Book Review: "Where The Road Takes Me" by Jay Mclean

Where the Road Takes Me by Jay McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

**I was gifted with an ARC of this book for my honest review**

WOW... So I was able to finish this book in about 2 or 3 days. This book pulled me in from the prologue. THE PROLOGUE people. I couldn't put it down. But of course we do need sleep as human beings and I am a mom of 2 kids so life happens.

So lets talk my thoughts before I started this book. I thought it would be about this couple that just go on the road together. That they just up & left for the purpose of just wanting to. Which did intrigue me I love very random spur of the moment events like that in a book. But to my surprise that wasn't the case and it was actually SO much better.

The conflict and the whole story within itself is so consuming. You feel for Chloe and for Blake and even Josh. I loved their way of clicking. How people so different and in different places in their life can still find a common ground was so beautiful. You appreciate everything. There were times when Chloe really did make me upset but at the same its part of her story. We cant ask for perfect characters. They wouldn't be lovable if they were perfect. Its the imperfections that make them more approachable or in this case relatable. I loved this whole story and Blake wow... He has became a new Book Boyfriend to add to my list. I have no shame in saying that. Thank you for that epilogue. Nowadays so many books either don't have an epilogue or leave with this rushed ending that your kind of left with questions and I didn't feel that at all. I was completely happy with it. Thank you for letting me read this.

I definitley recommend adding this book to your "TO BE READ" list... as a matter of fact if you CLICK HERE you will be taken to the contest entry to win a copy of this book. SOOO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!

Q&A fun!

Thought a really fun way for readers to get to know me would be to just plainly do a Q&A.. so here it is! 

1. How tall are you? well all my life I thought I was 5’2 and turns out I am only 5 foot… so yes a fabulous 5 feet tall!
 
2. How old are you? I am 27 years old!

3. When's your birthday? My birthday is December 13th

4. Zodiac sign? I am a sagittarius 

5. Favorite food? I just plainly love food i don’t necessarily have a favorite. But I guess I can say I love pastas, shrimp, chicken. I am from the south & right now I am dreaming of some baked mac & cheese and fried chicken a roll & sweet tea from Minnies Uptown Restaurant in Columbus GA. AMAZE-BALLS!!!

6. Ever been in love? I am right now & married to him too! 

7. Ever had a terrible breakup? i don’t believe I have ever had a terrible break up. I have had a break up in the past and it was with my husband when we first started dating years & years ago but it wasn’t terrible really. 

8. Are you still friends with any of your exes? I married my ex… lol

9. Any tattoos? yes I do! i have a total of 6 tattoos. My forearm, wrist, feets, & my side.

10. Any piercings? i have my ears pierced and belly button that i have had for years now… lol 

11. Favorite show? as of right now i have a few i can’t just narrow it down to one but my top is of course Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time, The Originals, & Reign

12. Favorite movie? my favorite movie… hmmmmm. This is truly a hard one because I am a big movie lover. I love too many movies but if i have to name a few that come to mind right now. I guess Divergent was pretty bad ass (also an amazing book series) & The Fault In Our Stars, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Superbad & Catching Fire. I have too many to name honestly. I can't just pick one...

13. Besides your favorite movie, what movies could you watch over and over and still love? uhhhhhh… First off any Harry Potter film & I could watch Silver Linings Playbook over & over again. Also Hocus Pocus & Nightmare Before Christmas. Sweet Home Alabama (DUH!) Mean Girls (sorry! LOL!) 

14. Favorite actor? well lets see… my favorite actress which i think a lot of my friends already know is Jennifer Lawrence. She is sooo damn talented and from when I first saw her in Poker House i just was just in awe of how amazing she was and such a young age. A favorite actor of mine would have to be Peter Dinklage and I selfishly say that because he portrays Tyrion in Game of Thrones and his portrayal deserves an award. I have never loved a character so much from the first moment I was introduced to them in the first season and he did that. He made me love Tyrion from the beginning and i still do.

Who would you like to see in concert? Mumford & sons & Imagine Dragons & Ellie Goulding

21. Quality you look for in a partner? Funny

22. Where do you go when you’re sad? ummm no where in particular. I guess I turn to my books.

23. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? it all depends on where I’m going. If I’m just taking my daughter to school then just 5 minutes but if i actually got somewhere to run errands and i want to look a bit more put together then maybe 30 minutes.

Busy Bee & Parentals!

So my fellow friends here we meet again at another blog entry and honestly i feel like its a very boring one. So an early warning for you & I will insert apology... NOW " Im sorry!"

This week has been an extremely busy week & as I am typing this for y'all I am literally only an hour and a half away from seeing my parents. Excited is an understatement right now. Next month would have been a year since I seen my parents so this visit is long long overdue!!! I have missed them sooo much!!!!

This the last picture of me with my parents & my brother as well at the airport before I left on my journey to AHHHHHHHH-LASKA!

So besides getting ready for their visit this week it has also been my daughters last week of Gymnastics & they had a show today that they put on for all the parents. She had been practicing this week specially because she wanted to get the moves down packed. She is so cute and boy was it exciting just to see her face after she performed. It wasn't even about me being proud of her because let be honest I was over the moon proud of her but she was proud of herself. Seeing her being proud of herself made me even more proud of her. I want to really instill this self gratification in her. I believe that the happiest people are those who know their self worth and do things for themselves because they know they can. Its not that she should be selfish I just want her to know that she can achieve anything on her own because she knows she can.

Here is my awesome daughter right before she performed & my husband! :)

Also as I am typing this cool doubly dooo my friend Johnny & I are talking about starting a collaboration blog together. It will definitely have a lot more content and honestly I am starting to find my solace in writing again (or typing in this case) but basically putting my thoughts down on some kind of media. I am far from being the best writer but for me its just soothing. So that pretty exciting!!! we will have lots fun stuff and once details are final I will link it here so that y'all can go & check it out!

Lastly another super cool thing that happened this week was that I was a part of a collab photo shoot with my friend Meghan & Sophia. So here is the super rad thing about these 2 ladies. Meghan makes jewelry for her shop on Etsy called Swallows Heart and if your not already a fan of her stuff well then you will be. I am obsessed with her jewelry. Its so unique and I am all about unique & stylish pieces. Then there is Sophia who is a photographer & she is absolutely talented. So here is the thing I am not a model and i don't like to smile. Its not because I'm not happy its because I just have always felt like I have a fake smile. Sophia totally had me actually laughing and it looked natural she took hold of the shoot and no matter how I look in the picture I gotta give her all the modeling credit because she totally told what to do right down to my fingers and she is truly talented! i can't wait to see these pictures. I was the makeup artist for the shoot so its showcasing a few things all in the one. Sophia's editorial side, Meghan's gorgeous jewelry, and my makeup and I couldn't be happier. Cant wait to post all the photos when they are finally done! Cross your fingers for something soon!!!!! here is just a little taste of my Thursday night! :)
