pink lipstick: why I love my 30s (vol. 2)
It’s my 31st birthday and the perfect time to pick this series back up. (Part one: true #squadgoals.)

{book review} Like Never Before by Melissa Tagg
Y’all, I’m enchanted. I finally read Like Never Before, the second book in the Walker Family series by Melissa Tagg, and am now a good way into the first book in the series on my Kindle because 1) I’m invested in this fictional family and 2) reading out of order is how I roll sometimes. {I
