Book B*tches: The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger
Happy Wednesday! Last week I hosted my B*tches to discuss The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger while dining on food from the book. It’s not what I thought it was, but that turned out to be a good thing because I’m not sure I would have read it had I known. I really […]
