Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag

Hi guys! Today I will be doing the Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag. The number of people who I have seen do this tag has been way too many before I finally got myself to do it after being tagged. Thank you to Nikki Swift Reads  for the tag and I am so glad to finally be getting to this! Go check out her tag by clicking on the hyperlink listed before. Let's get right into the tag!

She gets accepted to a prestigious creative writing program at an art school but finds that her mind has gone blank with ideas. This means that, with the help of her best friend, she must bring the ideas from the romance novels she loves and bring them into her real life in order to spark some ideas.  My Opinion: This sounds like such a captivating story and such a unique idea! This seems like the perfect read for me and I am so glad th...
