Check them out with the button below. Anyways, the point of me telling you that was cause I will be putting out more book reviews. May twice a month, but will still have my rainy thoughts.

I wanted to see that musical with her because, well, the musical is about friendship. So naturally, I took my best friend to see it. My best friend and I have been bet friends since our junior year of high school and friends since the second grade when I went up to her and asked if she wanted to play and she looked at me dead in the face and replied, "No." What do I mean by Date your best friend?

Why Date Your Best Friend?   Because you will find that dating your best friend will help you to see what you want in your next partner.
