Young, Restless, and Broke: A Novel
Contents:
Mariah fretted about what would happen if the guys got impatient and wanted to get rid of Tessa, but Tessa thought it would be over once she got them the money. Mariah offered to use her savings, but Tessa vehemently protested.
Tessa asked Mariah to help her find a job with better pay and more hours so that she could make as much money as quickly as possible. Later, Kyle almost didn't recognize Lola at the coffeehouse, and she asked how he'd liked his dinner. He called it the highlight of his day, and he offered to buy her a cup of coffee. She requested a double espresso. He invited her to join him, but she said it depended. Kyle claimed that he'd been savoring the anticipation as he worked up to asking Lola out, but she warned him not to wait too long.
Young, Restless, and Broke
He asked if she'd like to go on a date with him, and she replied that she'd get back to him. He requested her number, and she offered to send him a text message with some ideas about where to go. Lola wondered if she was being too pushy, but Kyle reasoned that he'd prefer to take her to a place she wanted to be to guarantee the evening started out right.
She thanked him for the espresso and looked forward to their date. At Dark Horse, Nick prompted Jack to talk about what was bugging him. Jack apologized for being preoccupied, and Nick assumed that it had to do with Jack's search for his dad. Jack confirmed that he'd been wondering whether he should end the "whole damn thing" because people had warned him to be careful what he wished for. Later, Victor appeared in Nick's office doorway and asked how Nick had been doing since his arrest.
Nick stated that he was doing damage control, and Victor referred to the media's hatchet job on the new company. Nick admitted that he'd suspected that Victor had turned him in to the cops and leaked the story, and Victor understood why Nick would think that, but he hadn't.
Victor described his meeting with Rey as a fishing expedition to find out more about Victor's relationship with Nick. Nick recounted that Rey had made a point of asking him about Victor as well, but the complexities in their relationship were nothing compared to what Victor had had with his own father.

Nick revealed that he'd mentioned Victor and Albert when talking to Jack about his search for his biological father, and Victor hoped that Nick had told Jack that Albert wasn't worth the breath spent talking about him. Nick replied that he hadn't been that kind, but he'd given Jack food for thought. After Victor departed, Mariah stopped by the office and asked Nick to hire Tessa. He realized that he could use help on a short-term project, making deliveries to a tech company and catching up on filing.
He inquired whether Tessa was willing to work nights, and Mariah thought Tessa would be thrilled.
Nick said Tessa could start that night, and Mariah thanked him with a hug. That evening, Nick instructed Tessa to organize some papers, and he mentioned that she'd be running hardware back and forth to a security firm. She asked what was wrong with their computers, but he declined to provide any details other than that she'd be removing files from the servers. He told her to call him if she had any problems, and she thanked him for saving her life by giving her a job. He headed out, but he smiled when he turned around and saw her excitedly jumping up and down.
Tessa heard a door close, and she called out to ask if anyone was there. She hid as someone approached, and she yelled out to stay away because she was armed. Mariah appeared with her headphones on, and she removed them and asked if Tessa was going to staple her to death. Mariah apologized for spooking Tessa, and she dropped off some food and figured she'd keep Tessa company.
See a Problem?
Tessa lamented that it seemed like she just kept taking while Mariah kept giving, but Mariah swore that Tessa made her feel happy and loved. At the Dive Bar, Summer explained that she'd thought she and Kyle were friends who could taunt and tease each other, but it had meant something different to him than to her. Phyllis advised her to give it time and not to stop gently reaching out to him. Phyllis added that it wasn't about what Summer wanted but what Kyle was feeling, and Summer curtly thanked her for the drink and prepared to leave.
Phyllis was surprised because she'd thought Summer was willing to take her advice, but Summer spat that she'd remembered that she was talking to a woman who always put herself first. Phyllis insisted that she was trying to build a bridge, which a lot of women wouldn't do after their daughter had gone after their boyfriend.
Phyllis didn't understand why Summer had done that to her, and Summer admitted that while she'd been attracted to Billy, she'd eventually realized that she'd done it to hurt Phyllis. Phyllis wondered what she'd done to justify Summer betraying her like that. Summer recounted that her mother had lied, cheated, and manipulated, but Phyllis had always had an explanation for every terrible thing she'd done.
Summer thought that putting distance between them had made her start seeing things in a new light. Summer blasted Phyllis for what she'd done to Jack by sneaking around with Billy, but Phyllis defended that she and Jack had both been broken people whose marriage had been in shambles. Summer thought Phyllis should have had the decency to walk away instead of sleeping with Jack's brother, and she pointed out that Phyllis had cheated on Billy, too. Summer condemned Phyllis for constantly hurting everyone around her, and Phyllis was stunned by how much pent-up anger Summer had toward her.

Summer said she still loved Phyllis, but she didn't think their relationship would ever be the same again. Phyllis wanted to find a way to forgive one another and move on. Summer doubted that was possible, and Phyllis conceded that it would take time because they had serious baggage. Phyllis thought that they had to start with honesty and understanding, and the conversation they were having had been the most real one they'd shared since Summer had been back.
Phyllis believed it was a step forward, and she was grateful for that. At the Athletic Club bar, Billy reviewed a text message about the impending deadline to buy into the elite gaming service. Jack asked if he had a minute for a drink, and Billy agreed while he waited for his takeout. Jack observed that Billy looked beat, and he guessed they were both having a rough day. Billy confided that he was contemplating an opportunity that felt like the right thing to do, and Jack questioned whether Billy had thought it through or if it was another notorious impulse. Jack thought Billy was being cagey with the details, and he asked if anyone could get hurt.
Billy replied no, and Jack urged him to go for it. Billy wondered why Jack was having such a rough day, and Jack explained that he was at a crossroads about whether to dig deeper in his search for his father or give it up. Billy contemplated whether there was any payoff when the man might be dead or a lowlife, and even if he wasn't either, it wasn't possible that the guy was as good as John Abbott. Billy saw a lot of potential for downside, and Jack thought it made sense.

Gloria primped at her desk and was startled when Billy returned. She announced that she was going home and pouring a big glass of wine, but he ordered her to send a confidential wire from Jabot's account before she left. He handed her a slip of paper with the transfer details, and she noted that it was quite a chunk of change.
He claimed that it was to meet the deadline to pay off a business loan, and he stepped into his office. Gloria reported that the wire had gone through, and Bill told her to enjoy the rest of her evening. She lectured that he shouldn't wait until the last minute, and he promised that there wouldn't be a next time. Jack settled down with a drink at home.
He got up to answer the door, but he stopped in his tracks when he saw Victor standing there. Victor accused Jack of prying into Victor's family's business, but Jack countered that he was only interested in his own family tree. Victor referred to the picture on GC Buzz of the man Jack thought was his father, and he announced that it was a picture of his father, Albert Miller. Victor questioned what had made Jack think that he was Albert's son. Jack explained that the photo had been taken at the country club, where his mother had claimed she'd met his father, and all the other candidates in the picture had been eliminated.
Victor huffed that Jack was basing his theory on nothing, but Jack suspected that Victor was there because he believed it himself. Victor imagined that Jack despised the idea that they might be related as much as he did, and he wondered why Jack was pursuing it. Victor guessed that Jack was after a stake in the company that Victor had built from the ground up.
Victor contended that Albert hadn't had anything to do with it, and Victor refused to let Jack ever claim a piece of Newman Enterprises. Jack contended that he was merely looking for the truth, but Victor retorted that Jack wouldn't know the truth if it bit him "in the ass. Victor barked that Albert Miller was burning in hell, and he would ask the devil to turn up the flames. Victor warned Jack not to take one step closer to his legacy and family.

The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante A novel about the derangement provoked by abandonment — not a sanitised kind of madness, but the real, dark thing.
The late Canadian novelist specialised in lonely misfits and the ordinary difficulties of human relationships. Like Solitude, its subject is the process of writing itself and of grief turning inward. Before We Met is creepy, tense, and closely observed. Hannah is less than 18 months into her marriage and waiting for her husband to fly in from New York. It is a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. There is something almost preternatural in its power. Villette tells the story of Lucy Snowe — a cauldron of repressed emotion and desire. Loosely at its centre is Jane Rosenal, a wisecracking single New Yorker who is suffering at the dating frontline and in some senses this book is a riposte to The Rules — a brutal and demoralising dating manual published five years earlier.
Though shoehorned into the chick-lit genre by some reviewers, and inevitably lined up alongside Bridget Jones, Bank was also likened to Lorrie Moore for the gentle ironies in her literary style.
