What I realize today is that I help my clients get control of the financial bullies in their lives so they can feel those stresses and burdens literally float off of their shoulders, because they know that everything is going to be okay. I love when my clients feel that same excitement of waking up in the morning, as if every day was the first day of vacation for them too.

The project involved the static functional recovery of a building constructed between 1937-1938 and for such reason included in those built from 1810 – 1950 and the "2nd class Plan Unit" (Articles 19, 20, 21 of the N.T.A. in force) defined as having historical value limited to the facades and the footprint. The objective of this 1st segment of intervention (for 228,495 Euros) was the recovery of the building to be used as gymnasium with the adaptation of the annexed utilities (such as bathrooms, locker rooms, and equipment rooms). The recovery project maintained the architectural features of the façade unaltered while renovating the building to compliance with the standards an regulations in force.

Framebuffer configuration
=========================

One of PFB's tasks is managing the framebuffer that PGRAPH will draw to.
This (and a few assorted functions) is handled by the following register:

.. reg:: 32 nv1-pfb-config Display and framebuffer configuration

   - bit 0: VBLANK - read only, 1 iff the scanout hardware is currently
     in vblank.
   - bits 4-6: CANVAS_WIDTH - determines the width of canvas used by PGRAPH,
     in pixels.  One of:

     - 0: 576 pixels,
     - 1: 640 pixels,
     - 2: 800 pixels,
     - 3: 1024 pixels,
     - 4: 1152 pixels,
     - 5: 1280 pixels,
     - 6: 1600 pixels,
     - 7: 1856 pixels,

     This only affects PGRAPH, and not scanout.  However, PGRAPH is quite
     useless, unless this is set to be the same as the screen width used
     by scanout.

'Families deserve truth' about Iran plane crash in which Dartford man died
A scene from the crash, Mr Tahmasebi
Grieving families deserve the "truth" about the cause of the Iran plane crash, the Foreign Secretary has said, in which a newlywed Dartford man died.
Dominic Raab echoed calls by the Prime Minister and his Canadian counterpart for a thorough investigation into the disaster which killed all 176 people on board the Ukrainian aircraft, saying Iran should "open up" the crash site to international investigators.
Late on Thursday, US officials said the plane appeared to have been unintentionally hit by a surface-to-air missile near Tehran hours after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two US bases in Iraq to avenge the killing of its top general, Qassem Soleimani, in an American air strike.
Boris Johnson said there was a "body of information" which indicated the aircraft was brought down by a missile and Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said there was intelligence from multiple sources.
Dartford resident Saeed Tahmasebi Khademasadi was identified as among the dead on Wednesday.
Mr Tahmasebi's wife, Niloufar Ebrahim, was also among those killed. She was not yet a British citizen but was planning to settle in the UK with her new husband.
Mr Tahmasebi was a chartered engineer who was completing a PhD at Imperial College in London and working as a principal engineer at Laing O'Rouke.
A teenager who was brought up in south-west London was also named as among the victims.
Arad Zarei, 17, who had recently relocated to Canada having attended St Mary's Primary School in Twickenham until the end of Year 6 in 2014, was said to have been visiting his mother in Iran.
A spokesman for the school said: "Staff and governors at St Mary's School are shocked and immensely saddened to hear of the tragic death of our past pupil, Arad Zarei, in the recent plane crash.
"Arad attended St Mary's until 2014 and is remembered fondly by his teachers.
"We wish to extend our prayers and condolences to Arad's family and friends at this time."
The New York Times has published a video which it said showed the moment a missile hit a plane above Parand, near Tehran's airport, the area where the Ukrainian airliner stopped transmitting its signal before it crashed on Wednesday.
Iran has ruled out a missile strike by its air defences and initially suggested the cause was a fire in one of the plane's engines.
The country has now invited Boeing to take part in the investigation into the crash after initially refusing to do so, going against prevailing international norms on crash investigations.
US air accident investigators have also been invited to take part, Iranian officials said.
Speaking in Canada, Mr Raab said: "We agree with the Canadian assessment that indicates that Ukrainian International Airlines flight 752 was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile, and as (Canadian Foreign Minister) Francois-Philippe (Champagne) said it may well have been unintentional.
"Our view on the crash underlines why we urgently now need an independent, full and transparent investigation to establish what caused it.
"The Iranian regime must open up to the international community, including access to the crash site, so we can get to the truth as quickly as possible to give the families of the victims an understanding of what happened to their loved ones.
"The families of the victims deserve to know the truth, and we say that whether they're Canadian families, British families, Ukrainian families, Swedish, German, Afghan.
"And let us not forget the Iranian families because they have suffered the greatest loss of life in this terrible incident and they deserve to know the truth too.
"We urge Iran not to repeat the reckless and dangerous attacks and rather pursue the urgent de-escalation and return to diplomatic dialogue."
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has advised British travellers against all air travel to, from and within Iran.
Earlier, Mr Johnson confirmed that four Britons died in the crash - up from initial reports of three.
The Boeing 737-800 plane crashed moments after it left Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran at 6.10am local time (2.40am GMT) on Wednesday, bound for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
The airline ruled out human error in the aftermath of the incident, and the crew were not said to have made an emergency call.

When an Israeli preemptive strike takes out Iran's nuclear capability, there goes whatever chances may remain for President Barack Obama to fulfill his domestic agenda.
And without early enactment and funding of his socialist programs, Obama will be trapped in a one-term tenure in office.
There is no way the United States can sustain a domestic transformation to European-style socialism and at the same time fight three wars abroad — in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and throughout the crescent of radical-Islamic terrorist states.
An Israeli attack to prevent or substantially delay Iran's already-declared determination to wipe the Jewish state off the map will ignite a widespread wildfire of retaliation against Israel.
There is no assurance Americans will be spared serious terrorist attacks on their homeland, and a real likelihood those horrors will come in the wake of an Israeli-Iranian war.
The cost will be enormous, but if a preemptive strike fails or does not take place, followed by the nuclear destruction of Israel, the enduring burden may be more than even the U.S. can bear.
The U.S. could mitigate much of those long-term costs by stepping in early to side with Israel in preemptively thwarting the Iranian nuclear assault. The odds for that are nil, given who Obama is and who he isn't.
No cascade of lecturing speeches by Obama as a substitute for resolute conduct of American power and security will shepherd the president through this wicket.
The radical left in America, echoing the Marxist line from Europe, will go nuts. If George W. Bush thought he had it rough from the leftists over his war on terror, that will be nothing compared with the brimstone that will be brought down on Obama's head by the core forces to whom he owes his election.
Phrases like "no tax increase on the middle class" will be laughable. Demands for deficit-exploding "healthcare reform now" will fall on deaf ears. Bye-bye, green energy. Forget closing Gitmo. No more gutting military funding.
To handle what lies ahead, Obama will have to jettison his entire domestic-program wish list and scrape every corner of taxpayers' pockets to fund a protect-America foreign policy he would detest having to administer.
But he will be stuck, and it will be because of his own doings — and failures to do.
Whether he will be perceived as the innocent victim sinking in a tar pit inherited from the Bush administration or as an inexperienced incompetent in foreign affairs, his personal approval will be below the bottom-most whale in the ocean.
Moreover, if he bungles America's role, or lack of role, in the preventive attack on Iran's nuclear operations, his credibility will be down where even the sightless sea creatures don't venture.
No one, least of all his Marxist allies on campuses, in the masscomm media, in Hollywood and New York City, in the remains of a shrinking trade-union movement, and in the insatiable precincts of racial-victimhood, will trust him with another term.
This is not healthy politics, for either party. And Republicans had better be damn sure they come up with common-sense alternatives in policies and candidates, or even-angrier Americans will ignore them and find their own conservative pathways out of such a mess and into . . .
That's the bigger problem, the higher challenge, and it's on its way.

The Staggers
What is the New Hampshire primary, and why does it matter?
Although the contest has proved less influential in recent years, the New Hampshire primary is still a crucial event.
By Gillian Peele
While the Iowa caucuses are the first electoral event in the US's presidential process, the New Hampshire primary is the candidates' most important early test before the action explodes across the rest of the country.
The stakes are high. If the nominations aren't decided soon, the campaigns will be damned to a marathon of costly state primaries and caucuses; New Hampshire is their first best chance to avoid that fate. But it didn't always work this way.
Primaries only became the key element of the nomination process relatively recently. Until the postwar era, presidential candidates were chosen at the national conventions in the summer: in the run-up to the 1960 election, future president John F Kennedy famously entered only one primary (West Virginia's) to prove that a Roman Catholic could win a Protestant state.
It was only after the turmoil of the 1968 nomination, widely perceived as an establishment fix, that the McGovern-Fraser Commission changed the Democratic party's rules to end the power of the "smoke-filled room" over the nominating process, prompting many states to adopt meaningful primaries for both parties' nominations.
Unlike caucuses, which generally are used in smaller states that would rather not pay for full-scale ballots, primaries are secret-ballot elections that allow voters to choose who will be their preferred nominee. But not all primaries are the same.
The parties sometimes hold their votes on the same day, as they do in New Hampshire, or on different ones. A primary may be open (allowing any voter to register a preference) or closed (allowing only pre-registered party supporters to vote). New Hampshire has a mixed system which allows voters to register in a primary on the day before voting without declaring a party affiliation.
That means that while all voters registered with a party must vote in that party's ballot, the New Hampshire result often hinges on these unaffiliated voters. Because they can vote in whichever ballot they like and can register so close to primary day, the state is notoriously difficult to poll.
New Hampshire has cemented its first-in-the-nation status by passing a law that requires its lawmakers to move the state's primary to pre-empt any other state's, no matter how early. That means it's traditionally been not just an important indicator of how candidates are faring, but a way of winnowing the field and generating or killing funding. Candidates who perform poorly generally find their access to money suddenly dries up.
The arguments against New Hampshire's outsize role are many. Like Iowa, it's hardly representative of the US as a whole, being a small state with an overwhelmingly white population. And while (unlike Iowa) it has no powerful evangelical Christian element, it retains a very distinctive tradition of small-town New England politics that demand a particular kind of face-to-face, low-to-the-ground campaigning.
But this time around, other factors have cut into New Hampshire's significance.
On the Republican side, the primary's winnowing role was in large part pre-empted when the TV networks holding debates allowed only the higher-polling candidates on stage, effectively creating a two-tier system that tarred lower-polling candidates as also-rans long before voting began. Meanwhile, the financial calculations have been transformed by campaign finance reforms that allow for almost unlimited outside fundraising – allowing candidates to build up the reserves they need to withstand a humiliating defeat.
Nonetheless, a truly surprising New Hampshire result could still change everything.
Shuffling the deck
New Hampshire hasn't always chosen the winner in either the nomination contests or the general election. But it has provided more than its share of political upsets and key turning points, from persuading Lyndon Johnson not to stand again in 1968 to resurrecting the candidacies of Hillary Clinton and John McCain in 2008.
The incremental campaigns for the nominations are all about the perception of momentum, and a notional front-runner can be dislodged or destabilised by a poor performance early on. That's especially true in this year's cycle, in which both major parties are grappling with huge surges of support for outsider, anti-establishment candidates.
Mainstream Republicans have spent months trying to end Donald Trump's noisy domination of their crowded field. Trump was indeed defeated in Iowa, but not by a moderating force: instead, it was radical conservative Ted Cruz who overturned him.
Cruz is loathed by the party establishment, and he stands little chance of appealing to mainstream voters. Marco Rubio's strong showing in Iowa briefly made him something of a standard-bearer for the party's moderates, but a disastrous turn at the last debate before New Hampshire has thrown the future of his candidacy into doubt.
The primary will also reveal who, if any, of the more moderate Republican candidates – among them Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Chris Christie – will survive. While Bush has a massive funding advantage (albeit with precious little to show for it), Kasich and Christie both need a strong showing in New Hampshire to reinvigorate their financial reserves.
On the Democratic side, the key question is whether Bernie Sanders can make good on the surprising energy of his populist, grassroots challenge to Hillary Clinton. He is currently the heavy favourite in New Hampshire: even if Clinton somehow pulls off a miracle win there as she did in 2008, the closeness of the race is already stimulating both campaigns' national organisation and spending. And with what could be a long race between them heating up, the two's growing mutual acrimony may yet start to undermine the Democrats' national appeal.

Seismic Assessment of the Damaged Margherita Palace
by ASI | Apr 3, 2017 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
The Margherita Palace is a heritage masonry structure constructed two centuries ago in L'Aquila (Italy) and extensively damaged by the strong 2009 earthquake. The palace was considered unstable and therefore temporarily supported to avoid its collapse. A structural survey of the palace walls and floors was carried out using laser scanning. The laser scanning data was post-processed to create three dimensional model including the cracks and damage in the different structural elements. The paper discusses challenges dealing with both the laser scan data set and detected damage data to create a full 3-D Applied Element Model of the existing conditions of the building with cracking and material damage. The challenges include the removal of noise from the data, meshing challenges to create 3-D elements with acceptable aspect ratio and applying existing cracking and weakening to different components. Nonlinear dynamic analysis is performed for the damaged structure to check its partial or total collapse resistance if similar strong earthquake were to be applied to the structure, without the temporary supports, again. This analysis helps determining the weakest point of the structure which needs special retrofit attention.

Besides the cover drama this is lovely read. Hunter is a charismatic misbehavior which means he usually break rules or does things that irritate people but gets away with them because he's charming - sound familiar? We all know one. Taylor was amusing and Hunter sums her character up perfectly when he states he's never bored around her because she doesn't act the way he expects. Similarly I am fascinated by the equal parts terrified and fearless Taylor, who may or may not be more likely to punch a guy in the balls than smile. She is entertainment and a half.
Their hidden secrets were horrific events but the story focused more on the healing process of both characters rather than dwelling in a slightly dark depressive zone which I appreciated. I don't think Hunter and Taylor's relationship moved beyond the teenage love stage which was a little disappointing. It felt a lot like a coming of age relationship story rather than the emotional depth and development I've come to expect from New Adult. Still, I hugely enjoyed reading this book and definitely recommend it!
I really enjoyed this story too, and I hadn't really paid attention to the cover, but now that you mention it, it's true. It doesn't really ring true when I think about the story.
