Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios Synopsis - Grace wants out. Out of her house, where her stepfather wields fear like a weapon and her mother makes her scrub imaginary dirt off the floors. Out of her California town, too small to contain her big city dreams. Out of her life, and into the role of Parisian artist, New York director—anything but scared and alone. Enter Gavin: charming, talented, adored. Controlling. Dangerous. When Grace and Gavin fall in love, Grace is sure it's too good to be true. She has no idea their relationship will become a prison she's unable to escape. Thoughts - This was a very important read, a kind of It Ends with Us for young adults. It is so hard to identify being in an abusive relationship especially when you are dating some so hot and popular, charismatic, someone you should be lucky even noticed you. And once you realize you are in a bad relationship how do you get out of it? I enjoyed the book, like the way it was written in retrospect, the fut

Last week M and I both got a year older..  We started celebrating over the weekend. We went out to dinner at Deal Lake Co & Bar. Great vibe, killer playlist and melt in your mouth burgers.   Afterwards we went to go watch the play Clue at our local theatre in Spring Lake. It was very enjoyable. And nothing ends a night better then some ice cream. We went to the nearby Hoffman's Ice Cream and they had such a great flavor selection, my salted caramel pretzel was excellent.  On my actual birthday I picked up my free birthday Starbucks and wandered the aisles of Target in between running errands and cooking and all that other adult stuff. and M brought home some of Melissa's bite sized cupcakes. The next morning, after the last child had gotten on the bus I put on my sparkle boots (birthday present) and M and I went out for breakfast. We talked about making this a monthly thing..  Then later in the week we went out to one of our favorite local restaurants, 618. The mocktails we

January was a bit of a blur and just like that it is already over.       We started the year off with H turning nine and hosted an epic secret agent birthday party for him.  I started the year of with a fun puzzle. It was super cute and easy. There was one missing piece though. We also made a visit to the orthodontist and found out that D has completed his invisalign treatment. And will now only have to wear a retainer at night.. wohoo. While I am not allowed to share his before teeth.. he did give me permission to share his after. He still has some baby teeth left so the doc will monitor accordingly. But the improvement has been massive.. especially if you knew what the before looked like. We also made a really short trip to Houston over a long weekend. My sister in law lives there and we hadn't seen them in a few years and her kids had been begging for a visit. We had a great time.. tons of family bonding and great food. Houston is the hub of desi (pakistani/indian) food.. and o
