Friends With Kids. Another Piece of My Heart.

Friends With Kids (2011)

Here's another one that I've been waiting to get from the library for quite a while and I was definitely happy with the results. It's similar to your average romantic comedy in that it's obviously a comedy with romance but Friends With Kids had more substance then others. The movie centers around two friends who want to have kids but don't want to ruin a romantic relationship by having them so they decide to have a child together without the romantic ties. Four of their closest friends have children and they don't seem to be very happy and they are bound and determined not to end up like them. The main reason I wanted to see this movie was because I love Adam Scott (Jason) and I've loved him since his time on Boy Meets World (which apparently he hated so that's a bummer). He was really great in the lead role of Jason and I'm glad he finally got to play the lead in something. The movie had a really solid cast, including Maya Rudolph, Chris O'Dowd, Megan Fox, Kristin Wiig, Jon Hamm, Ed Burns and Jennifer Westfeld (who wrote and directed it) and they all did a really solid job and I liked that they all played a part in the way the movie flowed. If you like a good romantic comedy with a little bit of drama, I would definitely recommend this, & even if you don't like that type of movie I would still recommend it because it was just a really good movie.

Another Piece of My Heart (2012)

Just got done reading this the other day and I absolutely loved it! I randomly grabbed it off the shelf at the library one day and after the first few pages I totally fell in love with it. The main plot of the story is about a woman's relationship with her stepdaughter (they basically hate each other) and I feel like I was actually kind of drawn to this book. I'm currently going through a little something with my own stepmother so I was able to relate to this book right off the bat. The story really changes throughout the book but it stays amazing throughout. I've never read anything by Jane Green before but I will definitely be reading more by her. I highly recommend picking this up the next time you're at the library or bookstore.
