Asta would rather spend her life performing in the village theater with her friends and fellow outcasts: her best friend Gunnar Fuglestad and his secret boyfriend, wealthy Erlend Fournier.<br \/>\nBut the situation takes a dire turn when Nils lashes out in jealousy\u2014gravely injuring Gunnar. Shunning marriage for good, Asta moves with Gunnar and Erlend to their secluded cabin above town. With few ties left with their families, they have one shot at gaining enough kroner to secure their way of life: win the village's annual horse race.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-11-04T10:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Thursday and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for THE RECKLESS KIND!

Where would you go to eat, hang out, relax, etc.?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asta would love to spend a day doing anything involving animals\u2014so, bottle-feeding some rescued piglets, hanging out with some sheep, taking ponies down to the beach for a ride&#8230; those are probably the things we\u2019d do together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erlend, Gunnar, and I would probably go for a drive in Gunnar\u2019s motorcar, and then Gunnar would shake his head in dismay as Erlend and I would spend way too much money shopping and dining out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If&nbsp; Asta,&nbsp;Gunnar, and Erlend&nbsp;were&nbsp;to hang out with characters from other books, who would they be and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think they\u2019d all be very good friends with Ingrid, Alex, and the crew from the forthcoming Fire Becomes Her by Rosiee Thor. It\u2019s a 1920\u2019s-vibe fantasy with an absolutely wonderful cast of characters. I think Asta, Gunnar, and Erlend would be thrilled to be magically transported into a 1920s alternate reality and hang out with such an awesome group that questions their social structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If there was one fictional place you could travel to for a day, where would it be and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Circe\u2019s island in Madeline Miller\u2019s CIRCE. Being alone on an island in my own castle with a bunch of animal friends would definitely be the dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>If you buried a time&nbsp;capsule with three items inside, what three items would you choose and&nbsp;why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay but when will the time capsule be opened?

So, probably:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-A weather-proof, laminated note that says something like \u201cAre you people still doing the capitalism? If so, why? Also: please stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-A copy of <em>Red, White, and Royal Blue<\/em> by Casey McQuiston because I just feel like that captures this current time period really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; A single doge coin and a note that says <em>This is actual currency<\/em>&#8230; (I admit, this one is a stretch, I\u2019ve been trying to come up with something clever and this is all I got)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>What was your favorite bit of research you ended up not using?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe it was in UNPROTECTED FEMALES IN NORWAY (written in the 1855s) where the narrator described Norwegian beds as being so small\/short that you couldn\u2019t lay in them stretched out.
