The Finishing Touches **

Just finished reading the Finishing Touches by Hester Browne. I am only giving this book a 2 out of 5 stars. The book was pretty boring! Basic story line is about a girl who was left on the door steps of a finishing school when she was a baby. She ended up being raised by the owners of the school. Later after Franny(her adoptive mother) dies she comes back to help out the school that is on the verge of being closed. She teaches the girls practical everyday things instead of how to marry well. There is a bit of a love triangle that just fizzled and a very anti-climatic end. It's ok for a quick weekend read but I wouldn't rush out to get it. The best part of the book for me was all the helpful tips added at the beginning of the chapters!

The Last Song **.5

Finished reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks last week and thought I would give you my review on it. I am going to give this a 2 1/2 out of 5 stars. It was just ok. It was typical Nichols Sparks. You will need a tissue at one point which is normal with Sparks, but the rest of the story is fluff. Young girl, love, family, rebellion, and finding your self! I would have to say that my favorite character was the little brother Jonah...he had some great one liners! It's a good summer read! I of course had to check out the movie after reading the book, and I thought that the movie was pretty true to the book. Not sure I will be reading anymore Nicholas Sparks but it was ok overall.

4 Years!

Today Hubby and I celebrate our 4th year of wedded bliss. I don't know about all you out there but I haven't done the traditional anniversary presents (ie... paper, cotton, metal, etc.) However, the 4th year is fruit or flowers. So I would be totally ok with getting one of these babies from edible arrangements. YUM! Happy anniversary honey if you read this I love you!
