I think I actually liked A Lot Like Adiòs a little bit more than You Had Me at Hola, mostly because we definitely don’t have as many best friends-to-lovers romances as we do like other popular tropes such as fake dating & enemies-to-lovers (which don’t get me wrong, are two of my favorite tropes). Gabe’s partner hired Michelle, a freelance graphic designed, to help them work on the project without Gabe’s knowledge and the two are forced to reconcile the past & their feelings for one another. This best friends-to-lovers contemporary romance follows Jasmine’s cousin, Michelle, and her (former) best friend, Gabe, who is back in the Bronx for the first time in nearly ten years to oversee the expansion of his gym. I really liked Alexis Daria’s 2020 releases, You Had Me at Hola, so I looked forward to continuing the Primas of Power companion series with A Lot Like Adiòs. The series is loyal to the novel’s dryly grim tone, with Mendelsohn perfect as the weary but honorable small-town cop and Jason Bateman cooly moving as a man who’s watching his life explode in front of him. But Maitland has a solid alibi for the crime, which means that it looks like Frankie was murdered by a man who was somehow in two places at once. Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) investigates, though it’s not a tough case to crack as mountains of forensic and eyewitness evidence point to beloved local teacher and baseball coach Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman, who also executive produced the series and directed its first two episodes). The Outsider tells the story of the gruesome murder of a young boy in the fictional town of Flint City, Oklahoma. The book features some character overlap with that series, but in terms of its structure and tone, it also often feels far more like a murder mystery than a horror story. In The Outsider, classic King and the Hodges trilogy collide, both literally and stylistically. But in recent years, he’s also written his Bill Hodges trilogy, hard-boiled detective novels that are full of murder and intrigue but very light on the paranormal. The author is best known for scary stories like Carrie, It, and The Shining, along with some beloved non-scary ones like The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me.

When Dylan paid attention to the rising and falling of his abdomen, he would be swamped with memories of mocking faces while walking down the hallway. It’s an area of the body that can hold tension related to a trauma and connect to overwhelming, life-threatening events. The breath, for instance, is far from neutral for many survivors. When we become lost in thought during practice, we can return to our anchor, fixing our attention on the stimuli we’ve chosen. An anchor might be the sensation of our breath coming in and out of the nostrils, or the rising and falling of our abdomen. “ESTABLISH STABLE ANCHORS OF ATTENTION Mindfulness meditation typically involves something known as an anchor of attention-a neutral reference point that helps support mental stability. The author uses the dual POV very well, her worldbuilding is understandable but bonkers, and the plot is very fast paced.
