FYI-- Recent studies have found that faces are significantly MORE attractive when covered with a mask. Studies ALSO suggest that people look MUCH YOUNGER with their faces covered too. SOO--If I keep the lower third of my face covered I will look MORE ATTRACTIVE AND YOUNGER.??? SEE MY DILEMMA? Listen--I hate the mask as much as the next person BUT there are many PERKS TO KEEPING IN ON. NOT only will I look younger and more attractive BUT I can also talk to myself, leave spinach in my teeth, have coffee breath, forget my lipstick--AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW. I can also hide my NOSE that is wider than the Grand Canyon, acne, coffee stained teeth, wrinkles, dry skin, nose hair, cracked lips. It should really be a NO brainer. BUT........I don't know. Maybe I'll chance it--maybe-just-maybe the LOWER THIRD OF MY FACE isn't THAT BAD. I guess it's a risk I'll have to take.....AND SO WILL YOU. While you're pondering life without a mask, you just might want to read Liane Moriarty's new book
Apples Never Fall. Set in Sydney, Stan and Joy Delaney seem to have everything. They've been married for 50 years and have four grown children. They are former tennis pros, who have just sold their tennis academy and plan to retire. One evening, a mysterious, seemingly battered woman named Savannah knocks on their door in need of help. Joy welcomes Savannah and even lets her stay at the house to sort out her life--much to the chagrin of her children. Several months later, Joy goes missing and her husband Stan is the prime suspect. While two of the siblings believe their father may have killed Joy, the other two are determined to prove his innocence. The story flips back and forth in time as the children reexamine their lives and their parents' marriage in an effort to uncover the mystery. This family drama is laugh out loud funny at times as the family dynamics of the siblings and old resentments reappear but remember it is also a mystery. What happened to Joy? Is Stan involved in her disappearance? Where is Savannah? Will the siblings learn from their mistakes and forgive the past? Find out for yourself when you read this 480 page book. It's an easy 5 mile run that I really enjoyed.
