Christina and 2010 other people liked Navessa's review of Me Before You (Me Before You, #1): " *WARNING: UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME* People seem to love opening their reviews of this book with gifs of ugly crying. I see your ugly crying and I raise you some rage: This not a romance novel. This is a story that revolves around an immature, self-ce..." Read more of this review »

Christina is 76% done with Year of Yes: Once I said yes to difficult conversations, once I said Yes to saying No, I made an interesting discovery.

Unhappy people do not like it when a fellow unhappy person becomes happy. I am absolutely sure this is true.
