Fascinating, Irresistible is the Allure of the Secret Baby
My absolute most guiltiest pleasure in the world is a well written book or movie with a secret baby plot. You could probably blame that on me growing up watching telenovelas. There are essential elements to all telenovelas: a secret baby, an evil twin, a despicable in-law, and the heroine will inherit a large fortune midway […]

Insecurity is the Bully Standing Over Your Shoulder Until You Shove It Back
