A woman struggling with burnout learns to embrace the unexpected—and the man she enlists to help her—in this new New York Times bestselling romance by Helen Hoang. When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. Translation: She's going to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better. That’s where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex—he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand. However, when tragedy strikes Anna’s family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.

"Recycling, Mergers and Acquisitions, HR business partner, synchronizing traffic lights, innovation culture, going digital, supporting rural areas, E-cigarettes, saving water campaigns, and cost-cutting initiatives. They all fail to deliver their promises. They provide merely an illusion of progress. They are decorating the fish. In our book, Stop Decorating the Fish, we illustrated how private and public organizations, make the same mistake over and over when trying to improve and solve a problem they spend significant time and resources on actions that may seem like they can improve the situation but actually do not address the core issue. They are decorating the problem without actually solving it. The World of Decorating the Fish provides twelve indicators that will help you identify when your organization is decorating the fish. Think of these indicators as tools to help you develop and hone your ability to determine whether you are really addressing the core issue. This book can be used to review and evaluate current and new improvement initiatives in your organization." -- Amazon.com
