And I’ve recommended many of my friends to read it so I can talkabout it with them.” — Jasmine Guillory, author of The Wedding Date, TheProposal and the forthcoming book TheWedding Part.

It’s not a sweet book, but at the same time, it’s deeply hopeful aboutthe possibility of what happens when you work hard, what happens when you lovehard.” — Tayari Jones, author of AnAmerican Marriage, Silver Sparrowand other books.

The whale had swallowed 5.9 kilograms of plastic wastecontaining 115 plastic cups, four plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags, and morethan 1,000 other kinds of pieces of plastic, park chief Heri Santoso toldthe reporter.

“Although we have not been able to deduce the cause ofdeath, the facts that we see are truly awful,” said Dwi Suprapti, a marinespecies conservation co-ordinator at WWF Indonesia. She said it was notpossible to determine if the plastic had caused the whale’s death because ofthe animal’s advanced state of decay (腐烂). But this is only the latest.
