seriously romantic: for better or worse by lauren layne

i'd previously reviewed to have and to hold, which was the first book in the wedding belles series and while i was more intrigued by the story simmering between alexis and logan, it made sense that for better or worse would be heather's story. i'm a sucker for many a romance trope, and the neighbors who hate each other but have crazy chemistry is one of my favorites. and heather and josh might actually end up being one of my favorite couples who fall into this category.

everything about them is awesome. the chemistry. the issues keeping them from fully committing. the way the relationship becomes a relationship without either of them realizing. the declaration of love. the big romantic gesture. it just all worked for me. and it's weird because both heather and josh are somewhat frustrating. but you also get it. the author gives you enough background to let you understand why they have the hang-ups they do. and even when the characters, and josh in particular, behaves in ways that are utterly frustrating, they are also in character and make complete sense.

but really the chemistry between these two characters was super hot. i loved that they referred to each other by their apartment numbers. i loved how they talked to each other period. even when they were arguing or talking around things, the way they interacted felt so real. and i just ate it up. the wedding belles series is definitely worth reading, and so far for better or worse is my favorite. but to love and to cherish will be released later this fall, and i'm guessing it will be alexis and logan's turn at the plate. maybe it will be a grand slam?

**for better or worse will publish on august 30, 2016. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/gallery, threshold, pocket books in exchange for my honest review.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

hmmm, it's been months since i've blogged about gh . partly this is due to the fact that i fell behind while i was traveling. partly because all the outrage lapsed into disinterest when i realized i couldn't bring myself to care anymore and everything that was happening was just so trite and boring. some days i still feel that way. and there are still whole storylines that i either hate or just fast forward through. but there are some good things too. in no particular order, here are my thoughts on the goings-on in port charles: 1. soras [and why re-casting roles works on soaps even if you do miss the original actors]: the new, older versions of sonny's kids are turning out to be quite enjoyable. [although hilariously, cameron whom i believe is older than molly is now younger. and because cameron is so cute, i'm kind of hoping they won't fix that. we also haven't seen spencer in ages, so he may be approaching 50.] in any case, at this point we've only s
