My ♥️, y'all. This review of AS THOUGH YOU WERE MINE:

Best book ever.
This was a poignant story of family loss, with an exceptional twist of love gained. I couldn't put this story down. I would also read it repeatedly. I enjoyed all of the plot twists... (1/2)

I love competitive cooking shows, but my least favorite aspect is when contestants are asked why they want to win, and it's, 'To prove to my son that I can do anything,' or 'I want to do this for my Nana, who [sob story]'. But this one guy just said, "I'm a drag queen and wigs are expensive."

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning.
both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.
