HILARIOUS!!!


What a crazy and amusing ride!

What a witty and sweet romantic comedy!

What do we have:

BR with Lena & Sofia! Thanks, girls!


It's official. Marshall Thornton has his romantic comedy claws into me as well as his detective claws.

He's sucked me in like a...like a...sucky thing. A thing that sucks.

Clearly I suck at metaphors.
