This is tale that I heard in 3rd grade about a king who rewards an Indian wise man for helping his kingdom.

The wise man does not ask for gold but instead rice, as much rice as can fit on a chessboard.

Only with one caveat: The king must give one grain of rice for the first square on the board and

then double the grain for every square after that. The king is amused as he thinks it is such a trivial request

but does his kingdom actually have enough rice to fulfill the wise man's request?

Audrey is over romance. While dealing with her parents’ contentious divorce, a breakup of her own, and shifting friendship dynamics, she has every reason to feel cynical. But then she meets Harry, her fellow coworker at the local cinema. He’s brash, impulsive, and a major flirt. And even though Audrey tries to resist, she finds herself falling for his charms. But in this funny, insightful, and ultimately empowering novel, love—and life—isn’t what it’s like in the movies.

This book is for the reluctant reader, perhaps a young lady, so that they can become empowered to think about life and love in a different perspective than portrayed in the movies. Also, love stories are so engrossing! Nobody can help wanting to find out, "Will they? Won't they?"
