This is NOT a perfect marriage!
A few months ago, Tara was raving about this book she read. “You have to check it out!” she gushed, so I added it to my Kindle queue. I love a good recommendation! Meanwhile, this week I was slogging through a book so bad, it infuriated me: The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose. (If this…

Correct pronunciation and all. “I don’t believe so!” I replied, and assumed…
