Book Review- A Sucky Love Story:Overcoming Unhappily Ever After by Brittani Louise Taylor

I feel like it's hard to really "Review" this book because it is based off a true story and it is a heartbreaking story about Domestic Abuse about this man that Brittani fell in love with and had a child with that was just a horrible person.

The story starts out pretty normal... Brittani met him on Tinder and she didn't totally trust him at first because he asked her out and then he didn't talk to her at all the day they were supposed to go out. She agreed to meet with him anyway and he just kind of kept asking her out. She had her guard up at first, but eventually he told a little more of his story and Brittani fell for him completely.

Now I had watched Brittani's videos for years and she had always mentioned that she was waiting until marriage to... well you know. So when she posted a video called "I'm engaged and pregnant" I was a little shocked... and to be honest the story felt a little sudden and kind of strange. They were "engaged" before she got pregnant I think? But it was just very sudden and the story seemed kind of... weird.

My thoughts on that aside... the book kind of explains everything that was happening behind those videos. All of his verbal abuse, the fights with his mom, the lies about... basically every aspect of his life. I don't really want to spoil the book... but the man Brittani meets in the beginning of the story is just someone that her fiance made up... Brittani still doesn't know if a lot of the details he was telling were true or not. There was a woman that claimed to be his mother... but at the end of the book she wasn't so sure. She also wasn't sure if he really was a doctor or not... or if his name was even real. There was just a lot that she admits at the end of the book to this day she still has no idea.

I really don't want to give too many details of this story because I really want everyone to go and read this for yourselves. It's hard to find now- but it is available on Barnes and Noble (their website and in some stores)  and she's rushing to reprint it now. But Brittani is a really fantastic writer. She has a good true story to tell and she's a great narrator. Her voice in the book is so strong... I don't listen to audiobooks, but this one would probably be a great one because she's finally getting her voice out there and she has a really strong voice because of it.

This book is amazing. Highly recommend... it does not take long to read at all because it is so suspenseful you kind of need to read it all at once... it is just a great one.

Bye! Hope you like this review!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
