The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

effrontery

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 5, 2026 is: effrontery \ih-FRUN-tuh-ree\ noun Effrontery is a formal word that refers to bold shamelessness, or in other words an attitude or way of behaving that is both confident and shocking or rude. // Holly could not believe the sheer effrontery of the student who asked that her grade be changed even though she had completed little of the coursework. See the entry > Examples: “Big Nose kicks up a loud fuss when a squirrel, chipmunk or bird has the effrontery to cross on the deck while he is lazily laying with his eyes peeking out the patio door glass.” — Barry Ellsworth, The Trenton (Ontario) Trentonian, 4 June 2026 Did you know? A bald-faced liar (or barefaced liar, if you prefer) is one who has no shame about their dishonesty. Is it possible to be so shameless, so bald or bare of face as to be completely without a forehead? If this strikes you as an odd question (it is), consider the history of effrontery, a formal synonym of such informal words for shamelessness as nerve, cheek, and gall. The word traces back to the Medieval Latin adjective effrons, formed by combining the Latin prefix ex-, meaning “out” or “without,” with frons, the Latin word for “forehead.” Medieval Latin users didn’t use it to mean “without forehead,” however, but “shameless.” While the connection between the word’s literal origins and figurative meaning is unclear, some theorists have noted frons was sometimes used for the ability to blush, suggesting that someone acting with effrontery betrays no embarrassed feelings (visibly, at least) about their mendacity.

fulsome

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 4, 2026 is: fulsome \FULL-sum\ adjective Fulsome describes someone or something that is generous in amount, extent, or spirit. // They were fulsome in their praise of her efforts to raise money for the new wing of the children’s hospital. // A day after offering a weak non-apology for instigating a bases-clearing brawl, the pitcher expressed more fulsome regrets at a press conference, taking full responsibility. See the entry > Examples: “... her archive, now kept at Yale University, forms the basis of this lusty, vibrant and fittingly multi-textured bio-doc that pays fulsome tribute to [Barbara] Hammer’s shapeshifting, once undervalued but now increasingly revered talent.” — Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter, 4 Sept. 2026 Did you know? In the 19th century, fulsome was mostly a literary term used disapprovingly to describe excessive, insincere praise and flattery. This meaning is still current, but since the early 20th century fulsome has been increasingly used with far more positive meanings, among them “abundant, copious” (as in “wrote in fulsome detail”) and “full and well developed” (as in “a fulsome voice”). The result is some amount of confusion: a phrase like “fulsome praise” used today without clarifying context may rightly be understood to mean either “abundant praise” or “excessive and obsequious praise.” While some critics object to the pleasanter meanings of fulsome, they are in fact true to the word’s origins: when it was first used in the 14th century, fulsome meant “abundant, copious.”

E4 - David Larbi | The Courage to Be Frequently Happy

What does it take to become Frequently Happy? Today, the Wodcast sits down with David Larbi, poet, bestselling author of Frequently Happy, and one of the UK's most thoughtful voices on joy, creativity and emotional wellbeing, for a deeply reflective conversation about poetry, presence and the courage it takes to live authentically. Together they explore why happiness begins with contentment, the relationship between creativity and self-discovery, and how words can help us better understand our emotional landscape. Along the way, they discuss burnout, boundaries, the importance of silence in a noisy world, and why doubt may be one of the most underrated qualities we possess. Drawing on his own journey as a writer and creator, David reflects on what it means to create from a place of honesty rather than performance, why "if I haven't processed it, I'm not posting it," and how learning to embrace the ordinary moments of life might be the truest path to becoming frequently happy. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, to your words, your body and your inner life and to discover that perhaps happiness isn't something extraordinary after all, but something quietly waiting to be noticed. ───── Topics include: Contentment and happiness The philosophy behind Frequently Happy Poetry and creativity Authenticity in the digital age Burnout and setting boundaries Emotional vocabulary Curiosity and doubt Silence in a noisy world Presence and everyday joy The art of paying attention ───── More from the Wodcast: ➟ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/wod.cast/ ➟ Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wodcast/id1896893830 ➟ YouTube – https://youtube.com/@wodcast_channel ➟ Substack – https://wodcast.substack.com/ ➟ Website – https://wodcast.co.uk/ ───── See you next Wednesday for our word reflection ‘mini-episode’ on Substack, where hosts Mabel & Ben unpack David's weight-bearing words and reflect on the ideas, stories and moments that stayed with them. ✨ Substack live link :https://open.substack.com/live-stream/297151
