Stream It Or Skip It: 'Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering Vs. Haysom' on Netflix, A True Crime Docu-Series About Who's Really Responsible For A Pair Of Gruesome Murders This book was hilarious, relatable, passionate, and so very well done. I have loved everything written by Katherine Center and I am sad I let this sit on my shelves for as long as it did. The banter, the adventure in the wilderness, the healing…all so perfect. I loved this book. I highly recommend it to anyone drowning in negativity. Because I sure was and continue to challenge that.” Happiness” has absolutely everything you could ever possibly want in a novel. Heart, soul, emotion (lots and lots of emotion, cue the tears) witty banter (cue the hysterical laughter!) phenomenal writing and characters you can’t help but love. Such a delight. Snappy, engaging writing, flawed, relatable, and lovable characters that I miss already, and even some surprisingly memorable and meaningful nuggets of wisdom. Tender and funny and such a good story!”

Helen explains what happened when she reaches the lead group after nightfall, and they decide to go find them at dawn. Sharing a tent with Jake, she tells him her middle brother Nathan had drowned when she was six. Helen felt responsible, and the family unraveled with first their dad, then their mother, leaving them. They both act jealous: Jake over her accepting Mike's constant messages and Helen over his kiss with Windy, although it was during a game of Truth or Dare. It’s almost impossible to make me cry. This book, these characters accomplished that. I loved every single reading minute.” Stream It Or Skip It: ‘A Haunting in Venice’ on Hulu, Kenneth Branagh's Creepy Riff on Agatha Christie I love the characters that she creates. They’re always very realistic and human. And there’s a light fluffiness to her stories but also there’s always a depth to them.”This was essentially one of those books where everything happens in service of plot, even if it makes no sense at all. So the male love interest declares his long-standing affection for the main character early on, and she rebuffs him even though she likes him too ... but then spends the whole rest of the book wondering, every time his attention seems to be focused elsewhere, if he still likes her. I can't even count the number of times I thought to myself, Omigod! He ALREADY TOLD YOU he likes you! When he gave you that Pablo Neruda poem, that meant he likes you. When he kissed you and told you you were beautiful, that meant he likes you. When he told you he'd basically been obsessed with you for six years, THAT MEANT HE LIKES YOU. Not that difficult. But, of course, without this completely unrealistic fake conflict, there'd be no book at all. That's a problem. I love E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G about Happiness for Beginners! I love the growth of the characters, the theme of the book and the wilderness trip. In my opinion, there was not a single scene that didn’t have a reason to be there. When I die, bury me with all of Katherine Center’s works because they are just the epitome of what I need in a romance novel: a strong main character who has to overcome some obstacle, excellent dialogue, and a love interest who is supportive and interesting and romantic.” Katherine Center does it again! Such an interesting story and a grumpy but loveable protagonist. I can't wait to see the film adaption!
