For seventeen-year-old Denver, music is everything. Writing, performing, and her ultimate goal: escaping her very small, very white hometown.
So Denver is more than ready on the day she and her best friends Dali and Shak sing their way into the orbit of the biggest R&B star in the world, Sean “Mercury” Ellis. Merc gives them everything: parties, perks, wild nights — plus hours and hours in the recording studio. Even the painful sacrifices and the lies the girls have to tell are all worth it.
Until they’re not.
Denver begins to realize that she’s trapped in Merc’s world, struggling to hold on to her own voice. As the dream turns into a nightmare, she must make a choice: lose her big break, or get broken.

LOST reading list
a list of books read by characters in lost for you to enjoy (or not). this isn't every book referenced in lost. for all that and more, see the "literary works" page on lostpedia, where im getting my info
no, my criteria for this list is that it's been read by a lost character. i'll tell you who (you'll see sawyers name a lot), and i'll add if it's somebody's fave book. this list will not include things like the bible or the qur'an or historical texts, as that while that can technically be recreational reading (it seems to be for ben), i'd rather not
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (read by Jack)
Are You There God? It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume (read by Sawyer)
A Brief History of Time by Stephan Hawking (read by Ben)
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (read by Ben)
Caravan of Dreams by Idries Shah (read by Ben)
Carrie by Stephen King (Read by Juliet, Ben and various other Others. This is Juliet's favourite book)
The Chosen by Chaim Potok (read by Sawyer)
Dark Horse by Tami Hoag (read by Jack)
The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger by Stephen King (read by Ben)
Dirty Work by Stuart Woods (read by Jack)
Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor (read by Jacob)
Evil Under The Sun by Agatha Christie (read by Sawyer)
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (read by Ben)
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (read by Ben)
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (read by Sawyer)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling (read by Jack)
Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salmon Rushdie (read by Desmond)
Hotel by Arthur Hailey (read by Ben)
The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares (read by Sawyer)
Lancelot by Walker Percy (read by Sawyer)
Laughter in the Dark by Vladimir Nabokov (read by Hurley)
Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky (read by Ilana)
The Oath by John Lescroart (read by Ben)
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck (read by Sawyer. This is Sawyer's favourite book and author)
Roots by Alex Haley (read by Ben)
A Separate Reality by Carlos Castaneda (read by Ben)
The Sheltering Shy by Paul Bowles (read by Ben)
Ulysses by James Joyce (read by Ben)
Valhalla Rising by Clive Cussler (read by Ben and Jack)
VALIS by Philip K. Dick (read by Ben)
Watership Down by Richard Adams (read by Boone and Sawyer)
A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle (read by Sawyer)
Every work by Charles Dickens other than Our Mutual Friend (read by Desmond. This is his favourite author)
I encourage you to speculate on the character implications put forth by these reading choices. This can raise such questions as: Jack is a Harry Potter fan? What is Desmond's favourite book by Charles Dickens? Boone can read??
Thank you for your time

What do you think might be Carlos’ strengths?
Vasseur: "Some people know this story, but not everyone. When I was at Renault I was the first to get Carlos in touch with the team. Even when I moved to Sauber I tried to have him with us. I think this is enough to confirm the confidence I have in his qualities. I am convinced that he is a very strong driver.
I would add that I was very positively surprised by the relationship between the two guys. I had dinner with them separately, then all together, and we've had the chance to spend a lot of time together over the last few weeks.
I have to say that compared to the Carlos I remembered, I found a more mature person, and the same goes for Charles after these years at Ferrari. I think the collaboration between them is much stronger than it appears from the outside."

Tami's interactions with Templars
Another idea from @fancysteawberrybeard! Thank you once again! 💗
I will admit that I will use a few Templars, because I don't know much about them, so Tami only had interactions with a few of them. I hope you don't mind. 😊
Tami meets the Templars for the first time when she starts going on missions. They're her enemies, so mostly relationships are hostile, but there are some little exceptions.
Haytham: Although he is the main enemy of the Assassin's Brotherhood, Tami has some respect and fear for him. Once she and Altaïr almost got him, but Edward stopped them, because he is his son, and thanks for that, Haytham successfully escaped from them.
Shay: Haytham's right-hand man and former assassin is a dangerous opponent. But Tami knows his reason for betraying the brotherhood. Once she was injured during one of the missions, Shay was about to shoot her, but then he felt guilty, left her alone and disappeared before her partner came to save her. At that time Tami realized that not all Templars are purely cruel and evil people, but that doesn't mean their actions are right and must be stopped.
Abstergo Industries: Tami had noticed their products before, which were overpriced despite the poor quality. She and her family regard Abstergo's products as a scam. Later, after joining the Brotherhood, she found out that Abstergo Industries is a Templar's company so they could more easily manipulate the public.
Lucy Stillman: In one mission, Tami and some assassins were captured by Abstergo and imprisoned. She met Lucy with Vidic, who felt sorry for the young assassin. Later, when the assassins came to rescue her and the other captives, Lucy decided that she would help Tami escape and accompany her to the assassins. Tami thanks her and promises that if they ever meet again, she won't kill her.
Daniel Cross: He is another former assassin and Nikolai's great-grandson. He trains new recruits for the Templar Order. Tami notices him whispering something like he always hears voices and wants them to stop. Thanks to Rebecca and Shaun, she knows Daniel suffers from the Bleeding Effect, which affects his life, which made her feel empathy for him.
Warren Vidic: He had planned to research the history of Tami's ancestry, which she was against so she wouldn't get the Bleeding Effect. In the prison, she watched helplessly as the prisoners were being tortured, which made Tami cry and rage at the same time. When the assassins came to save Tami and others, Vidic wanted to stop her, but he was assassinated by Desmond.
Juhani Otso Berg: He is an Abstergo Industries agent. Tami only saw him around when she was imprisoned. Truth be told, Juhani is a mystery to her and she doesn't know more about him.
Robert de Sablé: Whoever is Altaïr's archenemy, so is Tami's. He was also a threat to the TaE Family (her adoptive family), because he wanted to take over their land and destroy everything they had built for years. Later, Tami tried to assassinate Robert to save her home, but he easily defeated her. At the last minute he was assassinated by Altaïr.
Charles Lee: Haytham’s another right hand. Connor mentioned that he would kill him one day. Tami doesn't see much Charles during the fights, because he is afraid of Connor.
Cesare Borgia: General of the Templar Order, but he would like to become a Grandmaster and usually complains that he is not. Tami sees him as a power-hungry lunatic and wonders why the Templars tolerate him.
Jamal: He was a traitor to the brotherhood and Tami's first target. Of course Altaïr was going to help her with her first assassination mission, which she was afraid of. When they found him, Tami lunged at him but Jamal fought back and was about to stab her with his dagger. Altaïr, panicking that he will lose his lover, attacked Jamal, who unexpectedly wounded him. Left with no choice, Tami stabbed Jamal's neck with her hidden blade. Tami stared at her bloody hand in horror… She took someone's life… Altaïr calmed her down, dipped the feather in Jamal's blood and hurried back to the bureau.

Hey sorry to bother you, l've been trying to read Charles' L'Equipe interview but can't find it (I don't have twitter)
I see you've been talking about it with some of your anons, so I was wondering if you had a link or smth ? (French or English)
No worries if you don't, just thought I'd ask!
Have a nice day!! (Well evening rather)
you're not bothering me at all!
So the actual article is behind a paywall and I don't have a way of getting past it.
But Tami translated a lot of it on twitter. Pretty much all of her last tweets are excerpts from the interview. And you should be able to read them without a twitter acount too.

People are so predictable. Charles was involved in a racing incident after having his 2 previous races compromised but still extracting the most out of the car in those cases and he's being pulled apart and his "mistake" is being analysed and his mental state is being questioned (even after only showing a fraction of annoyance after 3 weeks of disappointment) yet Carlos, who was no where in the first 2 races, then finally showed some form only to buckle under pressure 2 laps to the end and then get really upset about it and not accept it's his mistake, is getting defended by everyone and their mother and his "attitude" is applauded. Charles really is held to a completely different standard.
(also, I feel like none of these journalists actually watch a full f1 weekend, not a single race review/race rating etc mentioned the Ferrari fuck up in qualy, they all saying charles was poor in qualy. Like if someone did their job properly and looked at the telemetry they'd see what actually happened, but ofc this is expecting too much)
No, you're absolutely right 👏🏻
I guess it's the name of the game, but it's definitely frustrating that generally only one side of the story or a certain angle gets publicly pushed while everything that wasn't broadcast at the time goes completely ignored. The Carlos situation is baffling. I mean, it's been the case for the past two seasons already and it's showing no signs of stopping. So many situations where the telemetry or unaired team radios were inconsistent with what he was claiming and yet? I don't know what it is, but it seems that a lot of people have their rose-tinted glasses firmly on when it comes to him. And I guess that's fine if you're talking about fans debating amongst each other on Twitter or Reddit; less fine if you're getting actual journalist peddling those same narratives.
Acting like the lap "didn't exist" therefore no penalty should be awarded is just... We've literally seen this scenario play out before, in Silverstone last year. You didn't hear him protest when he got to re-start on pole despite making a mistake and handing the lead to Max at the "proper" start. 🤨
Tumblr media
Also, as Tami noted, there seems to be this weird ennui that sets in when a driver is like 80% through their Ferrari contract. If they haven't brought a title to Maranello in that time it must be because they're too mistake prone/emotional/washed and not because the team has a myriad of unaddressed issues. Or because they simply have no answer to their dominant counterparts. I will say that a lot of people, fans and "blue ticks" alike, did launch a counter-campaign on social media and rightfully pointed out how ridiculously loaded and unprofessional that article was. But this blame narrative isn't new, it's cyclical, and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more of these kinds of comments/articles in the coming months or into next year, unfortunately.

The Kamins Family Tree (and House)
I thought that with the first full appearance of the Kamins family, I should share the family tree that I created for them.
Tumblr media
(More under the cut)
Of course, we have Dr. Henry Kamins (he was given the name Henry in the novelization). He is the head of the pediatrics department at the Fairwater Medical Center. Hazel worked as a teacher at Fairwater Elementary before being promoted to the principal.
Charles works as a pastor at Fairwater's First Church of God; in fact, he was the one who officiated Frank and Lucy's wedding. His wife, Tami, took over as the editor-in-chief at the Fairwater Gazette after Magda Rees-Jones' death. After miscarrying an unnamed baby girl and the stillbirth of Lucas Kamins, they welcomed a daughter named Annette via surrogacy.
Laura is an archivist for the Fairwater Public Library. She married her first husband, Jim Meyers, in a shotgun wedding when she was 17, welcoming their son Eric a few months later. Jim teaches English at Fairwater High School. Laura and Jim divorced two months after the birth of their daughter, Brianna, due to irreconcilable differences. Her second husband, Elliot Donnelly, is an assistant DA, like Maureen. With Elliot, she had two more children: Anton and Natalie.
Maureen, as I've mentioned, is an ADA. Her husband, Brian is a social worker for the state of Maine. They only have one daughter, Chelsea.
This is the charming Victorian where Henry and Hazel have lived throughout their marriage, at 5762 River Pine.
Tumblr media
This was Hazel’s wedding dress in 1962:
