Title: Something Borrowed Author: Emily Giffin I have a lot of issues with this book. A lot of issues. First of all, I don't like reading a book where the protagonist (Rachel) is completely unlikable. She is weak, and the entire plot of the book is about her doing something completely despicable to her best friend (Darcy). Not that Darcy is an angel. She's terrible, too. Two of the main guys in the book (Dex and Marcus) are also horrendous. Then there are the other girls in the book--Claire, Hillary, and Annalise. Claire is horrible. Annalise is weak like Rachel.

Title: Drinking & Dating Author: Brandi Glanville This book has mediocre reviews elsewhere, and I'm here to say that I actually disagree. I'll preface this by saying that I actually quite like Brandi Glanville. Yes, she's inappropriate at times, but she's refreshingly honest in a world of "plastics" ( Mean Girls reference). This book takes you behind the scenes of her dating life, some of which you catch glimpses of during her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It's funny, a little sad, charming, and a breeze to read. The only thing I didn't care for was her constant use of hashtags. I don't feel like those have a place in books. Other than that, I really enjoyed this. Four out of five stars. ------------ READING PROGRESS: Written in My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon: 68% The Waste Lands by Stephen King: 51% Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn: 10% The Night Trade by Barry Eisler: 60% Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin: N...
