Instead of jetting off with fiancé Cole for their honeymoon in paradise, she’s freezing at home while trying to ignore everyone’s pity for "that poor jilted Ms Magnusson."

Enter Nari, Sylvie’s best friend, who plans a trip to Lapland to see the Northern Lights and get Sylvie’s mojo back. But as their Lapland getaway approaches, Sylvie realizes she’ll be holidaying in the hometown of Stellan Virtanen, her dreamy Finnish ex-boyfriend, the one that got away (or...ran away, and Sylvie never understood why). When Stellan and Sylvie are reunited in the town of Frozen Falls, she’s delighted to see that he’s just as hot as she remembers–and when he shows her the romantic delights of Lapland, he becomes the perfect medicine for her broken heart.

It's a humorous and harrowing tale of warped populism, phony reform, and blind deference to the nation's financial elite. As the author explains, American class privilege is very much like the idea of sex in a Catholic school--it's not supposed to exist in the first place, but once it presents itself in your mind's eye, you realize that it's everywhere. A concise and easy-to-use guide, Rich People Things catalogs the fortifications th...
