Betty is looking for a new PR agency, but there is a catch: whoever works for her has to follow her plan. She wants to see Hannah and Libby crush their own comfort zones, so they take her Enneagram-type quiz to reveal their challenges: analytical and introverted Hannah must go on twelve dates with twelve different men, while outgoing and creative Libby, who is not athletic by any means, must complete a rigorous obstacle course. They're both happy with the progress they're making-Hannah helps Libby train and Libby manages Hannah's dating app account and sets her up on dates. But everything gets derailed when Hannah's ex Josh rolls into town. Hannah knows she should keep her distance, but she still gravitates toward him. Libby, too, is distracted when she connects with a guy on the dating app, but the problem is he thinks she's Hannah-Hannah, who is much slimmer and more beautiful than Libby-which complicates everything. With their company's future at stake, they can't afford to fail their challenges, but in crushing their comfort zones, are they pushing themselves toward the wrong path?"--

A century after it sank to the bottom of the St. Lawrence River, the ruin of the Empress of Ireland has remained one of the most devastating tragedies in maritime history. Logan Marshall's vivid and detailed reportage was the first account of the disaster and has endured as a classic chronicle of what happened that fateful night.On May 28, 1914, the grand ocean liner, the Empress of Ireland, left Quebec on the St. Lawrence River, bound for an Atlantic crossing to Liverpool, England. At a few minutes before two o'clock on the morning of Friday, May 29, the Empress sighted the Norwegian collier, Storstad, at the same time as a heavy fog bank was descending. Despite warnings and evasive maneuvers, the Empress was struck on the starboard side by the Storstad, which penetrated its hull by twelve feet. The captain and crew had less than fifteen minutes to save their passengers before the ship slipped under the waves. Of the 1,475 aboard, 1,078 perished in a matter of minutes. It remains the worst peacetime catastrophe in Canadian history.In addition to his unforgettable account of the sinking, Logan Marshall also presents a gripping retelling of the Titanic disaster, as well as other maritime tragedies.
