Tiene una hermana menor, Irina, "la perfecta", y una madre que nadie le envidiaría. En una cena familiar, Irina anuncia que se va a casar. Lo que empieza como un festejo se convierte en amargura para Lucía cuando escucha, sin proponérselo, la apuesta que su madre hace con la hija menor: «Va a ir sola, gorda y vestida de negro al casamiento. Es más, si va con un novio, yo pago toda la fiesta. Y nada de amigos, compañeros de trabajo o acompañantes de favor; un novio de verdad». Muerta de rabia, Lucía decide en silencio desafiar esa apuesta. Tiene siete meses y medio para conseguir un novio "normal" y está dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa para lograrlo: salir con compañeros de trabajo, convocar a viejos amantes, buscar pareja en Internet. Cada cita es una oportunidad que no puede dejar pasar: un indigenista; un hombre obsesionado con su celular; un contador amarrete; un adicto a la televisión; un fanático del fútbol; un depresivo que habla con diminutivos.

by Greg HandExplore the eccentric side of yesterday's Queen CityCincinnatians today wrap themselves in a comforting blanket of serene conformity, soothed by the myth that the Queen City has always been a bland, somewhat Germanic, little backwater. History tells us otherwise. Old Cincinnati was a pretty strange place. UFOs? Witchcraft? Sea Monsters? Occult societies? Public executions? All very common in Old Cincinnati. Over its history, this burgeoning river metropolis pursued the unusual, the sensational and the controversial. Cincinnati was big - among the ten largest U.S. cities. And it was rude and crude, still shaking off the dust from its years as a frontier outpost. Much of the popular nightlife then would be illegal today.Buckle up as author Greg Hand leads a rambunctious tour through the old, weird Cincinnati.

Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling: And Other Feminist Fairy Tales
by Laura Lane Ellen Haunp.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.3px Times} This wickedly wise (and wisecracking) parody of classic fairy tales redefines happily ever after for the modern feminist era.You know what? It's super creepy to kiss a woman who is unconscious. And you know what else? The way out of poverty isn't by marrying a rich dude -- or by wearing fragile footwear, for that matter. And while we're at it, why is the only woman who lives with seven men expected to do the cooking, cleaning, and laundry?Fairytales need a reboot, and comedy queens Laura Lane and Ellen Haun are the women to do it. In Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling, they offer a rollicking parody of classic (read: patriarchal) tales that turns sweet, submissive princesses into women who are perfectly capable of being the heroes of their own stories. Mulan climbs the ranks in the army but wages a different war when she finds out she's getting paid less than her fellow male captains, Wendy learns never to trust a man-boy stalking her window, Sleeping Beauty's prince gets a lesson in consent, and more.Busting with laugh-out-loud, razor-sharp twists to these outdated tales, Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling is fun, magical, necessary, and totally woke.
