Me to the Husband: Aw, your birthday's soon. How old are you going to be? Him: 58? Me: No, your brother is going to be 58, you're going to be 57. Don't even know when you were born. You pitiful pitiful man. Where do you want to go? To a restaraunt? Him: Sure. I like to eat. Me: Before you go anywhere you need to do something with that hair. I don't like my men ungroomed. It's all floppy and wild. You look like Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. You look like you came from The Albert Einstein School of Rejects. Him: The Albert Einstein School of Rejects.

 A synopsis from Goodreads- Amy Winthrow is shocked when her grandmother dies—not because Elizabeth Hathaway’s death is unexpected but because her existence had always been hidden. Ever-inquisitive and prone to letting her imagination get the best of her, Amy embarks upon a journey with an unlikely friend to unravel the mysteries of the elusive Lizzie Hathaway. As she follows the trail of broken dreams and promises of her grandmother’s life, Amy finds herself on a path of accidental self-discovery—a path that she chases all the way to Paris where Lizzie’s story ends and Amy’s begins. Chasing Paris by Jen Carter My rating: 4 of 5 stars A novel about the ties of family and choosing the path that would make a person happy and not just settle for something because you think it's the "right" choice. A very enlightening read- I really enjoyed it. View all my reviews
