It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t as good as the others I’ve been devouring this summer. A certain amount of disbelief must be suspended when reading book like this, so I didn’t mind the set up in the beginning — I just wasn’t all that wild about how it ended. “Is Jeff right? Am I unable to create anything because I see […]

And then I remembered I needed someone to write a review with me!! Badkittyuno: I love rom-coms. (Caitlin_D: we both do) In fact, one of my favorite things about my fiance is that he is 100% willing to watch silly romantic movies with me. And as a child of the 90s (and a huge Nora Ephron […]

And by hitting publish, I will be 100% caught up on reviews! (4 stars) Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren I am on a Christina Lauren kick. After loving The Unhoneymooners, a friend recommended Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating — and about half a dozen other books by the writing duo. So far, I have not been disappointed! “I learned a very important thing that day: my mom would never try to change for a man, and I wouldn’t, either.” […]

Now that I’m done with Bingo, I am determined not to let myself get behind on reviews again.
