I shrugged and finished my eyeliner. He was right, of course. The look I was going for here wasn’t just a little overboard—a skin-tight, pink tank top and white pants that…

An enjoying read and a guilty pleasure.
Well written, down to earth, perfect description, and narration is sweet. I loved this read.
