Hallmark Movie Review: Next Stop, Christmas

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/next-stop-christmas

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This movie grows on me more and more each time I watch it. I missed the beginning on premier night, but really enjoyed the ending. I’ve missed it playing a few times since. I’m sure it’s shocking, but I’m one of the few people in the world without a DVR 😲 Now that I’ve caught the beginning, here is my quick re-cap and full two cents.

Quick Re-Cap

Angie was too busy with life to see what was missing. When she hops on her normal train ride home, she ends up being sent back to the year 2011. Now she must figure out why she’s in 2011 and what she needs to fix.

My Two Cents

First, y’all need to know that I’m not a friends to romance fan. It’s one of my least favorite plots. I really don’t understand how you can be friends with someone your whole life and not realize you’re hot for them. I mean, how do you not feel that pull to kiss them or fantasize about them at night?

But these two sold it. I could see Ben’s love of Angie from the very beginning. The way he looked at her and interacted with her; his love was obvious.

Angie’s love was less obvious. There was a comment that she never took their relationship seriously and I think that’s true. I don’t think she ever took any relationship seriously. Especially not a childhood relationship. So, it seemed believable to me.

Angie not taking anything seriously was a fun theme within this movie. I loved when she tells Ben about him choking on a gum drop and he doesn’t believe her. So when Ben chokes, Angie’s tone and reaction to him were fantastic!

Besides the humor, there was a lot of nostalgia with Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson. My Back to the Future loving soul ate up this reunion! It was a brilliant idea to include them in this modern time travel movie. In fact, I love that Hallmark is doing all these pair ups this season!!

Humor and nostalgia not your thing? Well, there’s also a very feels worthy story line with Angie’s sister struggling to conceive. Plus a lovely scene at the end of the movie that had me in tears!

Even if magic and time travel aren’t your thing, you might like this movie. It’s so funny, cute, and sweet that I think it’ll appeal to most people. I loved it! It’s definitely on my Countdown to Christmas must watch list.

Hallmark Movie Review: Boyfriends of Christmas Past

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/boyfriends-of-christmas-past

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s refreshing to see some new faces this Countdown to Christmas season! These two were great from beginning to end. Here’s a quick re-cap and my full two cents.

Quick Re-Cap

Lauren has closed herself off from relationships, so her ex-boyfriends of the past have come to haunt her into changing her standoffish ways. Hopefully these ex-boyfriends can show Lauren what she’s missing before it’s too late.

My Two Cents

I had so many ups and downs with this movie. One minute I was laughing and really into the movie, and the next I was looking at my phone and wondering when this would be over. Is it my mood tonight or the movie at fault for me losing interest? I’m not sure. Let’s walk through some of my thoughts…

Lauren’s first boyfriend sleighed me! Cowabunga dude! He was such a skater boy. He forgets why he’s there, but texted it to himself on the 1990’s phone. LOL. Do you know how long it must have taken him to text all that? It was on a phone without a keyboard!

Anyhow, after he leaves, Lauren wakes up and looks him up online. He’s now a real adult with a family. I loved how she looks him up online. I think we’ve all looked up our exes from time to time 😉

The next two boyfriends were pretty much the same story. They want more, but Lauren runs away. She runs directly to Nate each time. Yet even after the third guy, she still doesn’t see what’s happening? Okay, I’m calling BS on this. How blind is she?

Let’s take a moment to feel bad for Nate. Poor Nate! Every time he tries to tell Lauren how he feels, she friend zones him, uses him for an idea for her pitch, or runs away before he has a chance to say something. Chicken!!

This needs to be mentioned…

Ugh, the digital snow is killing me this season. I think I’ve seen it in every movie so far. I wish they would go back to real fake snow. This stuff is annoying. It doesn’t look anything like real snow and never lands on anything. Bring back real (or real fake) snow Hallmark!

Okay, back to the movie!

Overall, I think I enjoyed the movie. LOL. The ending was cute. I really liked when all four exes show up in the final few seconds of the movie. Sure, I could nitpick the movie to death. And those of you who read my blog regularly will know that friends to lovers is not a theme I typically enjoy, which could have been the majority of my issue with this movie. Give this movie a try! I’m sure you’ll at least like it a little 🙂

Hallmark Movie Review: The Santa Stakeout

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/the-santa-stakeout

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This movie is super cute! It’s definitely a must watch on my Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movie list! It’s cute, funny, and full of holiday cheer. Here’s a quick re-cap and my full two cents 🙂

Quick Re-Cap

A string of burglaries captures the attention of the Denver police. Frenemies Tanya and Ryan are assigned as partners to figure out who the burglar is. They rent a house next door to their suspect and become fake newlyweds to fit into their new neighborhood, but their fake marriage soon turns real as they get to know each other better.

My Two Cents

There were so many cute and funny moments in this movie! I loved Detective Scrooge versus Detective Jolly. They had great chemistry and it was so much fun watching them grow closer.

I also need to take a moment to recognize the geniusness of the hot cocoa tasting board!! OMG! Why do my local restaurants not have this?? Living in Wisconsin, we tend to only have beer tasting boards. Maybe someone will make a hot cocoa board popular soon! I’d like to see this overtake hot cocoa bombs 🙂

Sadly, we need to talk about something other than the hot cocoa here. So, let’s move on to the actual burglary case. I loved watching the detectives find the clues and work the case. Of course their first guess was wrong and I’m sure we all took a collective sigh of relief at discovering the truth.

I really can’t say enough good things about how wonderful Tamera and Paul were acting together. Especially at the end of the movie where they expose the real criminal and cement their relationship. I loved these two so much, I wish they’d pick them up for a holiday Hallmark Movies & Mysteries series.

I really needed all the joy and fun this movie brings to the start of the holiday season. This is how the countdown to Christmas season deserves to start! Add this movie to your holiday watching season and you won’t be disappointed. Happy movie watching y’all!

Hallmark Movie Review: Raise a Glass to Love

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/raise-a-glass-to-love

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Oh man guys. Another meh movie. Nothing in this movie gave me butterflies or made me say “awww…” Here’s a quick re-cap and my full two cents.

Quick Re-Cap

Jenna fails her Master Sommelier exam and returns home for her parent’s party and to study for re-taking the exam. While at home, Jenna learns her parents have hired Marcelo to help make the wine. Ever since her grandma died, the winery hasn’t been doing as well. Jenna and Marcelo become friends, but will they become more?

My Two Cents

I loved Laura Osnes in One Royal Holiday!! I liked her in this movie too, but Juan Pablo Di Pace wasn’t my cup of tea. Which would have been okay, if the plot or chemistry would have floated the movie. Unfortunately, it didn’t and there weren’t any butterflies flying in my belly when these two looked at each other.

This movie really tried to be something special. There were even horses! How can I not LOVE a movie with horses? I don’t know folks, but it’s missing the infamous IT factor. 😞

There were several cute and funny moments I enjoyed. I liked the candle making and apple bobbing. I liked that Marcelo is from Olivia, which just happens to be Jenna’s Grandma’s middle name. That kind of kismet makes me smile every time.

It was the little things that made this movie more entertaining, but it wasn’t enough. I found myself watching the previews for next week’s movie (it’s a horse movie) and wondering why I can’t watch that today. This isn’t a good sign.

Anyhow, if you like wine movies. I highly recommend Paris, Wine & Romance instead. I don’t think I wrote a review for it, but I really liked this one. It has another of my favorite leads. Happy watching y’all!

Book Review: Falling for Your Fake Fiancé

Image via: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56976228-falling-for-your-fake-fianc

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Falling for Your Fake Fiancé by Emma St. Clair

Exactly as expected

This book can literally be summed by the title. Throw in a former pageant winning southern belle and a hot lawyer and you have the whole book. Let’s do a very quick re-cap, then I’ll give you my two cents 😉

Quick re-cap:

Delilah finds herself fired from a doggy daycare business, but hired as a personal dog sitter for Thayden. At the same time, Thayden discovers he needs to marry within 3 months if he wants to inherit his family law firm. Let the fun begin!

My two cents:

If I could give half stars, this would be a 3.5, but I can’t, so I round up. I was a little underwhelmed with this book.

I felt the book was lacking excitement and there were several opportunities to make it more exciting, but they were all glossed over. The lobster climax scene was good, but it could have been better. What happened to Verity after the lobster incident?? I wanted closure!

Plus, Delilah should have stood up for herself. Instead, she ran. She never seems to stand up for herself except to Thayden. I wanted to see her to be stronger.

Sex would have also made this book more interesting. There’s a few kisses, but that’s it. 3.5 star plots need 5 star sex scenes!

I’ve read a few of these books accidentally and I think I’ve felt the same about everyone. I wish Kindle would warn me! I would not reread this book, so I’m not recommending it. There are plenty of better books out there. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Not Pretending Anymore

Image via: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57696044-not-pretending-anymore

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Not Pretending Anymore by Penelope Ward

Great ending!!

I feel like I’m in a book funk. This is the second book where I want to skip most of the middle and jump to the end. Luckily, this one had a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ending! Here’s a quick re-cap and my two cents.

Quick re-cap:

Molly is looking for a roommate and having a terrible time trying to find someone who is “normal.” Then Declan interviews for the roommate position.

Molly doesn’t want a male roommate, so she turns him down. But he doesn’t give up. When he leaves frosted cupcakes on her doorstep, she can no longer ignore him and gives him the roommate position.

Molly and Declan are both interested in other people and they use each other to make the people they’re interested in jealous. Eventually, they develop feelings for each other.

My two cents:

The beginning of this book was super cute. The interviews were pretty funny! I instantly liked this book.

However, once I hit the middle of the book, I became bored. I was tired of the wishy washy feelings they both had. Especially Molly. It took her longer to figure out what was right in front of her face.

In case it’s a turn off, there are mental health, divorce, and cancer themes for several different characters.

The end brought me to tears multiple times. Some sad tears and some happy. Have tissues near by if you’re a crier! I’m super glad I stuck with the book though, because I loved the ending and epilogue.

There was one sex scene at the end of the book. It was fine. This isn’t the type of book you read for sex though. It’s an all about the feels type of book.

If this sounds like a book you might like, then I say go for it. If you get bored easily and like more action filled books, then skip this one. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: (Not) The Boss of Me

Image via: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55923842-not-the-boss-of-me

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


(Not) The Boss of Me by Kenzie Reed

A-hole Boss Alert!

There are some really good/funny parts in this book! First I’ll do a quick re-cap, then I’ll share my two cents 😉

Quick re-cap:

Winona is a fierce southern bell who starts a war with Blake over starting construction too early in the morning. Their high emotions turn into a mini feud that involves some interesting pranks.

Little does Winona know that Blake is the CEO and owner of Hudson’s; a high end store where Winona desperately wants to work.

Winona scores a job at Hudson’s, but when Blake finds out, he makes her job miserable. He even changes her position to his admin and gives her impossible tasks.

Of course, their anger and frustration is covering for their real feelings. Soon they give into their romantic feelings that leads to more 🥰

My two cents:

I whole heartedly give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the southernisms, Winona’s family, and the Kitchen Krew. All of these gave the book great heart.

I struggled with Blake a little bit. He seems like the type of guy who would make a decision and keep it, but he hemmed and hawed over the relationship with Winona for a long time. Then he went back on his decision a few times.

He was also a jerk to everyone and thought he could throw money at any problem to make it go away. Yet he is able to turn it around and become a decent human being by the end of the book. I didn’t feel that was realistic.

Besides Blake, I had issues with all the lies revealed at the end of the book. And Blake forgives and overcomes them in the blink of an eye. He’s a better human than me.

There were a few sex scenes. Hmmm…I don’t remember them well. So, they were mediocre and/or too few.

Overall, the book was okay. There was a lot of really great comedic moments. However, it had an interesting mix of seeming too long, but not long enough. I wanted an epilogue or a little bit more at the end and less stuff in the middle.

I’ll leave this decision in your hands. I would probably read this again. So, I recommend reading it if it sounds like a book you might like. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Text me on Tuesday

Image via: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57109168-text-me-on-tuesday

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐


Fairly Good Book

Wow! This is a long review for me!

This book starts out really strong!! Love the opening few chapters. Unfortunately, it went down hill after that and the opening scene magic somewhat sizzles by the end.

Quick re-cap:

Aimee is a caterer in New York. She is a little down on her luck, but she is offered an opportunity to cater a big luncheon. Unfortunately, the guy she’s working with fails to tell her that she can’t wear any perfume on the job.

When she arrives, she’s told about the perfume issue and she needs to take a show in the CEOs (Noel’s) office. After her shower, Noel unexpectedly barges in and she slips into his arms.

Aimee borrows some ill fitting clothes from an employee and caters the rest of the lunch. At the end, Byron (the executive admin), gives her a post it with Noel’s phone number and a message to call. The post it was originally planned for one of the important people in the meeting, but Byron isn’t good with details.

Aimee starts texting Noel thinking she’s texting Byron. Noel pretends to be Byron and learns more about Aimee and starts to develop feelings for her.

My Two Cents:

The meet cute in the beginning of the book is super cute and funny!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unfortunately, the book kind of loses me after that.

I love accents and hot men, but I don’t love Noel. Noel whines and complains about not having time for a relationship, but he keeps leading Aimee on. He lies to Aimee about a few things in order to maintain his first lie that he’s Byron. He also doesn’t tell anyone at his office that Byron is his brother.

I don’t like liars. Noel lying about being Byron is only the first lie to Aimee and I was put off by this behavior.

Aimee was funny and creative, but stubborn and pig headed. In the end of the book, she finds out about the lie and she turns it into a much bigger deal than most adults I know would have.

I know I said I didn’t like Noel’s lying, but Aimee’s over reaction was a bit intense.

Beyond Aimee and Noel’s personality issues, I was upset about the lack of sex scenes. It normally doesn’t bother me, but I think that since I already had issues with the characters, then I wanted some good sex scenes.

There were also a few places in the book where 3 weeks or more go missing. One really upset me. I wanted the details of what happened! And how do Aimee and Noel go so long without making up if they’re in love??

Overall, there were some good solid RomCom moments that will have you laughing out loud. I loved the intro and several other scenes in the book, but I didn’t love the characters. I won’t be actively seeking other books in this series. You might enjoy this book more if you connect better with the characters. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Oops, I’ve Fallen

Image via: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56552082-oops-i-ve-fallen

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


I’ve fallen for this book!

Max Monroe has done it again! They are the queens of RomComs and I would bow down to them if I was ever lucky enough to meet them.

Quick Re-Cap:

Free spirited Carly travels to Florida to take care of her equally free spirited mother who broke her tailbone. She runs into Mr. Type A, Ryan, who is taking care of his father, Sal.

Sal and Carly’s mom, Stella, are dating. So, Carly and Ryan spend a lot of time together while taking care of their parents. I’m sure you all know where this is going😉

My two cents:

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! This is an opposites attract RomCom that will have you flat out laughing at least once per chapter.

From stuck up Betty to the smarter than he seems Sal, you will fall in love with all the characters. Especially when you see how Carly’s free spirit rubs off on Ryan’s type A self. Every character is perfect!

As with all Max Monroe books, these have a few intense sex scenes closer to the beginning of the book. I wish there was one more near the end of the book. I felt like I was having a dry spell and could use some relief😆

Overall, this was a super funny and fun book. I highly recommend this and all other Max Monroe books when you’re in the mood for RomComs.

One piece of advice…DO NOT read this before reading any other RomComs. They don’t compare. Switch genres when you’re done for your own benefit.

Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: A Lie for a Lie

Image via: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44776456-a-lie-for-a-lie

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Oh so sweet!

This is a really sweet romance. If you’re looking for happily ever after and sweetness, then this is your book!

Quick Re-cap:

Lainey falls into RJ’s lap on a flight out to Kodiak, Alaska. She’s afraid of flying and winds up using him as her emotional support person on the flight.

They have an instant attraction and wind up having cabins near each other. They have a fling for a few weeks, but then RJ is suddenly called to go help his brother and they fail to exchange numbers.

As fate would have it, they run into each other again about a year after they separated and the truths are revealed about what happened after they separated.

My two cents:

The title of this book is a bit misleading. I was hoping the lie would be bigger and it would have more action, but the lies were really pretty small and trivial.

Plus, the book was quite predictable. To some degree romances are predictable, but you can guess 90% of the book within the first chapter or two. You can guess the full 100% after they leave Kodiak.

There were some chances to make the book a little more exciting, but the author chose to skip those options 🙁

Lainey and RJ were adorable though. I really sympathized a lot with Lainey due to her anxiety and a lot of the post Kodiak activities she dealt with. She’s a strong woman, which made me really like her. And RJ is the type of guy every girl should be lucky enough to find.

There are some okay sex scenes. I’m glad the author didn’t go into detail every time they had sex, because these two are rabbits!!

Overall, this book is okay. I won’t read the others in the series purposefully, because I like more action and clear climaxes in my books. Give it a try if you want. Happy reading y’all!!

Hallmark Movie Review: Sweet Carolina

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/sweet-carolina

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I forgot there was a movie Saturday night!! It wasn’t just any movie either…it was a Lacey Chabert movie! How on Earth did I forget?? I don’t even know. Zach and I went rollerblading Friday night. So, last night Jeff and I were chilling and I finished a book and before I knew it, it was 10:30. I was done with my book, but I completely missed the movie.

I made sure I caught it tonight on replay and I’m beyond glad I did! This was a shockingly good movie! I wasn’t expecting it because the previews showed the death of parents, which usually means I won’t enjoy the movie, because it’ll be too sad. However, this is also a romcom!

Here’s a quick movie re-cap and my full two cents 🙂

Movie Re-cap

Josie’s sister and husband are in a car accident and are killed. They leave behind their two children. In their will, they appointed Josie as the guardian. Josie has to move from New York City back to her hometown to take care of her teenage niece and nephew. While there, she reconnects with her high school sweetheart, Cooper.

My Two Cents

Generally, I dislike movies where parents die and kids are involved. They’re usually too sad and I cry half the movie. Now, it could have been the time of the month, but I didn’t cry at all during this movie. I almost did during the bracelet scene, because that was so sweet, but really the movie was so funny and cute that there were very few sad moments.

Beyond the parents dying theme, this movie was a surprise romcom AND second chance high school sweet heart movie. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you’ll know those are two of my FAVORITE themes! They strongly overpowered the death of the parents and I could almost forget the sad parts.

Combine my favorite themes with Lacey Chabert (one of my girl crushes) and Tyler Hynes (who has been growing on me over the past few movies) and you have HALLMARK GOLD. These two were so funny and cute together. My heart practically burst when they kissed at the end of the movie! Now her first kiss can be her last. Awwww…

I also need to give a shout out to the kids. I loved how the movie explored their emotions, reactions to their parents dying, and their Aunt becoming their mom. Plus Cooper becoming more involved in their lives. I really loved the food fight scene with everyone. It was so fun! I wanted to be in that food fight!

Jeff was watching Idol while I was trying to watch this movie on my phone. He kept giving me funny looks while I was literally laughing out loud. He probably thought I was losing it. Nothing new there 🙂 But there were so many funny lines and cute moments. There’s a good chance you’ll like this if you give it a try. Happy movie watching y’all!

Book Review: A Man Worth Shaving For

Image via: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52215585-a-man-worth-shaving-for

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


A Man Worth Shaving For by Michelle Pennington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surprisingly WORTH IT!

I wasn’t expecting much from this book. I’ve never read this author and if you follow my reviews, you’ll know I don’t read what the book is about before I start reading (unless I’ve discussed it with the author), but the title caught my attention. I’m glad it did, because this book was surprisingly fantastic and totally WORTH IT!

Tessa is a curvy girl who works for a company that specializes in intimate clothing for women of different body shapes and sizes. This company is called…wait for it…Booms and Nibbles (B&N)…LOL.

I couldn’t read that without laughing every single time. In fact, I laughed throughout most of this book.

B&N is in trouble, so the owner hires a consultant, Logan. Logan and Tessa work together to reorganize the company and put people where they can be best utilized. While working together, they realize they have a connection that can’t be ignored.

This is such a good and funny read! I highly recommend it. It’s a shorter read, which can sometimes work against a book, but in this case, it was perfect.

I would have liked to read an epilogue of a few months or years in the future, but it’s okay that it didn’t have it. Everything tied up nicely.

There’s no actual sex in this book. The most you get is some intense kissing scenes. Yet I had butterflies while reading the whole book!

If romcoms are your thing, add this to your worth it list. Happy reading y’all!!

Hallmark Movie Review: Right in Front of Me

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/right-in-front-of-me

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m a die hard Pretty Little Liars fan, which by proxy makes me a Janel Parrish fan 🙂 I was dying to see Janel in a RomCom role and I’m super happy she didn’t disappoint. She’s adorable!

Now that you know about my girl crush on Janel, we need to talk about her movie costar. Who is Marco Grazzini and why haven’t I noticed him before? He was super cute in this movie. His role was perfect and I hope Hallmark pairs these two again!

Movie Re-cap

Carly (Janel) is a Bridal Stylist – not to be confused with a wedding planner. Say what? I didn’t know a thing like this existed. A bridal stylist ensures everyone wearing a dress or tux is wearing something they love and look great in, but she doesn’t get involved in the wedding details or designing the wedding itself.

Nick (Marco) is the chef at the hotel Carly is spending the weekend relaxing at with her friend.

Unbeknownst to Carly, there is a wedding happening at said hotel and the women she went to college with are all there for the wedding. Carly winds up helping the bride with some stylist tips and is invited to the wedding and wedding activities.

Carly finds out her college crush, Matt, is also in town for the wedding. While Carly explores what could have been she also finds out what could be with Nick.

My Two Cents

For the second week in a row, Hallmark hits the spot with a movie that you can turn on and watch any time. There’s nothing new or different about this movie. It’s a classic Hallmark RomCom, but these two have good chemistry and the movie is cute.

There were a lot of parts I enjoyed, but my favorite was probably when Carly convinced Nick and Matt to do the chicken wing challenge. While the two men were practically in tears from the heat of the wings, Carly gloatingly consumed hers to beat the challenge. This was so great!

Oh and Nick remembering to include the tiny fork with Carly’s dessert? Be still my heart! Men like this are keepers! They will always want to make you happy and they will remember these little things that make you happy. When you find a man like this, you hold on tight 🙂

This isn’t going to be one of those movies that you love so much you tell every person you know, but it will be one of those movies you are happy to watch and re-watch when ever you can. I hope you give this a try and enjoy it! Happy movie watching y’all.

Hallmark Movie Review: Chasing Waterfalls

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/chasing-waterfalls

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hallmark had me at “Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re use to…” One of my favorite 90’s songs! And yes, I did sing it EVERY SINGLE TIME the commercial came on. Jeff kept looking at me a little strangely, but that isn’t really different than normal. I give him lots of reasons to look at me strangely. 😉

Back to the movie Jamie.

Lets do a quick re-cap, then I’ll share my two cents on this corny cute movie.

Amy Atwater (hehe I giggled at the last name…Atwater…waterfalls – corny cuteness #1) is a photographer who primarily photographs people, but an opportunity comes up at work to take photographs of mystical waterfalls. Amy seizes the opportunity.

While trying to find her first waterfall, Amy befriends Mark North (who happens to have a great sense of direction – more corny cuteness) and his daughter Kyra. Amy asks them for directions while trying to figure out how return back to the lodge, but she winds up back at the waterfall.

Amy’s sense of direction isn’t the best. So, she asks Mark for his help locating the mystical/unicorn waterfalls. Mark eventually concedes, and him and Kyria take Amy around to the different waterfalls for her the magazine article.

OMG! Have I told you before that I love corny romcoms?? Corny jokes, corny names, and overall corny cuteness (is that a thing? Eh, it is now). I love it all!

I’m not alone in my corny attraction. As it turns out, Jeff likes corny romcoms too. Yup, he sat here laughing along with me. And yup, I took his man card. 🙂 Oh wait, did I just date myself? Are man cards still a thing? You’ll have to let me know.

Anyhow, this movie is super cute! Amy is such a sweet woman. Definitely directionally challenged, but kind hearted and funny too. In the very beginning of the movie, Amy takes a photo of an old man and his dog. Later she gives him the print of the picture at no charge. Awww…super sweet of her. Later in the movie, she helps Kyra with a boy she likes. It’s just in her to be nice.

I found myself wanting her to end up with a guy like Mark, who is also super sweet and corny. I loved his “Dad jokes,” and his daughter’s reaction to them. He was the perfect compliment to her.

Overall, this movie wasn’t unique or unpredictable, but it was all sorts of corny cute and adorable. Even Jeff gave it 👍 👍.

BONUS…halfway through the movie I found myself thinking, I’ve seen these two together before. A short google trip later and I found it! Love In the Forecast. Also a super cute movie! They can keep pairing these two together all day.

I hope you give this movie (and Love in the Forecast) a try if corny romcoms are your thing. They definitely are mine. Happy movie watching y’all!

Absolutely NOT Dreadful

Be still my geeky heart ❤️ This book is made for trivia loving, socially awkward geeks!

Zoey and Blake meet when Zoey crashes into his car. Zoey is the county coroner and Blake is an insurance agent. Through a serendipitous event where Zoey winds up doing the autopsy on someone who had a life insurance policy through Blake’s company, Zoey and Blake wind up working together to figure out how the man died.

There was a lot I enjoyed about this book! Zoey is my favorite type of character! She’s quirky, funny, and emotionally grows throughout the book. I loved her talking to dead bodies and the random trivia game her and Blake played.

More importantly, I think everyone deserves a boyfriend like Blake. He always puts Zoey first. He realized she was touching wooden objects for luck, so he went out and bought a bunch of wooden objects to put around his house, so she would always have something lucky to touch. And he embraces and loves everything that makes her who she is without trying to change her.

Give this book a try if it sounds like a good fit for you. It’s pretty good! Happy reading y’all!
