Free Love by Tessa Hadley audiobook review – female self-discovery (The Guardian)

Actor Abigail Thaw narrates this intimate and gripping story of political and sexual awakening in middle-class suburbia.

She was pleased with her life.” And yet her comfortable commuter-belt existence is upended with the arrival of their dinner guest, Nicholas, a young socialist and would-be reporter whom she kisses in a moment of impulsiveness while searching for a missing shoe in the garden. The actor Abigail Thaw is the narrator, her cut-glass delivery aptly reflecting Phyllis’s middle-class background and her innate brittleness that gradually falls away as she casts aside her safe yet sheltered life. The year is 1967 and 40-year-old Phyllis Fischer is sitting at her dressing table applying lipstick ahead of an informal dinner she is hosting for the son of a family friend.

Tessa Johnson of St. Michael-Albertville named McDonald's All ... (FOX 9)

Tessa Johnson of St. Michael-Albertville is the latest girls basketball star to be selected to the McDonald's All-American Game.

She’s the seventh girls’ player in state history to be named a McDonald’s All-American. I still have more to prove, and still need to make a better name for myself," Johnson said. Johnson nearly led the Knights to a state championship last season, and the goal is to get back there this year. That changed in the past week as Johnson was selected to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game, which features the top 24 girls and boys basketball players in the country. I looked at it and I just stared at it because I was honestly in disbelief. In 18 years as a head coach, Hamre had never had a McDonald’s All-American.

Pauline Chalamet, Tessa Thompson, and More of the Bestest Party ... (The Cut)

We've rounded up the best looks from celeb events this week. Included: Tessa Thompson, Omar Apollo, and Pauline Chalamet.

You could receive a bouquet of flowers, or you could wear them — Hannah Traore chose the latter. DJ Mei Kwok provided the sounds, and Angelica Hicks, Charlott Cordes, and Renata Zandonadi posed in color-coordinated looks. Joined by an equally stylish friend, the model mixed and matched heavy metals and patterns for an excellently executed look at Iconic Magazines in New York. While this is a good look overall, our eyes are on the little details, like her sage-green mani and very subtle cat-eye. Anderson .Paak provided the music; Grey Goose provided the cocktails. Buck up, kids: It may be freezing out this weekend, but party season is heating up, which means it’s time to leave the house again.
