MARIANAS TRENCH | I'VE MISSED YOU

My freshman or sophomore year of high school (2012ish) I was on Wattpad reading Death is My BFF (10/10 would recommend) and there was a link to a band called Marianas Trench. I had never heard of them before, and I saw that was because they are Canadian, and although it seems super popular freaking huge in Canada, they are not as big in the U.S (which blows my mind because they are simply amazing). I started listening to their stuff and fell in love. After a few new phones and computers since then I had lost their music and I forgot about them.

I'LL MEET YOU THERE | BOOK REVIEW

Synopsis: 

If seventeen-year-old Skylar Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby on her hip, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell. But after graduation, the only thing standing between straightedge Skylar and art school are three minimum-wage-months of summer. Skylar can taste the freedom—that is, until her mother loses her job and everything starts coming apart. Torn between her dreams and the people she loves, Skylar realizes everything she’s ever worked for is on the line. 

Nineteen-year-old Josh Mitchell had a different ticket out of Creek View: the Marines. But after his leg is blown off in Afghanistan, he returns home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be. What brings them together is working at the Paradise—a quirky motel off California’s dusty Highway 99. Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into an unexpected friendship and soon, something deeper. 

Gritty, romantic, and ultimately hopeful, I'LL MEET YOU THERE explores the complicated lives of an unforgettable cast of characters. This is the story of teens outside the picket fence. It doesn’t soften the edges of adolescence or the individual consequences of war; it’s life on the fringes—maddening, weirdly endearing…and completely screwed up. 

CONTAINMENT | CW'S BIG MISTAKE

Today was a very sad day. I found out that the CW is not renewing their new limited series Containment. I am so speechless about this I don't even know what to do with myself.

THE BOOK OF IVY AND THE REVOLUTION OF IVY | SERIES REVIEW

On this peaceful May evening, I have just finished reading The Book of Ivy and The Revolution of Ivy by Amy Engel. It took me one day to get through both books because I could not put them down and that is how you know a book is 10/10.

SAN ANDREAS | MOVIE OF THE SUMMER?

Last night I went to see San Andreas. Of course I wanted to see the movie really bad actually, but I thought it might be like a 2012 remake. Absolutely not. San Andreas is the movie of the summer for me. It's got everything a great movie has: little bit of action, little bit of romance, little bit of comedy, and a little bit of (or a whole lot of) feels. If you didn't like The Rock before (which is unexplainable how could you not love The Rock???) you will love him after this movie. Best performance to date in my opinion. If you are still thinking "2012 knock off" just imagine the biggest number ever times that by the 100 and you will get how much better San Andreas was compared to 2012.

10/10 must see. 







Until next time,

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT | SEASON 2 CRAZIEST YET

"Married at First Sight's Jessica Castro Is 'Terrified for Her Life,' Says Lawyer"

http://www.people.com/article/married-first-sight-jessica-castro-terrified-ryan-de-nino

Yes I am guilty of watching this sometime boringly slow show. But have you seen what has been going on with Ryan De Nino? This is some crazy ish okay I always knew he was a little cracked out, but to supposedly threaten your wife, or I guess ex-wife, on TV is pretty stupid.

HILARY DUFF | BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!

I decided I wanted to get some tunes for my phone so I went on iTunes to look and see what was popular to see if there was anything that caught my ears. Well one things for sure: Hilary Duff's album did! I heard some talk of her having a new album (apparently it hit #1 too!) but didn't think much of it.
