It affected me more than I expected! This is great psychological thriller but also heart wrenching romance This book is about what women can do when they hopelessly and a little madly in love! It’s great approach to the anatomy of toxic and dysfunctional relationships, real pain and deep suffering to deal with mental illnesses! This book has tragic love stories, reflecting dark sense of humor of Hepworth perfectly! Twists are mostly surprising and unforeseen! Especially the last one: broke my heart and made me scream a lot!

Kon-Tiki was not Thor Heyerdahl’s first book. The possibilities it presented turned worlds upside-down, challenging the very foundations of what most believed to be unshakable facts regarding human history across the continents. What this book ever did for Polynesian (or South American) anthropology in the second half of the 20th century, I’m not certain, but what it did to readers at the time of publication was mind-altering. He and his six-man crew of scientists and educators sailed this craft across the Pacific Ocean, hoping to prove that the original inhabitants of Polynesia may have arrived there from the East, from the Americas, in rafts like the ones he and his team designed. Roughly stated, this book tracks Heyerdahl’s attempts at crafting and sailing a simple raft from Peru to Polynesia. Both my parents had long ago recommended this one to me, but only recently did I finally take the time to read it. Ever since I first caught scent of adventurers’ tales and travelogues back in high school, I have been on the lookout for Time’s greatest hits, written accounts of the most timeless journeys of them all. Few books have been so long on my to-read list as this, Thor Heyerdah’s epic rafting account, Kon-Tiki. Here the book asks us to wonder about the nature of happiness. On the final page, we see Elizabeth joyfully heading into the sunset, still in her paper bag, and leaving behind the prince. This brings up questions about what it means to be in a role such as a princess, leading into the greater topic of one’s identity in general. As we move more into gender roles, the book poses a similar topic by having Ronald call out Elizabeth for not looking like a princess. This brings up valuable questions about gender roles and fairy tale norms–why princes aren’t always kidnapped and princesses are. The Paper Bag Princess begins by taking a scene present in almost all fairy tales and promptly shakes things up by having the prince kidnapped and the princess going to the rescue. CeCe Guidelines for Philosophical Discussion Introduction Ronald tells her to come back when she looks like a “real princess.” Elizabeth responds by telling the prince he’s a bum. When Ronald sees Elizabeth in a paper bag rather than beautiful princess clothes, he is disgusted. Elizabeth outwits the dragon by asking him to perform feats of strength until he passes out. Elizabeth puts on a paper bag and sets off to save Ronald. Before they are able to marry, a dragon swoops down, burns down the castle and everything with it, and kidnaps Prince Ronald.
