"I met a friend who was published with Gill and told her about the book idea I had sitting on the shelf, and she told me to bring it to them."

When redesigning a space, Hailee Steinfeld prioritizes how it should feel over how it will look. It's a lesson she learned from her mother, Cheri, who began a career in interior design shortly after marrying the singer and actor's father.

Emma Waters reflects on her initial belief that prioritizing marriage and children indicated a lack of ambition, stating, 'Somehow, I had gotten this idea that prioritizing marriage and children earlier in life is what you do if you lack ambition.'

The greatest adjustment in Cornfield's new music is her lyrical framing. In the past, her songs were so littered with personal details that listening felt voyeuristic.

Lindsay texted Ella, 'ARE YOU WATCHING? WE HAVE TO APPLY' and within hours they hatched a plan to make the video and enlisted the help of Ella's twin sister, Olivia Dombkowski, to help.

Going from two to three children is different but also wild because my daughters are now older and want to help take care of their baby sister.

Sometimes things drop. Sometimes you're going to miss things. Sometimes you're going to miss a child's birthday party, maybe even your own child's.

Martha carries her son Aaron, who is unable to walk or talk, while she works in the fields. She states, 'Aaron is so weak, so I have to carry him from the house and lay him somewhere so I can work.'

Last 2 weeks have been the best of my life. Welcome to the world little one.

I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother's heart. We all come from a lineage of women who continue to create against all odds.

I was suspicious, even cynical, about what the world insisted was vital to the life of my unborn child. I was partly sceptical because so much of the advice I was getting was contradictory. But I was also suspicious because I'd spent most of my 20s reading Nietzsche. Nietzsche is not, perhaps, a natural choice for a young mother. But he helps to fuel certain questions about values, and purpose, that are central to questions of care.

I probably thought about it the most before I went to rehab aged 25. Because I felt I'd lived an entire life then. I was so lost and I was trying everything - trying a bit of a job, a bit of a drug. I went through tonnes of friendship groups and people. I was so discombobulated and I felt my oldest then.

In my head you live another life Where you f*ck all my friends And wish someone else could've been your wife I love you, I love you I'm sorry, I'm sorry For letting it get the best of me again I'm too emotional, I guess When I look at that body I'm not trus

The ghost of a previous lover is always a challenge, particularly if you (mistakenly) believe that she's actually dead. This is the unenviable situation for Lily, the protagonist of O'Farrell's second novel, who is swept off her feet by dashing architect Marcus and in short order moves in with him. Lily takes his assurances that her predecessor Sinead is no longer with us to mark a more permanent absence;

This collection captivated audiences with its rich narrative, reflecting the dichotomy of overwhelming love intertwined with frustration and inner turmoil. Kucharska's latest offering approaches the multifaceted journey of motherhood, encapsulating a complex emotional landscape that balances strength and vulnerability. The pressure to endure coexists with a fierce longing for protection and safety, creating a powerful tension that resonates across her designs.

Protagonist Edna Pontellier, heartbroken and hopeless, swims out into the Gulf of Mexico until her body tires and the water swallows her up. The act is impossibly sad, but it also feels as if it's not about itself. Or rather, it expresses something about the act, choice, of suicide that so often remains out of focus: how hard our world is to live in.

"I've had to sort of mourn in a way, not the loss of those friendships, but like how they've changed," Moore said.
