Other characters include Monica, a germophobe neurotic mess; Hazard, an alcoholic with a stupid name; Alice, a yummy-mummy insta-star; and two gay couples who play such a minor part it’s obvious they’ve been thrown in so Pooley could check off her ‘must have for diversity’ list. Drawing on a large sample of online film reviews, I argue that viewers are not unaware of this bias, which they often reproduce, comment upon and challenge. He was subsequently found guilty of racial discrimination under Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act (RDA).

This one has a quirky set of characters that somehow come together for new friendship, love, and happiness in London. Books and reading are at the center of an impressive number of popular digital platforms and practices, such as book blogs, or book related communities on Instagram, Tumblr and YouTube. The Authenticity Project is just the tonic for our times that listeners are clamoring for - and one they will take to their hearts and listen to with unabashed pleasure. I thought The Authenticity Project was a really sweet and wonderful book, so perfect for being in the midst of this crazy world.He got his comeuppance for his philandering and selfish ways, but also a second chance at life - redemption is probably a better word for this part of the story line.

I was surprised to read that the author has struggled with addiction as I remembered thinking how unrealistic those parts of the story seemed. things like a woman sticking a fork in a guy's hand, a guy running down a purse-snatcher, and an addict leaving notes to himself, regarding the name of the girl he's sleeping with, so he'll remember the next morning.

I actually like the occasional dose of Sophie Kinsella, and I liked parts of The Authenticity Project, but overall it was just a bit too predictable and the characters were a bit to stereotypical for my tastes.

This paper examines contemporaneity through the lens of experimental fiction as a mode of progression within literary fiction. Broadly consisting of a character-centred narrative in which events are organised by causal logic, moving towards the resolution of an initial problem or crisis, the classical narrative film relies heavily upon the idea of change (the turning point which prepares the way for denouement) and is, therefore, particularly prone to depictions of tourism as a life-changing experience. I found myself cheering, cringing, laughing and crying as I read this book and – above all – remembering the true value of community and human connection. The aim of this paper is to analyse the book, parts of the plot and the main characters, to understand if it is adequate to describe this book as a feminist novel.
