September 28, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Fateful is like Titanic the movie meets Twilight. It was one of those ideas that was so unique but at the same time it was like, "Why hasn't someone thought of this before?"

Flashback Friday: I Didn’t Do It

September 23, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Flashback Friday 2 Comments
