ETHAN’S HIT A ROUGH SPOT

So I caught my dad in bed with my ex-girlfriend. My best friend cancelled our plans to celebrate my birthday. Decided to drink away the betrayal. Made out with a cardboard cutout of a celebrity in front of my new roommates. Got in a bar fight. Hooked up with that pretty bartender whose sad smile I’ve secretly been painting pictures of since forever, but she shoved me out the door without a word. Did I mention the tattoo I don’t exactly remember getting And that’s only Saturday Now I need to pick up the pieces of my messed-up life.

LEEANNE’S HAD A TOUGH LIFE

What do you do when you’ve lived in the same small town your whole life and you feel as if you’ll always be stuck in the same rut, like a piece of busted wagon wheel? Well, maybe you start by hooking up with the first decent guy who walks into your bar.
Maybe once you do, it’s hard to get him out of your head even though you try. And maybe, just maybe, you find out he makes you laugh even more than he makes you want to shout his name.
If you’re me, you don’t even know what to do with a guy like him. A little piece of happiness…that feels downright dangerous.
