The narrator just couldn't pull that off, she was too personable, too nice. Anytime she interacts with anyone she is manipulating them and it's all on her terms. The main character here is ice cold, arguably a sociopath. Villanelle (a codename, of course) is one of the worlds most skilled assassins. I actually really liked her, thought she did a good job, & will actively look out for her in a the future, but she was all wrong for a this. The breakneck thriller that inspired TV sensation Killing Eve, starring Sandra Oh, 'unlike any other spy drama youve seen' (Daily Beast). Secondly, the narrator was just wrong for the book. If you're going to do that you need to make it very clear & not call the whole book the same name as 1 of the singles to avoid confusion. ![]() Some investigation shows that the book was originally 4 kindle singles then released as 1 book but the audio is only 1 of the singles. I've read Codename Villanelle & was disappointed to find that the audio book stops less than 1/2 way through. I wanted to like this but can only give it 3 stars for a couple of reasons. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They’re two outsiders in a business who ended up taking it over. ![]() They’re also a mixed-race couple at a time when you don’t see them on TV.

And we all had to process this together as an American family. Lucille Ball And Desi Arnaz Had Active Sex Life Ball even filed for divorce from Arnaz in 1944, but he was able to get her to change her mind. They were this American family, a very famous couple, who then split up in real-time. Your connection to your grandmother watching that show is very indicative of a lot of stuff that I heard about “I Love Lucy” and Lucy and Desi in general, which is they bring a very family feeling to a lot of people. On the show, married couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz played a pair of married characters, and in one. ![]() It provided this template as families for us to watch. The line between truth and fiction was often blurred on the iconic 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy. Lucy made a mistake, things work out in the end. It was this cycle in this show of rupture and repair. The frequent collaborators and I Love Lucy stars had two children together Lucie, 70, and son Desi Arnaz Jr., 69. You bring up something very interesting, which is this show really went into American homes and families watched together. Lucille and Desi got married in 1940, before divorcing 20 years later in 1960. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hari does not just complain about the way we have been taught to view depression and its treatments he also includes a lot of hard data from a variety of researchers that can help us. “Feeling lonely, it turned out, caused your cortisol level to absolutely soar-as much as some of the most disturbing things that can ever happen to you” (p. ![]() ![]() He was measuring how stressful loneliness was and how much cortisol was in each person’s saliva sample.

One story he tells is of John Cacioppo’s early study in the mid 1970s in which people were asked to rate themselves on loneliness 9 times a day in response to a beeper. Rather than depression being caused by an imbalance of hormones in our brain, it is mainly the loss of social connections in our lives that causes neuro-chemical imbalances that lead to depression and anxiety, which have nevertheless created the multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry.

Believe me when I say you will feel Sybella’s pain. Through Sybella, LaFevers raised some interesting questions. From the outside, it seems that her heart has hardened and that there isn’t a flicker of warmth inside her. She kills those who deserve it and she does it without mercy. ![]() Unlike Ismae, who is well-trained but not that experienced, Sybella is a seasoned assassin. It is not an easy read, that much I can tell you, and yet it is certainly worth your tears, for you will be a better person once you finish it. Sybella’s tale is so deeply personal and painful, a story of torture and degradation, a story full of monsters and betrayals. ![]() ![]() The darkness of Ismae’s story pales in comparison to the utter hopelessness of Sybella’s circumstances.
