What's Going On Here?
There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Life is Hard, for everyone!
Through to You was a good, good book. I gave it five of five stars on goodreads because I thought Lauren Barholdt did a great job of offering insight into why some people act the way they act. We're all so quick to judge people, especially guys who seem like "jerks" and worse words when they jump from girl to girl or close themselves off from real feelings. Penn is one of those guys. But we find out why Penn acts the way he does. That doesn't excuse his behavior, but it really helps the reader to get a better understanding. Maybe we all need to just take a chance on people, find out about people, who they are, what they are, and why they are. No one gets through this world without feeling any pain, pain influences our behavior. This was a very good relationship study, told from the POV of Penn and Harper, as they try to figure out how to be together, despite their baggage.
