Don’t scrub don’t scrub don’t scrub! DO NOT SCRUB your beautiful face! Wash, yes. Cleanse, yes. Exfoliate, sure. Ixnay on the scrubbing.

HAAAAATED!!! Read it for my book club but it didn’t get much love from any of us. Just a miserable story with miserable characters and . . . that was it. Ick.

Everything you said. Everything.
