The characters and plot seemed to wander around for the entirety of the book. and considering all they have gone through from the first, the conclusion of this series was not at all satisfactory when it came to the romance.

They are a mix of fairy tale and fantasy, with a lot of original content. The first two books, Unblemished and Unraveling, were very intriguing and caught my attention for sure. Unbreakable was confusing, unsatisfying, and just seemed to drag on with nothing important happening. I finally finished this book! Unfortunately, this third and final book in the UNBLEMISHED series by Sara Ella was not a worthwhile read for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Orenstein quotes Susan Douglas’ Enlightened Sexism, wherein Douglas posits that in today’s culture, While the staunch and empowered feminists from the Victorian era up to the seventies fought to give us an identity complete with voice, power, and choices, it seems that our choice as a culture insists on finding power through our looks. The enemy does not only consist of Disney marketers and Andy Mooney, the Nike executive who saw a need and fed the need for princesses all over the world, but also a culture that doesn’t see anything wrong with dressing little girls like dolls, with princess gowns, tiaras, and shiny, glittery glass slippers with heels.

![]() We don’t have an inherent sense of the value of things, so we resort to surmising the value of an item by considering its relative advantage or disadvantage over another. It’s human nature to make comparisons to find guidance toward the “right” choice. Armed with this knowledge and awareness, you can consciously avoid the triggers of irrationality and improve your decision-making skills. The good news is, it doesn’t need to be this way-here, we’ll discuss common pitfalls of human logic, and explore the forces that really drive your actions. Instead, we continue making the same mistakes-we’re not only irrational but predictably so. On the other hand, behavioral economics argues that humans frequently act irrationally, and we often don’t realize our errors at all. Standard economic theory relies on the idea that humans use infallible logic when making decisions, and even when we make wrong decisions, we quickly realize and remedy them. 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of Predictably Irrational ![]() ![]() Herodotus's famous history of warfare between the Greeks and the Persians has an epic dignity which enhances his delightful style.

Herodotus the great Greek historian was born about 484 BCE, at Halicarnassus in Caria, Asia Minor, when it was subject to the Persians.
