They'd kill to get thin.

"Simultaneously terrifying, hilarious, and action-packed, Sweet is a wild ride that holds up a warped mirror to our society. I loved it from the first line to the last." --Marie Lu, New York Times-bestselling author of Legend and The Young Elites

The luxurious celebrity cruise launching the trendy new diet sweetener Solu should be the vacation of a lifetime. But Laurel is starting to regret accepting her friend Viv's invitation. She's already completely embarrassed herself in front of celebrity host Tom Forelli-the hottest guy ever -and she's too sick to even try the sweetener. And that's before Viv and all the other passengers start acting really strange.

Tom knows that he should be grateful for this job and the chance to shed his former-child-star image. His publicists have even set up a 'romance' with a sexy reality star. But as things on the ship start to get wild, he finds himself drawn to a different girl. And when the hosting gig turns into an expose on the shocking side effects of Solu, it's Laurel that he's determined to save.

Praise for Sweet

"Laybourne's fictional world highlights themes of friendship, the culture of celebrity, and addiction...A finely knit narrative in which romance pairs perfectly (somehow) with societal horror." --Jennifer Prince, Buncombe County Public Libraries, NC, School Library Journal

"Laybourne's masterful novel opens as a comical potential romance, becomes suspenseful, then horrific, and ends as a gripping action-adventure survival story sure to enthrall readers ... The book is recommended as required summer reading." --VOYA, Starred Review

"Combining mystery with a bit of romance and a peek into Hollywood's obsession with being thin, Laybourne creates an interesting commentary on society's addiction to weight loss and diets." --Booklist

"While maintaining an exciting, face-paced, terrifying narrative, Laybourne manages to weave in details that highlight friendship, the culture of celebrity and addiction." --Asheville Citizen-Times

"Laybourne delivers a candy-coated horror novel that alternates between increasingly violent scenes and Laurel and Tom's poignant romance." --Publishers Weekly

fascinating
Format: Kindle
This book the psychology of money is one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read. I didn’t understand a lot of it because I am definitely not an investor and I know nothing about the stock Market. Morgan Housel is an excellent author and I highly recommend this book.

The best personal finance book I’ve ever read.
Format: Hardcover
Most finance books focus on the mechanics—budgets, tax strategies, portfolio construction, and the endless parade of acronyms and formulas. Those things matter, of course. But they miss the real issue. Money problems are rarely mechanical. They’re behavioral. That’s where The Psychology of Money stands apart. Housel goes straight to the heart of the matter: how people think about money, how emotions shape financial decisions, and why intelligent people still make poor choices with their finances. The book doesn’t lecture you with formulas. It speaks to you. It speaks to your brain—the quiet assumptions you carry about wealth, success, security, and risk. It forces you to confront the uncomfortable reality that managing money well is far more about temperament than intelligence. One chapter that especially stood out to me is “The Seduction of Pessimism.” Housel explains why pessimism often sounds smarter than optimism. Doom and gloom feel analytical and sophisticated, while optimism can sound naive. But over long stretches of time—especially in markets and economic progress—optimism tends to be far closer to reality. It’s a beautifully written chapter and an important reminder for anyone who spends time around financial news or market commentary. What makes this book exceptional is its clarity and humanity. Housel understands that money isn’t just math—it’s tied to ego, fear, status, insecurity, and hope. And until you understand those forces, no spreadsheet or strategy will save you. If you read only one book about money, make it this one.

Great book
Format: Paperback
"The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel is a thought-provoking book that explores the complex relationship between money, greed, and happiness. Housel challenges conventional notions about wealth, arguing that it's not just about smart decisions, but also about behavior and psychology ¹. The book is divided into 20 short chapters, each tackling a different aspect of money psychology. Housel uses engaging storytelling and real-life examples to illustrate his points, making the book an enjoyable read. One of the key takeaways from the book is the importance of understanding your own values and priorities when it comes to money. Housel argues that money is a reflection of our values, and that our financial decisions should align with what's truly important to us ². The book also delves into the power of compounding, highlighting the benefits of long-term thinking and patient investing. Housel emphasizes that getting wealthy slowly is often a more sustainable and reliable approach than seeking overnight success ². Other notable themes in the book include the role of luck in financial outcomes, the dangers of complexity in financial decision-making, and the impact of stories and narratives on our financial behaviors ². Overall, "The Psychology of Money" is a insightful and accessible book that offers valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their relationship with money. As one reviewer noted, "This book is the book I wish I had read when I was young" ¹. *Key Takeaways:* - *Money as a Reflection of Values*: Understand your own values and priorities when it comes to money. - *The Power of Compounding*: Long-term thinking and patient investing can lead to significant financial gains. - *The Role of Luck*: Recognize the influence of chance and unforeseen circumstances on financial outcomes. - *Simplicity over Complexity*: Avoid complex financial decisions and focus on simplicity and clarity. - *The Impact of Stories*: Be aware of how narratives and stories shape your financial behaviors and decisions.

This book is incredibly effective. I enjoyed how everything was easy to understand and how it uses simple terms. Learning that money is about our behavior changed my perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone who is 16+ and interested in getting a head start on how to be smart with money!
