by Rebecca JenningsDate better, raise your standards, and learn to be true to yourself with these heartfelt lessons from the Villa.&“Can I pull you for a chat?&” &“Where&’s your head at?&” &“Maybe we should call it the &‘friendship island&’?&” &“Do I put all my eggs in one basket?&” &“Am I a mug?&” These are the questions that plague the Love Islanders competing for love in their sun-soaked villa—and those of us in the trenches of modern dating. They share the dilemmas that keep us up at night as we swipe, text, and ghost our way to finding a romantic spark. The #1 hit reality TV dating show does more than offer riveting poolside drama, genuinely touching romances (and bromances), and hours of contestants in bikinis having the most mundane conversations on the terrace. It provides an unvarnished portrait of dating, with plenty to say about love, self-worth, and putting yourself back together after a brutal recoupling. Be the Bombshell is a cheeky, laugh-out-loud playbook to navigating singlehood by embracing the absolute ten-out-of-ten, proper fit, total bombshell that you are. Feeling awkward about approaching people in public? Here&’s how to pull someone for a chat. Overcome by an &“ick?&” Maybe you just need to move beyond your &“type on paper.&” Recently been pied—or dumped? Invest in yourself before choosing to go out there again. In this unofficial title, Rebecca Jennings takes the most iconic and unforgettable moments from Love Island to remind us dating should be fun—not just tolerable. A witty love letter to Love Island superfans, hopeless romantics, and serial swipers, Be the Bombshell will teach you to demand what you want unapologetically and to tell the difference between what&’s worth the compromise and what&’s settling for less than you deserve. Your very own group chat to the best, worst, and weirdest parts of dating, Be the Bombshell steers you through the highs, lows, and the DMs you probably shouldn&’t send. Are you ready? A hot new bombshell has entered the Villa! This book is not authorized, sponsored, or affiliated with the television show Love Island.

Beaches of Wells (Images of America)
by Hope M. ShelleyLong before Maine became known as Vacationland in the 1890s, Wells beckoned promoters and guests from the inland cities of New England. During the 1850s and 1870s two grand hotels, complete with entertainment centers, accommodated these visitors. By 1885 the hotels had been destroyed by fires, but they were replaced with smaller boarding houses and private cottages. Beginning with the wealthy mill owners and industrialists and then expanding to include the working class, Wells' tourist industry has thrived for more than a century. Summer visitors have experienced Wells' multitude of natural resources. Miles of beach, rock-bound coast, and refreshing seabreezes beckon vacationers to return annually. In turn, Wells' economy, landscape, and development has catered to the needs of both these visitors and the year-round residents.
