What I Wish I’d Known Before Moving in Together
What I Wish I’d Known Before Moving in Together
Moving in together can be a glorious and stressful experience. The prospect of sharing space, bills, meals, conversation and a bed can be incredibly exciting. What happens if it doesn’t work out?

2. Clearly, I Didn't Think This Through by Anna Goldfarb
1. Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
Sometimes when I'm bored I like to put on my reading blazer, pretend to smoke a pipe, and take a fancy picture of myself reading a book.
My friend Anna wrote a book. A real book. With a publisher and everything. It's much more impressive than my trapper keeper full of Golden Girl's fanfiction.
The book is called *deep breath*
Clearly, I Didn't Think This Through: The Story of One Tall Girl's Impulsive, Ill-Conceived, and Borderline Irresponsible Life Decisions
I've read almost 37 pages and I have laughed 184 times.
That may not be true. I don't actually count my laughter. But it feels true, ya know?
Anna's blog is great and her writing and humor have always been top notch. I can comfortably say you will have no problems enjoying this book. I give it 9 bear hats out of 7.
