Me Before You - Movie Review

Me Before You

Movie Review

Released 3 June 2016

Running time is 1 hour 50 minutes

When I saw the trailers for this movie, I was sure
it was going to be so sad. Depressing. A real downer.
Which, when I think about it, I wonder why anyone
would ever want to see such a movie?? But I did.
My husband even came with me.
Both of the starring actors were completely
new to us. We didn't recognize either of them.

There really is not much I can say about

Me Before You without spoiling it. Only that we

enjoyed it. We both did. I did tear up a

couple times.  But in the end, the story was a

magnificent one of love and broadening ones

horizons. I will say, please, keep your mind

open at the end. We both thought it was

a fabulously done movie and a great ending.

Really, the best possible way to end it.

The Marriage Season - Audio Version - by Linda Lael Miller

The Marriage Season

by Linda Lael Miller

Audio Version

This is book 3 of a four book series.

I have not read the first two. I found this one on

sale. So I decided to try it out.
I was not disappointed. It was a wonderful love story.

Really, that was it. There weren't any real

earth shattering tragedies.

It's a story of Bex, one of the three best friends starring

 in the series. She was engaged years ago. But he was

killed far from home and she has never recovered from

the loss. She has no intentions of ever truly loving again.

Tate has suffered his own love loss in the past. He has

two young sons that kept him from slipping under

after all the sadness.

The story has a steady pace and some terrific characters.

It is love at first sight at its best. Even though it's not

love at first sight for everyone. The Marriage Season

is an easy enjoyable love story.
Jack Garrett does a great job with the

narration! I am a big fan of men narrating love

stories. I will be looking up more from him.

I bought my audible copy of 

The Marriage Season at audible.com

The Lucky One - Movie review

The Lucky One

A Movie Review

Released in 2012

Starring Zac Efron &

Taylor Schilling

I read this story before going to see the movie.
It was my first and only Nicholas Sparks books.
I was not warned ahead of time that his stories are notorious
for their sad endings. Thankfully, the movie was not.
It was close to the book. But I preferred the movie.
Kind of a strange ending but happy.



I have never been a fan of Zac Efron, he is so pretty.

Its really hard to watch him. But he really did a fabulous

job on this one. A brooding, struggling Marine suffering

with ptsd. He is trying to find an angel he thinks saved

his life more than once on the battle field.

I have never seen Taylor Schilling in anything else.

She was perfect for this part. Her grandma is played by

Blythe Danner. Never much cared for her movies in

the past but she was perfect for this role and did a

great job.

Its a romantic movie with real actual hard, destructive,

scary, sad, emotional life. Because it winds up the

best possible way, you can only sigh.
