Over the course of planning the wedding, the sisters are forced to confront their pasts and decide whether they’re willing to take chances on love. And Courtney is juggling a lot of secrets, including her career aspirations and a burgeoning relationship. Rachel finds herself reconnecting with her ex…but can she trust him not to hurt her? Sienna gets engaged once again, but she’s not sure if this guy is the one for her. When they come together to help with their mother’s second wedding, each runs into her own share of drama. Courtney, the youngest, has long felt like the black sheep of the family. Sienna is a commitment-phobe who gets engaged often but finds it more difficult to stay engaged. Rachel is recently divorced and trying to raise her 11-year-old son. Rachel, Sienna, and Courtney are sisters, but they couldn’t be more different. ![]() ![]() Three daughters attempt to juggle their mother’s upcoming wedding and their own tumultuous love lives in this novel from Mallery ( The Friends We Keep, 2016, etc.). ![]() ![]() ![]() "For Your Eyes" has another captivating woman for Bond to interact with, while "Hildebrand Rarity" is surprisingly interesting and complicated and violent. In the former, M sends Bond on a personal mission of vengeance, while in the latter, a vacationing Bond discovers an abusive marriage, a problem beyond the powers of Britain's top spy to do anything about. "For Your Eyes Only" and "The Hildebrand Rarity" are a little more personal than normal. On the other hand, "Risico" didn't seem to offer anything new. I enjoyed the former, imbued as it is with Fleming's usual attention to detail, and also a captivating female character that I wish we saw more of. "From a View to a Kill" and "Risico" are the more typical Bond tales here the first has Bond defeating a Soviet plot to intercept NATO intelligence despatches, while "Risico" sends Bond undercover to defeat a drug-smuggling operation. There are five in total, varying from typical Bond spycraft in short story form to more literary, domestic tales. ![]() This isn't the eighth James Bond novel, but rather the first James Bond short story collection. ![]() ![]() ![]() That’s it, Really? I got a sinking feeling reading this book that its a kind of ‘Stoicism’ for VC ’s in the Valley (see second quote below from my book notes) who think having lunch together is working. The other problem is that the advice is repetitive, never nuanced and a little shallow A good example was the story about Robin Hurricane Carter who went to prison unjustly and ‘didn’t eat prison food’ how the hell did he do that and stay alive then? The stories all too often fall down from lack of detail, context etc so they ended up feeling perfunctory. As it was they come off a little like a laundry list, famous person overcomes ‘obstacle’ then succeeds. ![]() The anecdotes could have been a little longer or more detailed for me. The book comes formatted thus with some collected anecdotes about famous and successful people down the ages who have employed stoicism either consciously or unselfconsciously. The book is meant as an introduction to Stoicism and to an idea that stoicism in the West has been around throughout history behind the scenes as a tool for those who wanted to use it.
