Saturday Night Movie Suggestion: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. In this book to movie adaptation from Netflix, Lara Jean is a lonely girl with an affinity for romance novels and writing love letters she never intends to send. Chaos ensues when the letters find their way to the mailbox and the five boys she’s written to come looking for answers. What could be worse? Oh right, her neighbor and sister’s ex-boyfriend received a letter. AWKWARD!
I don’t want to spoil this amazing movie for you so just go watch it. It’s everything wholesome, adorable, and it’s full of teen angst and just enough first love and social media drama.
Saturday Night Book Suggestion: I’m in a lovey mood so in the spirit of Surrender to Passion and the lovely month of February I recommend The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. I am not a Sparks fan typically but when my husband was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010, one of the ways we stayed connected was to read the same books. He found this one and wrote me about it so I picked it up the next day.
This book was everything I needed at the time and the movie does not do it justice. Sparks’ depiction of superstition in the military is right on the money and amusing for us civilians.
In the book, a Marine (Logan) finds a picture of a woman wearing a T-shirt that says Lucky on it. He tries to find the owner of the photo but when he fails he ends up keeping it. He survives an IED explosion and starts to think it’s because of the photo. Upon returning to the US he travels cross country in an effort to find the woman and thank her.
Sparks deals with abusive ex’s, PTSD, survivor’s guilt and more making this book incredibly real and relatable.
Saturday Night Music Suggestion: While writing Soulmate Tango, I listened to 2000’s music but Michelle Branch stood out among the crowd. Her track “Everywhere” is so Lana and Jason I couldn’t get enough while I was writing. However, the entire “All you Wanted” album is amazing and I highly recommend it for when you’re in that new love phase. (or just thinking back to it.)
