The Authenticity Project: The feel-good novel you need right now

Product Information

Eventually, the tone darkens and the story narrows to focus on Jude as the pain of his past cuts deep into his carefully constructed life.

There aren’t even many markers of what’s happening in the outside world; Jude moves to a loft in SoHo as a young man, but we don’t see the neighborhood change from gritty artists’ enclave to glitzy tourist destination. Before long, the others who find the green notebook add the truths about their own deepest selves--and soon find each other in real life at Monica's café. The huge, modern mecca of the Chelsea Football Club loomed ahead and there, in its shadow and sandwiched improbably between the two separate entrances for the home and away fans, was a tiny, perfectly formed village of studio houses and cottages, behind an innocuous wall that Monica must have walked past hundreds of times. It’s a feel good read that will make you wonder about the stories of those around you and maybe encourage a little more kindness and understanding as everyone has their own authentic selves hidden inside and it may not be the image you see. The Authenticity Project cracks the facades that people present to the world and shows what happens when you're willing to share your true self.It's a story about being brave and putting your real self forward--and finding out that it's not as scary as it seems. JB bases his entire artistic career on painting portraits of his friends, while Malcolm takes care of them by designing their apartments and houses. I let the paint dry solid on the palette and, one unbearably long night, destroyed all my unfinished canvases; ripped them into multicolored streamers, then diced them into confetti with Mary's dressmaking scissors.

Through these very different characters we get to know them all better as well as this group of people all starting to become friends. Slowly, all these strangers become connected, and the reader realizes that authenticity is more complicated than it seems.It reminded me of that warm uplifting movies that we like to watch from time to time, because we know that each storyline will have a happy ending and that is exactly why one should read this book. Secondary characters, including an interracial gay couple, appear with their own nuanced parts in the story. comfort read που θα σας αγγίξει και θα ζεστάνει τις μέρες σας, τότε «Το Πράσινο Σημειωματάριο» είναι αυτό που θέλετε!

There was more on the next page, and Monica was dying to read on, but it was one of the busiest times of the day in the cafe, and she knew it was crucial not to fall behind schedule. Clare Pooley graduated from Newnham College, Cambridge and spent twenty years in the heady world of advertising. In addition to telling her secrets and leaving the notebook for someone else to find, she sets out to try and make a difference in Julian’s life. The Authenticity Project is a story that will have you routing for all the characters and that they find their happy ever after, whether that be in love or in life.

I read it together with two of my friends, Amanda and Monika, a even though not either of us ended up liking it, we still enjoyed our conversations a jokes, so for that reason, I am very glad we read it.
