This novel is truly amazing. The interpersonal relationships are detailed and vivid. The characters are extremely realistic and relatable. The plot is unique and the treatment of common situations in unconventional and unexpected ways is terrific. To me, the best part, is the exploration of pre-conceived notions of how one should feel and act, and how through time, shared experiences and personal growth, that changes and evolves. I loved it so much I will give a copy to my mother-in-law.

A story of John Cusacs record store owning character's decent into madness as he tries to recall why his relationships are a failure.
Another fantastic comedy where it's difficult to find a weak point, all players are on form with stand out mention to Jack Black who munches through every scene he is in.
Championship records is not the place to buy music you love personally, unless you want a detailed reason why your musical taste sucks.

Blown away once again!
Once again Callie has blown me away with Colt & Caroline's story! I have loved every book she has written and every time she gets me with these hot a$$ scenes, passionate relationships and heartbreaking moments. I loved hearing about the whole family again, seeing this incredibly beautiful and passionate side of Colton and of course getting some good laughs a the FSOG & Outlander references ;-) HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended book, series and author!!

In this sixth book in the series the characters and their relationships continue to evolve. Some for good others not so much. The quest for a safe place and survival comes full circle just as all seems lost. Colt and Dani run into another man just trying to survive and keep his family alive. He is familiar to Colt. The pilot from the plane. This is where books 1-3 and 4-6 merge. Looking forward to see what happens next.

Stay with it!
I put this down after I read a few chapters because I felt like it was boring.

And then I picked it back up, and Baz entered, and I am so glad I did. It is brilliant and hilarious, and totally engaging.

The story, the relationships, and the characters are so witty and entertaining. I didn't expect to like this as much as I liked Fangirl, but I enjoyed it even more.

Shockingly good
I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri after watching it receive a couple of awards. I was not disappointed.

This movie covers some hard topics - the pain a family goes through after the rape and murder of the daughter, the fact that the crime is unsolved, small-town interpersonal relationships, cancer, suicide, but still has the perfect script to make it a dark comedy. The actors all did fantastic jobs. I highly recommend this movie.

A different zombie film
I just watched this for a second time and I still think it's a pretty good zombie film. Good actors and a guest appearance by Bill Murray.
It's not your typical zombie film, there is a definite lack of zombies and a focus on the personal and relationships during the apocalypse, with humour. It does make a nice change.

My favourite quote I sthat we've gone from "mad cow, mad human, mad zombie"

This is the third book in this series. I read the all three books in a matter of days after watching the movie. I really liked this story. I felt that it was a great ending for the story and character arcs and also felt that the theme of going away to college and what that means for you and your relationships is important. I liked the first book best, then this was my second favorite, but all are good! Go read them!
